To be fair, most skinned Android variants are really horrible. My whole immediate family uses Android phones, but half the time I just don't know how to quickly tell them where an option is because I've used CyanogenMod/LineageOS on all my phones, and they're using Samsung's take on Android, which is shockingly different. Worse yet, they often are on much older Android versions than me which results in even more differences. Settings categories having different names is the biggest problem. At least on some newer Android versions there's a search in the settings so you don't have to guess where stuff is as much.
- Razengan 7y agoYeah it's mostly Samsung but also Oppo and Huawei, that basically just seem to do a half-baked copy of Apple with their own peculiar weirdness thrown in to make it worse.
- microcolonel 7y agoAs a counterpoint, I think OnePlus's "Oxygen" shell is often quicker and better than the already spectacular default Android experience.
- saagarjha 7y agoOnePlus’s customizations tend to be much lighter and more thoughtful.
- sumanthvepa 7y agoThat's the primary reason that I use Pixel devices. I want the stock Android experience and updates to the OS. I don't get those with other phones.
