Samsung’s biggest challenge now is Google software, not Apple hardware

> Can anyone speak to success or usefulness of any of this Samsung software?

I'm one of those people who typically roots their phones and deletes all the carrier crap. My Samsung Tab S 8.4 came with so much crap that I literally spent an entire day uninstalling and disabling apps that it came with and I removed almost 50% of everything installed.

However, I recently got a Samsung S7 and I was really surprised that I actually liked a lot of the built in software. S Health is a really good health app and, in my opinion, better than Google fit.

I just wish Samsung would keep choice available -- it's really hard to use Google now/Assistant on Samsung phones to their full extent and their own S Voice isn't very good.

I went Samsung s2, s3, 3 different nexus phones, back with s7 edge now.

I don't find there is much bloatware now. And they had good multi-window support, long before nougat update to s7.
