A Reddit user recently flagged a frustrating issue with their brand-new Galaxy S25. Samsung may not be to blame for Galaxy S25 downloading random appsA recent Reddit thread highlighted the issue after a Verizon customer purchased a brand-new Galaxy S25. If you want the cleanest Samsung software experience, buying an unlocked Galaxy phone remains the safest option.
