Your next Android phone won't have as many Google apps pre-installed

If it has already happened to us with the manufacturers' own custom layers with a good number of apps that we hardly use, we have also counted on those of the operators in an attempt to reinforce their brand, which has finally been more in apps than we could even come to hate when they occupy your space in the internal memory. Although we are in a time where devices have more memory, not so long ago these bloatware apps could take a good amount of memory space.

Samsung itself surprised us when in the Galaxy S6 it announced that the pre-installed apps could be uninstalled If the user wished it that way and now it seems that the same will happen with Google but in a way that apps such as Google Play Games, Google Play Books or Google+ will not even be present when we start the newly purchased smartphone for the first time.

A cleaner Android

Until now a phone manufacturer that would like to include Google apps, among which is the vital Play Store or Gmail, had to meet a series of requirements as it is a version tested by Google. When this was approved, a package of apps is offered that they must install.

So when we have accessed a Samsung or LG phone for the first time we have always seen Google apps installed that, although we were not going to use, they were ready for use.

And as it seems that Google don't want to get in trouble over things like monopoly and other quarrels that can be faced, although from a business point of view it has been a good move, now we will begin to see fewer Google apps that we will have to install ourselves if we wanted to use them, since many of them are closely linked to what which is an android phone.

Speculation on Google+

Many, knowing that Google+ will no longer be included by default on an Android phone, have begun to drop musings about the black future of Google+. Although this has no official confirmation, for now that list of apps that will no longer be on the next phones will be Google Play Games, Google Play Books, Google Play Newsstand and Google+. Some apps that are added to Google Earth and Google Keep as apps that will not be required by Google for that pack.

An interesting measure carried out by Google that has more to do with what can fall from certain regions such as Europe when we learned that it was being investigated for monopoly. Anyway, it should be almost a rule that a smartphone had the least apps by default installed when a user starts it up for the first time, but as I said, these appear as a way to reinforce the brand, be it Samsung, or an operator like Orange.

That brand reinforcement move can be counterproductive Because the user comes to find that app that he is unable to remove from his phone as something negative, and this is related to whether the app is from an operator or from the manufacturer itself. If you already use ROOT to eliminate it, you don't have to think much about the little "hatred" that you may have towards the operator or manufacturer for that app.

In short, a good step taken by Googleand that already in his day we knew his intentions for the future, and that will surely accentuate the use of some apps such as Keep, since although it does not come pre-installed, many will launch for it from the Play Store when they take their first steps with their newly acquired smartphone.
