We bought exactly one Samsung Android device, that attempted to force us to use Samsung tools for:

  • app store
  • email
  • contacts
  • calendar
  • internet browsing
  • calculator
  • chromecast

I'm pretty sure that there were more.

We won't ever buy a Samsung Android device again.

    You can always ignore them and install your own apps. The problem is that it doesn't let you uninstall them and they take up space for no reason. For what it's worth, some of Samsung's default apps are better than Google's.

    Yup, same, years ago I used all the google apps, chrome, gmail, pay, keep, contact, clock, etc then bought a Samsung phone so every apps were kind of duplicated with samsung pay, samsung internet, samsung agenda, samsung gallery, samsung clock etc. And if you use google clock for your morning alarms, samsung app killer will kill it during the night and BAM! no alarm the morning. I ditched it and bought a Pixel.
