I recently switched from iOS to a Galaxy Note 8, and the sheer amount of garbage on the phone at setup is astounding.

I try to comfort myself by believing that sponsored app deals help keep device costs down, but it doesn't really work. I get that a few core apps (e.g. device-maker registration) are going to be permanent, but the deals for random unremovable crap like the NFL app are just insulting.
