you should be able to move installed apps to the sd card, and be able to uninstall apps you dont want.
i have always preferred andriod over iOS any day, well mainly because crapple locks everything down and over price its old hardware/features.
when it comes to crapple your basically paying over the tops of samsung hardware thats in a different shell.

I know this is off-topic and is possible to start a fight but blobs don't have binary genders. They're unisex, a guy or a girl could use them just fine with no judgement on the gender of the blobs. I know you probably already know this, in fact after reading your post you mean that the planet earth itself, would be binary gender. Maybe make it say "Planet Earth itself" and say "unisex" because saying binary is getting a bit into tumblr mode.
I know I sound like some douche for saying that but to make up for it i'll be on-topic.
Yeah, but I guess that's the downfall whenever someone lets anyone use their OS to mess around. You're gonna get companys loading their useless shit in it. Like come on if you're gonna add bloat at least add some really small, like 1mb game where it's whack-a-mole or something. Or add something that users will find useful.

Sorry, it's just you know how google made emoji blobs, hey maybe that's why they're blobs! :o
ohh sorry my bad, lets lock our devices down and only allow crapple to load useless shit into the device.
theyre as bad as windows, i mean its recent update when you could unlock a device without using the home button...... CRAPPLE sit there thinking HOW CAN WE ROYALY FUCK YOUR DAY UP TODAY.....
LETS RELEASE AN UPDATE FORCING EVERYONE NOW TO HAVE TO USE THE HOME BUTTON TO UNLOCK.
hey you know what, ALL THOSE POOR SODS WITH BROKEN HOME BUTTONS..... WELL TOUGH SHIT, BUY OUR NEW PRODUCT THEN!

I know that. by "blobs", I meant the whole emoji set, which contains gender-neutral, male and female emoji.
sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

No, I was saying lot's of companies will bloat it, I was just saying at least put some useful bloat in. Also calm down.
I am calm, and bloat? when iOS is full of the same crap apps also, advantage between Andriod and CRAPPLE is that you have more freedom when it comes to Android.
Your a small time developer, just starting out, do you:
A) create your app and release publicly and get feedback etc
B) pay CRAPPLE to put your app on its CRAP store.
Hmmm FREE vs PAID...... FREE vs PAID.
Think me knows which is best, I guess if thats argued then we have a CRAPPLE fanboy, hows you IBONE 8 *cough SAMSUNG S6 cough cough* doing.

I actually hate apple myself, they overprice shit and the fanboys are like kinder-gardeners going "lalalala" when we try to tell them constructive points. I was just saying how when companies edit the firmware and put their bloat in it, they should put useful stuff. I like how android is free, while apple is so limited you can't even make empty space in the launcher. Of course it's great that some companies that bloat android will let you root it, allowing you to uninstall them. Another awesome thing is that android devs can release and test their apps really easy.
I think your main problem was expecting to play games on a $40 phone you won't get more than the basics for that price.
You can get a semi decent hardware for $100 if you look around hard enough but to actually have freedom and hardware to do anything you should be looking in at least the 3gb ram 32gb storage $175 range

I think you're missing the point that at least Android HAS an sd card slot. Not gonna see that on an iPhone..... ever....
Do you know what an update is?
What you do see on an IPHONE is some weird hybrid of a human.... we normal people class as cunts pmsl
iPhone = knowing that this is basically UNIX-based kernel (like MacOS), with a lot of modifications = 500+ dollars because Apple.
Knowing that this society can also easily "bite" the dust if no more "rich people" buys their phones. (understood the joke, hope you did)

Considering all your arguments, you should never ever buy an iSucks from that rotten fruit brand.
It comes back to my mind the idea that not everything that looks awesome on the outside is awesome on the inside.
Sadly most consumers buy things based on how the product looks and not how it works, or what it offers in therms of its technical characteristics. Its always better to get informed before buying anything than having to complain afterwards.
Android is as open as it can be, but being a Linux variant, it's not for everyone to modify or fix. Even lees to use a device as Root/Admin/Super User or whatever you'd like to call it. As that level of access gives you all the freedom you'd imagine but also means that even if you're very tech minded, you might make a mistake at any time that would render the device almost/completely useless.

You can modify the Android Open Source code as much as you want it to fit your pleasures but yeah, better be an experimented programmer to do this.

, Reason: iPhone stuck into my clarification
Quoted from Wikipedia:
Also, quoted from source.android[dot]com:
So then, the android core (its kernel) is based upon the Linux kernel, which is not Unix. The fact that Linux is a derivation of Unix is not the point of discussion here. Remember the acronym GNU.
I want to clarify some things I need to clarify:
I realize I shouldn't have been too quick to blame google for this, but rather the phone manufacturers, cell service carriers and bad app devs.
The phone was a gift and I do appreciate it, since my old one was broken. Also I wouldn't call it a potato, as it retails for $150 I believe (this one was bought at a discount). I didn't think 4GB (it might even be 8GB with 4 usable, but when I plug the phone into my computer, it shows the internal storage as 3.9GB) would be a problem because of that adoptable storage feature, but it was probably cleaved out by LG as a form of planned obsolescence to force people to pay a premium for a phone with the exact same processor and RAM, and the only difference being slightly more internal storage and maybe a few less default Android features carved out of it.
I think part of the problem is that with Android being open-sourced, despite all the positive things about that, one negative is that it allows manufacturers and carriers to do devious things like disabling useful features and locking down the boot loader tighter than most game consoles so you can't re-enable them.
Which brings me to another point: finding exploits to root your phone. Despite someone earlier putting quotations around the word exploit, that is what it is! On my first Android phone, I had to run two benchmark apps simultaneously, and even launch a resource heavy game, anything that would eat up a lot of RAM and CPU cycles and run kingroot on top of all of that to get root. If that's not an exploit, I don't know what is. I would expect to jump through hoops like that when installing hacks on a modern game console, not on what amounts to a pocket-sized personal computer.
I think the Android source license needs to be changed so that any alterations need to have their source published as well, then at least we'd have more success using hardware that we own to its full potential.

You should read the content related to licenses on this link:
source.android[dot]com
And you might understand why are there that many licenses involved on the Android OS.
Android itself is as open as it can be, but most phone manufacturers use their own licenses at will, to "protect" their copyrights on their apps, and that has nothing to do with Android.
In my previous comment I was about to say that I prefer Motorola smartphones, because the don't come with crap-apps installed by default, they provide what they call "Pure Android", and you get to install the apps you need as you see fit. Nothing like Sony, LG, and other brands that include a bunch on crap-apps that you never use and can't uninstall freely, and in the best cases you can only disable them, but that's not a rule.
