Please take a look at troubleshooting steps that will address the latency here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-is-my-phone-slowing-down-and-how-can-i-speed-it-up/ Any pre-installed apps are included either for the smooth running of the software, or with the intention of making the set-up process as easy as possible. You can delete any unwanted apps that aren't integral to the software in Settings > Apps > Select the app > Uninstall.
