If you want more than a paltry 16GiB of internal storage you'll be paying out the nose for it, and with no microSD card slot you cant buy a large and cheap storage for your photos and music. * You're being gouged for internal storage. If you want cheap and near-stock you have to look at Motorola. Nexus phones have been historically cheap but this isn't really the case anymore. * (This could be a pro) You likely cant walk into your carrier's store and buy one which means you have to buy it directly from Google and without an upgrade 'subsidy'. * Good luck finding a case that offers non-trivial protection. However, Google's case completely fixes this problem. It's completely ridiculous that the phone doesn't sit naturally on a flat table. Here are a few cons as someone else who has one.
One perfect example that is still relevant to this day is the multi-window option that I use daily on my Edge Plus, which would not be possible on a Nexus device (just yet). So there were always some trade-offs.Ħ.) Even without getting into third party launchers, etc that can completely ape stock android in looks - Samsung has finally included proper theming support for their devices - so even a novice user can download a "Material Dark / Material Light" theme. They were the first to have quick access toggles in the notification bar, lock screen notifications, etc. They are increasingly following Material design guidelines.ģ.) Depending on the carrier variant (and this could be killer), Samsung bundle apps are not as critical anymore and they definitely do not cause weird breakages when disabled.Ĥ.) Having used both a Nexus 6P (considered the cream of the crop when it comes to stock Android experience) and there is very little performance difference between the two.ĥ.) Samsung (and other OEMs) have always been ahead of the curve of stock android when it comes to features that were co-opted into later versions on Android.
Just curious, when was the last time you used a Samsung device ?Ī couple of points as I used to share your opinion, but I recently purchase a Edge Plus which changed my views (which while not as extreme were aligned with yours.ġ.) For the most part, I do prefer stock android in terms of aesthetics and some key apps (dialer, etc).Ģ.) Samsung has really toned down their over the top "colourful" aesthetic on phones.
