  On my Samsung (Galaxy A51, Android 13) phone, Settings -> Apps, only
gives a list, no count.

  The only number I can get is from the Play Store app. That says "Apps
(116)" and seems to include some Samsung [1] apps, but probably does not
include system apps. I don't know if it includes apps installed from
their APK.

[1] Strange, because Samsung has its 'Galaxy Store' which installs/
updates Samsung apps.
