Samsung usually offers tons of bloatware on Galaxy devices, whether they belong to the flagship, mid-range, or even affordable series, which undoubtedly creates a negative user experience and pushes users to create Samsung accounts.
More recently, Samsung’s new Galaxy smartphones, especially from the mid-range lineup, are getting overloaded with unnecessary third-party applications and pressure to create Samsung accounts, which creates a kind of inconvenience and makes the users’ experience worse.
Samsung has not made the Galaxy AI features available to mid-range Galaxy devices that supposedly require a Samsung account. The giants are still pushing users to create accounts despite the lack of clear benefits. On these smartphones, a Google account is just enough for the essential functionalities, for instance, the Play Store and basic security.
It appears that the Korean giants are playing unfairly as they push their security features on mid-range phones. Samsung pre-installs applications like McAfee antivirus, which is unnecessary as Google Play Protect already provides security. Samsung appears to be bullying or pressuring users to convince them that they need a Samsung account for the basic security features they already have.
The reports are also revealing that there are enough dialogues while setting up the new Galaxy device to recommend third-party apps to users. This is all because Samsung certainly collects a lot of advertising money. Samsung sells the new dialogs as a way to get suitable applications recommended.
Samsung organizes apps with “aggressive advertising” such as Temu and Candy Crush, probably due to ad revenue deals, although these pre-installed applications are not necessarily the ones users are looking for.
