Bloated Android systems exist for a reason!

Software Android Thoughts

It occured to me why these ugly bloated customised Android systems exist! Previously, I thought why oh why would you just waste your company’s resources by developing your custom Android version?

Here I mean Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and others, mostly Chinese companies.

I think I’ve got it. They want us to get used to their version of the system, so we would just buy their smartphones, as we already used to them.

To some degree it’s the same for me, as I’ve been buying only the Google-branded smartphones, as to my liking all the others are just shit. Well, and iPhones. I keep buying iPhones, because it’s stays mostly the same, keeping the UX consistent, and I’m buying that.
