device profiles
- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Samsung), so it is an OEM preinstall, and that single certificate is consistent across all 12 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 40 permissions: 12 runtime (user-granted), 10 signature or system-level, 6 install-time and 12 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 0.0 MB to 84.9 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Reported as an updated system app on 7 of 12 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (40)
