14 DAY TRIAL // With less than a day left until Microsoft's launch event, rumors on some devices that the Redmond-based company plans to unveil later today continue to emerge.
We know just about everything there is to know about Microsoft's upcoming flagship smartphones, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, but here is something courtesy of WMPU.
It appears that Microsoft and King have inked a deal that will make one of the most popular mobile games, Candy Crush Saga, available to Lumia 950/Lumia 950 XL right out of the box.
According to a source familiar with Microsoft's plans, both Windows 10 Mobile devices will come preloaded with Candy Crush Saga.
However, not all variants of the flagship smartphones will have the game pre-installed, but the international version will come with Candy Crush Saga included.

The same source claims that the game can't be uninstalled even if you want to get rid of it. There will probably be some other ways that will allow someone to delete Candy Crush Saga from their Windows 10 Mobile handset, but it won't be an easy method.
Keep in mind that this is just an unconfirmed rumor, so Microsoft might not be so keen on making Lumia 950/Lumia 950 XL owners put up with an application/game that can't be uninstalled.
Still, if this proves to be accurate, it's a bit weird for Microsoft to force its customers to keep a third-party app on their devices, which they might not need at all.
Android and iOS do that frequently, but Windows Phone was kind of a bloatware-free OS. Let's hope that even if both Windows 10 Mobile devices come preloaded with Candy Crush Saga, Microsoft will at least allow users to remove it at any time.
What do you think about Microsoft's possible decision to make a third-party app uninstallable on its Windows 10 Mobile operating system? Let us know in the comments section.
