The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra phone has been sharply criticized for numerous unnecessary apps.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, announced as the company's new and most powerful phone, has been sharply criticized by users and technology experts. Zamin.uz reported on this.

The main complaint is the large number of unnecessary apps pre-installed before the device was released for sale. In-depth reviews by experts from Android Authority revealed that a significant portion of the phone's memory is occupied by apps irrelevant to ordinary users.

International media outlets have widely covered this issue. Specifically, social network apps belonging to Meta, services from Microsoft Corporation, and the Spotify music app are pre-installed by default on the new smartphone.

Together with system files and Google services, these apps occupy more than 40 gigabytes of space on the premium model equipped with 512 gigabytes of memory. Most unfortunately, users cannot uninstall these apps during the initial setup process when turning on the phone for the first time.

This creates inconvenience for users. Furthermore, the smartphone's operating system is overloaded with duplicate apps performing the same tasks.

For example, the device includes two separate app stores, two voice assistant apps, two web browsers, and two cloud storage services. Typically, such practices are used to reduce the price of budget smartphones.

However, for the high-end Galaxy S26 Ultra with a starting price of $1300, this situation is completely incomprehensible and unjustified. Users are dissatisfied with the expensive smartphone's memory being filled with unnecessary apps and are demanding that the company resolve this issue as soon as possible.
