- paulgb 11y agoSony's experience (at least the Xperia Z3) is far from vanilla and not in a good way. They replace pretty much every app and UI component with an inferior in-house version, and add a bunch of unremovable apps to try to sell you Sony stuff. I hear the Z5 is better though so hopefully they're getting the message.
- dang 11y agoBoy do you have that right. I love how small that phone is and the hardware is good in general, but everything they've done with the software is cringeworthy. What are the options for wiping it completely?
- danmaz74 11y agoIs Sony really so vanilla? I'm going to buy a new phone soon, and Sony looked good, I'm mostly worried about it not being vanilla enough :)
- dagw 11y agoNot really at the moment (although not as bad as Samsung). They are however moving more and more towards vanilla. They've just released a limited test release of a basically vanilla install for the xperia Z3 and if rumors are to believed then the new Z5 will be much more vanilla than any previous release
- totalrobe 11y agoNah, get a Motorola. Stock Android plus some notification enhancements you will actually use.
- talideon 11y agoYup! And you can uninstall a good chunk of the Motorola-specific apps too. Motorola pretty much do the right thing as far as Android enhancements go.
