I have just received a Samsung galaxy fold5 through the post, however I imagine it’s full of bloatware and I’m inexperienced with this type of device. What is the first things that you would do to secure it? Thank you 😊

Edit: I mean to be more privacy focused

Google play services constantly send information to google, the only functional and degoogled rom Ive found is Grapheneos.

Samsung locks their bootloader, so flashing is neigh impossible on them as of late.

Good to know, although I’m unsure how a custom boot would handle the folding display

The real downside of brave is the cryptocrap. It is still optional. However the fact that it support the chromium monopoly is also a bad point.
