However, it’s the OS where it tends to fall short for some users. The Funtouch (Global) and Origin OS 3 (China) come with a slew of preinstalled apps, most of which you would never interact with. These apps not only consume unnecessary storage space, but some of them tend to constantly run in the background, thereby exhausting system resources and leading to battery drain as well. To make matter worse, these are installed as system apps and hence you wouldn’t be able to remove them the native way. And that’s not it.
