Taken directly from the AC preview:
Does anyone who's had a hands-on with the new HTC 10 know what other apps are installed over and above the usual HTC/Google ones please?
And yeah, my definition of Bloatware does include FB, Instagram etc as I don't use them.
Of the very small number of preloaded apps, it's about a 50/50 split between HTC and Google. The major exceptions are News Republic — part of BlinkFeed — as well as Facebook, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. HTC tells us it's moving away from agreements with app providers for preloaded content, so if you're buying an HTC 10 unlocked directly from the manufacturer, you won't have any bloatware to worry about. (Unless your definition of bloatware includes Facebook, of course.)
