I tried the Mi 8 Lite, honestly I'm not impressed. It's super cheap, which is really cool, but the OS it comes with is riddled with bloatware... Not sure it's worth it

As opposed to Samsung and Apple? Right...

I'd say Samsung is comparable, but Apple... Isn't the goal of buying an iPhone to have a closed environment? (or was)

Yes, they were BSing. They’re sold with only a basic collection of 1st-party apps. To get one with 3rd-party bloatware requires special provisioning meant for employee work phones, but it’s uncommon to find in the wild.
