Is the note 7 heavy on software like previous Samsung devices?

I have an S4 and my experience with it has been a complete disaster: the software is heavily loaded - at least too much for my taste, the phone has cracked quite a few (real exaggeration, the phone is battered), and now Wi-Fi ceases to work. However taking a look at the note 7, I'm actually pretty excited at what Samsung has to offer and this is the first note I'm interested in!
 
It is heavier compared to some of the leaner skins out there.

But the Note7's software is massively improved from the S4. There's much less useless stuff compared to the S4, and the software just looks and performs much better.
 
Least amount of bloat on any Verizon phone I have ever owned by far, and what little bloat is there, can be removed, or disabled.
 
I didn't think there was much bloat until I went into System apps then you see the all the crap on the phone. But I"m coming from a Nexus so everything has more bloat compared to that phone.
 
Tru but in my experience with the nexus 4, I found there to be more bloat (but I guess I have an "apple" mindset).
 
I think Sprint and Sammy formed an allegiance to bloatware us to death. At least more of it can be uninstalled or disabled. Somethings you should be able to, you can't.
 
Yes the phone is very bloated in my opinion, but then I'm coming from a Motorola X.
