i don't understand why people like Stock Android so much?

why is it such a big deal? stock experience is kind of boring. take out all the fun stuff and give you only the basic's. Basic phone with a heavy price tag..
OLED screen is cheap aswell.
Don't you think Google is getting abit greedy now?

this is comparing Pixel 2 XL to Note 8 or s8+

Re: i don't understand why people like Stock Android so much?

Because some of the "fun stuff" you mention is just crap filling your phone that you don't want and can't remove

Starting with a stock phone, you can add only the stuff you actually want

Re: i don't understand why people like Stock Android so much?

Many people just don't like all the extra bloat that some phone makers add so like the stock version as its simpler.

Why start a thread and when asked a question just link to a thread on another forum??

Well to me stock Android Google Pixel 2 XL is over-rated and over-priced.
only good thing about the Pixel is camera and fast updates, apart from that it's BS.

if i really wanted stock android then i will go with OnePlus 5T instead of Pixel.
even Motorola Moto G5 has stock android.

P.S. Oneplus 5T and Moto 5 have the old design of stock android on the Home screen otherwise its same thing.

Re: i don't understand why people like Stock Android so much?

And your point is?? There are lots of devices with stock android so it's not like you are being forced to purchase the Pixel.

One plus phones aren't really stock android. It's a custom interface called oxygen I am sure.

Re: i don't understand why people like Stock Android so much?

Yet again linking to YouTube instead of posting your own actual opinions.

Changed your mind about Oxygen OS being the same as stock android as well?
