Does the Amazon store, Galaxy Store, AppGallery, Mi GetApps, and AOPPO app market not exist?

Are those all on the phone by default?

Edit: I didn’t ask if some of them are installed by default, I asked if ALL of them are installed by default.

I can’t speak for the others, but the Samsung Galaxy Store does come pre-installed. However, Google paid Samsung for the Play Store to be the default action for app installs. So you get both stores and can pick which one you want.

That’s just two options from two big players who cooperate, and only on some devices.

The Samsung galaxy store comes pre-installed on Samsung phones, I haven’t heard of it being pre-installed on non-samsung phones.

They are on their perspective devices. ie: Galaxy Store on Samsung, Mi store on Xiaomi, etc.

But they’re only default on their respective devices right?

Yes, depending on where you buy them from. My Samsung came with Galaxy store by default.

Amazon store and Galaxy store are absolutely installed by default on many devices.

So what you’re saying is that two of them are installed by default on some phones, but not all of them? Because the comment they replied to was talking about app stores being installed by default, so I’m asking if all those app stores are all installed by default. Because it seems like only some of them sometimes get installed by default on some phones.

Mi app store is, and on Chinese models is the only one.

The jury settled on the relevant geographic market being “worldwide excluding China”.
