The number of pre-installed applications in a device has often been a concern of buyers, especially since it is not always possible to uninstall them. Samsung was tipped to significantly reduce the number of these on its Galaxy S6 and S6 edge in its simplification process and lightness of his system.

After checking yet, we realize that the Samsung Galaxy S5 has 41 applications under Lollipop in his first start (see our earlier screenshots), while his successor for his part 46. We offer you a list of what is thus find on your Samsung Galaxy S6 when unpacking as well as developments in their management.
Samsung Apps
The manufacturer has always been famous for integrating many applications, even to duplicate the service Google. In the Galaxy S6 is thus found in the order they appear in the menu:
- Phone
- Contacts
- Messages
- Internet
- Gallery
- Camera
- Music
- Video
- Calculator
- Clock
- Note
- My files
- Recorder
- S Calendar
- S Health
- S Voice
- Galaxy Apps
- Smart Manager
- Settings
Samsung added the Smart Manager application for managing memory used, the battery or the safety of the device, while the ChatON application has disappeared, following its closure. Infrared remote control application is no longer developed by Samsung and therefore find further below.

Google Apps
As of Usually, Google is a big part of the preinstalled apps on an Android device. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is no exception to the rule. Here are the ones we find:
- YouTube
- Google Play Store
- Chrome
- Maps
- Voice Search
- Gmail
- Google +
- Google Play Music
- Google Play Movies
- Google Play Books
- Google Play Kiosks
- Google Play Games
- Drive
- Photos
- Hangouts
- Google Settings
No changes at this level between the Galaxy S6 and its predecessor, then. There are 17 Google applications in both cases. People who do not have a Google account so use a good cleaning to do in their application menu.
Microsoft Applications
This is the main novelty in embedded applications in the device. While it is generally found in Dropbox Samsung devices now include, among others, OneDrive application. If you do not know the exact terms of the agreement between Microsoft and Samsung, there is a safe bet that the presence of these applications is related to the abandonment of legal proceedings between the two companies regarding charges . related to the use of Android
We thus find:
One might be surprised not to find Microsoft Office in the list of applications, in favor of a third-party application which is found below.
Third Party Applications
Some third-party applications are also embedded in the Galaxy S6, in addition to the two big players such as Google and Microsoft. We find, for example, three applications of social networks, many users would probably installed anyway.
- Facebook Messenger
- Hancom Office 2014
- Peel Smart Remote
The first 4 of the list are therefore genuine additions by the previous model. So there is a safe bet that Facebook, which now holds, exchanged their presence against a nice sum. Regarding the other two, Hancom replace Polaris Office that was found on the Galaxy S5, while Peel Smart Remote replaces infrared remote control application from Samsung.
Application Management on Samsung Galaxy S6
Finally, the number of pre-installed applications on a device has little impact if you can uninstall them, or at least hide them entirely from the menu. And it is at the level of management applications that Samsung abruptly changes the habits of its users. It is no longer possible effect of “mask” of menu applications, or to sort them alphabetically
Of course, it remains possible to “turn off” an application, which allows not to see on the menu, but it means that it is possible to use if needed. As a concrete example: You want to open PDF files with an application, but do not want taking up space in your menu with Adobe Reader (or any other application PDF). In the Galaxy S5, it was possible to completely hide the application menu, but it remains functional when pressed on a PDF file to open it. Now, the only choice will be to “turn off” the application and it no longer appears in the menu, making it so that it is more functional when it is needed.
It is clear that the removal of this feature will not impact the majority of users, and those who come from an iPhone were already used to this, but it is a pity to see that Samsung offered this choice and now returned back.

Operator Applications
We chose to rule by the applications installed by operators, because on one hand, they are more or less likely following you will buy your device, and secondly because we have not had access to models of all operators ..
Usually, some operators, usually regional, boarded fewer applications than national operators. Fortunately, in all cases these can be disabled to not appear.
More applications, but more clarity
In conclusion, we can say that if Samsung n has not reduced the number of applications preinstalled in its Galaxy S6, on the contrary, it seems contrary when first starting the phone. Using folders that classify Google or Microsoft applications are used to display the grid software on two pages instead of three.
However, it may surprise some choices, such as the Facebook to let in the main menu instead of integrating it into the “Social” folder. The social networking giant would perhaps not like the loss of visibility.
