➤ How to delete system apps on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and improve performance 🕹

If your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is getting sluggish or behaving strangely, there are a plethora of solutions to this problem. You can factory reset the phone and restore it to its original state, or you can perform an operation called “debloating”, delete the pre-installed system apps.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE specifications

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (SM-G780F) was launched in September 2020, as a cheaper variant of the Galaxy S20. The S20 FE is equipped with a 6,5 "Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, Android 10 and OneUI 2.5 (soon One UI 3.0), Exynos 990 chipset (octa-core CPU and Mali GPU -G77 MP11), 128/256 GB of internal memory, 6/8 GB of RAM, triple cameras on the back, a 32 MP front camera capable of 4K video recording and a non-removable 4500 mAh battery.

If you have purchased one of these devices for yourself, you may have noticed that there are many applications pre-installed on the phone. Even if the phone is brand new and it is the first time it is turned on, you will discover many applications already present on the phone. Samsung likes to include a number of its own applications that a user may not need. Additionally, Samsung collaborates with other companies and pre-install their apps, such as Microsoft's Office applications.

There is nothing wrong with having these applications. Most of them are useful and many users find them useful many times over. However, there are some downsides. Having so many applications uses a lot of internal memory. It might not seem like much at first, but once you use your phone and fill the internal storage with photos and other data, that space those apps take up will become important. Also, Android is known to slow down after a while and one of the reasons is the huge number of applications.
