Except Motorola (now owned by Lenovo and claims closest to default Android) most of the Chinese phones still come with their own bloatware. Xiaomi has many default apps including their own Messaging, file manager, dialer. These come with their own user agreement and privacy policy.

Some of these apps are good to have while others are just bloat.

I believe Lenovo is, but it's been a while since I've actually looked it up.

Samsung too has a tonne of bloatware crap. I bought a phone for 30K (which is a decent amount for a phone IMO) and it was loaded with absolute crap I don't use and can't even remove with adb.
