How Ads and Bloatware affected in Samsung Phones

In Samsung phones, when it comes to Ads they usually push ads about their services and promotion from some of their services.

They do some clever tricks on the initial setup for people to unknowingly agree to all of these. If we properly set up the phone, disable some of the apps, promotions from apps or uninstall the applications through ADB can easily improve your user experience.
