Yeah how’s Android 14 working for everyone that’s gotten it so far? Haven’t heard anything bad so far…

Pixels are stock Android… Samsung,One Plus so forth have their own software on top of Android so Pixels are stick Android and have their own custom chips on the hardware side and their hardware will be even more customized over the next year or so they are the iPhone of Android. One UI is just extra software thrown on top of Android that you have to update and Apps that can not be removed so forth it’s just more things to maintain. It’s Not the pure Android experience it’s just extra bloat that’s installed on the device by the manufacturer just as Oxgeyn so forth. If folks like it great but the pure Android experience is with a Pixel if you want all the other 3rd party things then that’s fine stay with Samsung. But you can never compare the two it’s totally different experiences…

Right now Samsung makes the chip but Google controls the design and software. Samsung gets their chips like most from other hardware manufacturers. Aliso Google will be moving away from Samsung designing their chips in the next year or so most likely the Pixel 10 so it’s a temporary thing. Also overall it’s how Google does their software compared to others so they will have the software side covered but also they will have their own custom hardware basically like the iPhone of Android.

Yeah tried of Samsung and others that put their software on top of Android just another reason out of many I’m going to the real Android device the Pixel 8 Pro…
