The main manufacturers of Android terminals usually add a layer of personalization on their devices. An interface with custom icons, animations and applications that are usually your own and that are not included in a Stock or Pure Android interface. Few are the devices that have Pure Android. That is, the interface of the Google operating system without any additions, applications or customization. Although they do not offer as many functions as EMUI, Color OS or One UI, for example, it does allow for greater fluidity in the system (in most cases) and adds other functions that we cannot find in the customization layers. Do you want to know what they are? Here we tell you 5 things that you can do with Pure Android and not with an added interface.
Install the applications you want
One of the hallmarks of Android Puro is that the Stock interface does not have pre-installed applications, which allows us to install our preferred app without having to have two applications with a similar use on the same smartphone, since on many occasions, the Layers of customization from the manufacturers do not allow you to uninstall these applications. However, we can do it in Android Stock.
For example, if you use an email manager other than Gmail, you can delete Gmail as normal and install the one that suits you best. Also set it as default. On the other hand, in a customization layer you will hardly be able to uninstall the mail manager that the manufacturer has added.
More updates, and faster too
The first beta of Android 11 is now available on Google mobiles.
With pure Android you can install the latest software updates. Most terminals that include a version of Android without customization on their devices are under Android One, a program managed by Google that allows you to update the latest version more quickly, since the updates are made by Google, and not by the manufacturer. Therefore, if a new version of Android hits the market, it could take only a few weeks for your terminal to update to this latest version, while a manufacturer with a customization layer on their device could take a few more months.
Pure Android does not always guarantee fast updates, but it does guarantee that they are fulfilled in most cases. Of course, the Pixels are the Android phones that update the fastest, since they are 'Made by Google' devices. It is followed by Nokia smartphones, which have Android One and other manufacturers with mobiles that also include this special edition of Android.
You test Android versions before anyone else
With Android Pure, you not only update faster, you can also test versions before anyone else. Google launches the betas of its next versions of Android on the Pixel terminals. After a few months, the test phases begin to reach the mobiles of manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus or Xiaomi. For example, Android 11 has already started with its previous version, and it is only available on Google Pixels; Pure Android phones.
Integration with the Google Assistant
Android One mobiles have greater integration with the Google Assistant and the company's feed. They have the possibility of summoning the Google Assistant through voice commands, with the home button or through system gestures. In addition, in many of the apps that are in Android Stock this assistant is also integrated, since practically all are from Google.
Pure Android also has a feed on the side where the latest news of your interest and articles related to the last thing you have searched on Google are displayed.
Browse more smoothly without the need for high-end processors
Another detail that Android Puro offers is its extreme fluidity. Everything is very well optimized and there are hardly any cuts in the animations or transitions. Also, it doesn't matter if the processor is mid-range or high-end, everything will go smoothly. An example; The Pixel 3a has a mid-range Qualcomm processor, but it moves just as well as the Pixel 3, which has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip that is more powerful.
