The new Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones will go on sale next month, both handsets come with a new Samsung TouchWiz U which is more streamlined than previous versions.
Now it would appear that some of the bloatware and pre-installed apps can be removed from the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
According to the guys over at the XDA, a number of pre-installed apps can be removed from the handsets, these include Microsoft apps like Skype and OneDrive, plus Google apps like YouTube, Google+ and Gmail.
On top of that you can also remove some of Samsung’s own apps from the handsets, this includes apps like Samsung’s S Health and S Voice.
This is a change from Samsung handsets in the past, where you have been unable to remove certain apps that maybe you did not use or did not want on your handsets.
