Hello,
I have recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime, simply put it is a re-branded J3 pre-paid phone from AT&T. I purchased this device for it's immense value. I paid $84.79 after tax etc. where as J3 w/ the same specs runs $137.78 after tax etc. meaning that this device allows you to save exactly $52.99, so you can see the obvious appeal. The device is fast and snappy, and is a slightly better device than the Iphone 5s if you want some comparison on the Apple side (Ewww Apple Lol xD) so the value of this device is outstanding; however there is some downside...bloatware, I was able to disable most of it and save some small amounts of space and remove the icons from being visible in the launcher, but they are still there. This device has 16GB of internal flash, w/ a little over 10GB available out of the box. According to the storage monitor the Android system v6.0.1M is taking up 5.2GB, and most near stock devices running Marshmallow take a little over 3GB..leading me to believe that the bloatware on the device..although hidden and disabled is still taking up near 2GB of space, and I have uninstalled all the ones that I can..and the only way that I know of to 100% remove the bloat is to root the device and forcefully uninstall the bloatware. There are also some small tweaks that I like to do to my rooted devices, but the only problem is that I can't find any information on how to go about rooting this device. What little I did find seemed unreliable and not worth the risk, if anyone knows how I can go about rooting this device it would help alot. Thx in advance, have a wonderful day
