Samsung Galaxy S6 requires users to install the Microsoft suite … – Macity (Blog)

Microsoft Office Suite compulsory for all owners of Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge; the manufacturer begins to act on your partnership with Microsoft, installing without consent Word, OneNote, Excel and Poer Point

Buyers of Android smartphones often complain about interference, much too invasive to some manufacturers, who insist on pre-install applications and games on their terminals, leaving scope for the autonomy of that user. In this climate, then, suddenly thunders the decision of Samsung, which actually install on their own terminals belonging to the Galaxy brand S6, without users’ consent, the entire suite of Microsoft Office.

As reported by drafting MyCe, Samsung has given over the announced partnership with Microsoft, which provided just installing native Word, OneNote, Excel, and PowerPoint on all terminals of the multinational South Korean. The procedure began with a forced upgrade to Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, that among the “new”, also led the Office suite on the home page of the device. Users, in short, had no say in the matter and after the upgrade were left with the four applications pre-installed. Even more serious, according to some users angry, that update information officers riportassero nothing about installing applications indicted, although some clues could already be caught by the size of the upgrade, over 200 MB.

It ‘clear that with a few taps, or other little ingenuity, you can completely remove these applications from the library of their app, but what we do not like is the attitude of the producer, who apparently believes it can “enter” undisturbed terminals purchased by its customers, without even knocking on their door. In many await official statements by Samsung, if not excuse or second thoughts.
