Unlocked S7 Bloat

[anthonium]

For those who own the unlocked Galaxy S7, can you confirm how much bloat it has and whether it can all be uninstalled? Can Samsung's apps also be uninstalled? I'm considering taking advantage of Best Buy's black friday deal for the unlocked version. I just ordered a OnePlus 3T considering it's great value for the price but I'd also like a phone that can guarantee a bit more support both for technical and software issues. I've never owned a Samsung phone. For how long are OS major version updates supported?

I think that the bloat on the Unlocked S7 was like... Facebook (use Swipe instead), Whatsapp, and .... maybe Instagram or Hancom Office Suite.

All of them can be uninstalled or disabled.

Most of the missing Samsung stock apps can be had from either Galaxy Apps or the Play Store.

Not for long. I have a Note 4 (2 year old device), I got Marshmallow and that's the best I can hope for. (At least, official OTA anyway).
