Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are highly anticipated, the phones are apparently being released with a stripped back manufacturer skin that has excited even non-Samsung fans. One big issue with Samsung phones has been the inclusion of a large amount of pre-installed software, and while Android itself allows you to disable or hide apps, Samsung’s implementation hasn’t always allowed for it – but this time around you can disable any app installed on the phone.
While this report from XDA forum member Jeshter2000 is based on pre-release Galaxy S6 software, it’s a good sign that you can disable the apps – including the three pre-installed Microsoft apps.
We’ll be getting another look at the Galaxy S6 at the Australian launch event on the 30th of March in Sydney, if you have questions, we’d like to get you answers – post them in the comments and we’ll do our best.
