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

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
