The OnePlus 8T, the highly anticipated flagship smartphone is now official. It packs in some great and powerful features and specs and looks refreshing with a slimmer, more modern design. But what about the software? The OnePlus 8T will run OxygenOS 11 and will be the first non-Pixel device to run Android 11. But what about the bloatware?
Also take a look at:
the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus Nord came with Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger pre-installed. Neowin now reports that that will not be the case with the OnePlus 8T. Previously, you could uninstall these apps, but their services could only be disabled, prompting the company to receive a backlash from the OnePlus user community.
However, the Facebook app and services will not come pre-installed on the OnePlus 8T, leaving the only pre-installed third-party app to be Netflix, and this is to help with HDR video playback.
We have no information on whether this change will be permanent, but for some, it is a welcome change. What is your opinion on bloatware applications and do you consider social media applications to be bloatware? Tell us in the comments!
