[Electronics-Talk] refining cell phone question

[Christopher Chaltain]

I think what they meant is that Samsung doesn't do much to the standard 
Android interface to get in the way of accessibility. I think they're 
implying that with the Galaxy phones from Samsung, you're getting pretty 
much a stock Android experience. Some people would say that you aren't 
getting a lot of bloatware on the Galaxy phones.

I don't have a Samsung phone myself, so I'm hesitant to say anything, 
but this is not my understanding of Samsung phones. My understanding is 
that Samsung adds quite a bit of software to and on top of the standard 
Android operating system. Fortunately, Samsung does seem to be committed 
to accessibility, so these changes and this additional software tends to 
be accessible. For example, you don't get Talk Back with the high end 
Galaxy phones. Instead you get Voice Assistant, which is Samsung's 
screen reader based on Talk Back. You can still install Talk Back from 
the Google Play Store, so you get two screen reading Some people call 
this bloatware, but there are some decent applications put out by 
Samsung.options.
