    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.

          As a reminder, this is the comment you replied to:

          Phone makers weren’t allowed to include other app stores by default

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