Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with many pre-installed apps. You cannot uninstall them as long as you keep the stock firmware on your Galaxy S5. The apps that you have downloaded from the Google Play Store can be uninstalled any time you want and these apps are called third party apps.
When you perform a factory reset in your Galaxy S5, all the third-party apps will be removed from your phone. So before doing a factory reset, you can backup apps data on Samsung Galaxy S5. One thing you should remember that ‘backup apps’ means backing up the apps data, not the third-party apps. Therefore, It’s best to transfer all your Apps and files to your MicroSD card.
