I removed the bloatware my carrier hid on my phone and got 5.8GB of storage back

When you buy a smartphone, you should own it. It's a basic principle, but one that phone brands and cellular carriers rarely follow in practice. Buy an Android phone, and it's usually loaded with pre-installed Google apps by default. Pick up a model from another Android brand, like Samsung or Motorola, and you'll have your manufacturer's default apps pre-installed alongside the Google apps. Use a carrier-locked Android phone from AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon, and bloatware is coming your way from every direction.
