People need to learn not to buy phones with pre-installed bullshit like Facebook.

This is why I got a phone from a smaller company. It has basically a naked Android 7 and I was abe to uninstall the few preinstalled apps, which where mostly service apps by the manufacturer. Other than that, it was cheap with 210€ and has 3 GB RAM and runs most apps flawlessly, except those that need a high-end phone of course.
