How much bloatware is on the S7?

[ironass]

It would seem that Verizon has adopted a novel new approach to bloatware on their Galaxy S7 models. In an attempt to get more of their own revenue generating apps on the phone, they are leaving out some of the stock Samsung apps such as the Samsung browser and Samsung Pay.

I can understand why they would leave out the stock browser. In my mind most people use Chrome anyway. Like I said, in my mind, not necessarily a reality. Now why they left out Samsung pay I have no clue. But I know it's one of the first as I'm installing so I can get a free wireless charger.

Considering that they also did this on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy s6 at launch, it it isn't really new.

I wish my phone didn't have them. All I can do is disable them but they are still taking up space.]

Everyone is different as I really look forward to the MS apps and think its a big plus.

I have my Note 5 rooted that has all of these apps removed plus the T-Mobile and Google apps removed that are normally nor removable.

I'm not going to root my S7 Edge but I wish that these Microsoft apps were at least removable.
