Google Experience phones: What's the big deal and are they worth it?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition and HTC One Google Edition are on their way. We now have more than one device coming that will run Android in its native form, with no OEM changes in sight. No Sense, no Touchwiz, for better or worse. What does this mean? Should one of them be your next device? These are questions that have been asked by many, but don't have a definitive answer. The discussion has been happening in the forums, though, with many members weighing in on the issues.
New Forum Moderator Jennifer Stough had this to say, which probably echoes what a lot of us are thinking:
Solid points for sure, and definitely something to consider. What about those features though? Are they worth losing just to get superior hardware compared to the Nexus 4? For some, it boils down to just that, the hardware. I'll let forum member thebizz explain it:
What do you guys think? We want these devices to do well enough to justify doing them again, but also know that they aren't for everyone. Jump into the discussion and let us know how you feel about them.
