It's no secret that Samsung scaled back on bloatware (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/01/samsung-galaxy-s6-microsoft-app-bundle/) with the Galaxy S6 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/01/meet-samsungs-galaxy-s-6-and-galaxy-s-6-edge/), reducing the clutter and hopefully giving you a leaner, meaner smartphone. However, there's one more treat in store: you can cull many of the apps that are included, too. XDA forum member Jeshter2000 has noticed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59577308&postcount=58) that a pre-release Galaxy S6 edge lets him disable or uninstall many of the preloaded programs, including some of those from Google and Samsung. If you'd rather ditch S Voice entirely and rely solely on Google's (frankly superior) native voice commands, you can. So long as this carries through to the GS6 you buy in stores, it'll represent a big change of heart for Samsung -- the company is notorious for bundling redundant, non-removable apps (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/23/shocker-nobody-uses-samsung-bloatware/), but it's now determined to give you much more control.
