I have just received a Samsung galaxy fold5 through the post, however I imagine it's full of bloatware and I'm inexperienced with this type of device. What is the first things that you would do to secure it? Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

Edit: I mean to be more privacy focused

No when I've to deal with people like you. Corporation makes shit to sell and people like you buy it thinking its some sort of weird flex. Eventually leading to waste and climate change. Its not your fault, some people are not that bright so its okay. Whatever makes you happy.

If that's what you need, go for it. Maybe try to be less of a fucking asshole to random people on the internet. What's wrong with you?
