PanARMENIAN.Net - Samsung has confirmed that users will be able to remove many of the pre-installed apps that ship with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, according to Digital Spy.

Previous reports hinted that all pre-loaded software could be deleted from the handsets, but the removable apps will vary across regions and network providers.

"Samsung Electronics is committed to providing the best possible mobile experience to customers. As part of this effort, Samsung has allowed users to remove the pre-installed applications on Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge," a Samsung spokesperson told Digital Spy.

"The number of applications that can be removed from devices can vary by regions and mobile carriers."

The news comes as new legislation in Samsung's home country of South Korea outlaws the inclusion of non-removable apps in the territory.
