Added with the stated aim to extend the core functionality of the Android system and improve the user experience, package applications preinstalled OEM devices has another role less visible - that additional source of income after sales generated by including and other less useful applications provided by third parties, with their own services available for a fee.
Troubles arise when the ratio of really useful applications and additional applications bundle referenced in popular terms titled bloatware, get to meet more the companies desire to make profits rather than the needs and expectations of users.
It is not clear what the package contains applications preinstalled on the Samsung Galaxy series phones S7 and S7 Galaxy Edge, but reports coming from some buyers just entering into possession of a Galaxy S7 it's a concern. According to them, up to 8GB internal memory of the device is occupied fresh out of the box with pre-installed system apps from Samsung, accounting for a quarter of total mobile phone memory (32GB version). If rumors circulated before the official launch gave understandable that Samsung would abandon a part of preinstalled applications, the finished product seems to prove the opposite, the Galaxy S7 having even more internal memory occupied by preinstalled apps than the Galaxy S6.
Fortunately, S7 Galaxy phones have microSD slot to supplement the storage capacity. Unfortunately, Samsung chose to not support feature introduced by Google in Soraga Adoptable Marshmallow version of the Android platform, which would have allowed use of the microSD card as internal memory for direct installation of Android applications.
