What is so much better about a phone using a google OS? Is it much faster? /androidnewb :p

- guaranteed support for at least 2-3 android version
- fast updates, no waiting around for 6+ months to receive the latest version
- not bloated (however, not as many useful features)
- for many people, a nicer UI, nicer apps

Doubt there will be a huge difference in real world performance. Battery life might be a bit better, hard to say for now.......

Ah, well either way this is great news for AOSP developers, maybe they'll get that camera working perfectly now, as well as other known bugs :p

Yup, very good news, means you can finally run Cm etc. without encountering niggles/bugs (at least not as many), quick updates through the xda community etc.


Indeed :p

the main two things are:

  • You'll get future software updates quickly and reliably
  • The way it works is as Google intended and it looks rather smart (but you might not think so though and you do lose Samsung's custom tweaks)

That's it - lastest updates fast if that's your thing.

Great that you can try it as bug free as poss on the S4.

All in all, pretty damn sweet. I might have to get one now.

Free Pixel for everybody there? Jammy buggers, that's like double the cost of the actual ticket.

Haha I know right! :p
 
I think the bigger benefit is with the roms that can be created with a mix of samsung stuff with stock android that will make this awesome!

Personally can't see that happening i.e. with the nexus one and desire, galaxy s 1 and nexus s, you couldn't do that, either had to use stock android or a sense/touchwiz rom

Both completely different frameworks.


Could be completely wrong :p
 
Google+ is looking a lot better since I last looked at it (Which - admittedly - was about two years ago :p).

Is there any threat to Facebook here? Could Google+ explode in popularity?

Certainly looks like Google are still putting a lot of effort into it.
