I Bought a New Mobile Phone Experience Is .crazy

I bough a top of the line Android phone. I spent 800 bucks on HW and I am forced to accept a license agreement allowing Google, manufacturer and my network company (what ever will be as nor Google nor manufacturer know at this point which network I am connecting) to install whatever SW they wish without asking......seriously. it's that or return the phone.

I started the installation and immediately I delete any Meta and Google c..p I saw and could uninstall. All AI c..p go with its head ! All wall papers go to the toilet !! all taboola SW got to the toilet !!! As soon as I connected to network the phone starts installing applications furiously! I mean, never seen anything like this. CandyCrush and all sorts of unrequested c..p. No questions, no permissions. I uninstalled them equally furiously but eventually I loose. The bot is faster than my fingers. I give up. I did a factory reset and throw the phone to the box for return. I finally decide to give it a second try, installing first NetGuard (what a blessing). I do a bit of research and I block all outgoing connections. Uninstalling, disabling every single app that tries to reach the network. It took me a couple of days, but I am starting to be tempted to install my SIM and finalize my transition to the new phone.

I do not mention the brand because I presume the rest of the brands are equally crappy with bloatware.
