Your phone pretty lean huh , I have usually about 20 to 25 apps installed on mine maybe 5 are paid

I have zero third party apps at the moment.... so I guess I'm way beyond lean lol. The only apps I install are possibly banking apps, and apps that come with something I've purchased like a Fitbit, security cameras etc.

My phone is, I suppose, very lean. I have Nova Prime and two dictionaries that arepaid for. I have Snapseed which is free. Then I have a few company specific apps--such as my electric utility and Amazon Kindle--which are also free.

Now I'm curious. When I go to apps in settings it says I have a total of 87 apps. What's your total?

Mine says total 66 , I think that's misleading because its included all native apps .

Edit: I'm sure I have more apps on my phone then you.
But if download something and forget to delete it can show up there. Example like subsratum plugins or similar

One of the reasons I like Android is the fact that the same apps are free that are charged for on iOS. Ive paid for 3 apps in my lifetime; Nova Prime, aCar(now Fuely), and supported a ROM builder back in the day. Otherwise, everything is free.

That is true and some of them are more expensive on iOS.

I can also add that I usually use free version unless I need the extra features then I'll pay the full version.

I pretty much paid for all the free apps that I frequently use if they have a paid version. Actually I don't pay for them... because I have Google Rewards app (the Google surveys that give Play Store credit) so I usually have about $16 to 25 credit on my Play account.

Google rewards are always a welcome if you get them .
