Less touchwiz action or at least STOCK VERSION of ANDROID

Why do so many people want the stock version? A good part about samsung is the software features (yes, NOT BLOATWARE) and the BEST PART about andriod is that android users like is the fact that android is open source, allowing OEMS to play around a bit. If you want the stock version go with nexus or something. I like the fact that each company has its own version of android. Its like a different style and experience but you still have access to the play store and all the basic goodies that come with android + more.

Software wouldn't be the only thing actually.

Mxyzptlk ur an embarrassment to us Apple fans, bcos u sound like an empty tin can without any knowledge or love of technology with empty comments. Come on man, grow up, I know you don't get much attention at home and you get it here, cos some ppl still respond to your comments.

Like really?

What a bunch of crap is this iArticle.
Just because Samsung put 12 bill in R&D, all the iMedia scream as one: "Samsung admit that they are not good in software" or "Samung admit that TouchWiz is not good, and we told you that"
O...M...G....
You are sick iMorons.

26. Chris_Bakke (Posts: 240; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)

I didn't read this as a Pro Apple article, I read it as Samsung admitting it has flaws in its products, and working to get them better. So they can bring us the consumers better and better products.

What "admiting"?
Nothing in the Word is so perfect , that can not be made better.
Even your iPhone, moron.
If Apple annonce 12 bill in R&D, would you read in the iMedia articles that Apple "admitting it has flaws in its products, and working to get them better"

38. Chris_Bakke (Posts: 240; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)

I don't own an iPhone you moron, proud Samsung Galaxy S4 owner here. I am glad Samsung is working to get better. I've taken off a lot of bloatware off my phone to help with the lag I experience from time to time. You need to stop your hatred of all things Apple, seriously you peevish simpleton. And, yes, the word is admitting, not admiting. So next time, check yourself before you wreck yourself, both in spelling and fact checking.

If Apple put 12 bill in R&D will you read such article:
"Apple knows its software needs improvement, half of R&D now focused on that objective"

Or, I bet, the articles in the iMedia will have this title:
"Apple say- even the best can be better- and will prove it with 12 bill in R&D"
And all of you iMorons will worship Apple again. LOL
(see, I don't buy this " proud Samsung Galaxy S4 owner here" , old iTrick)

I am a Samsung fanboy, I love everything Samsung puts on the market. I got my brother a Note 3, my mom a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and my dad a Tab 3 8.0. Our fridge is Samsung, our biggest TV is Samsung. I owned a GS2. I am waiting for the Note 4. I don't like Apple plain and simple. Samsung has flaws, I can admit that. I don't pretend they are perfect, but I can say I am not a angry, ravenous fanboy unlike you. I don't like iFapple fans either.

There now my Profile Pic even shows it, so Na Na Poo Poo, Stick Your Head In Doo Doo

So you mean the Google play edition lol

10. SAYED-EJAZ (Posts: 225; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)

Personally I dont like naked stock android, even thousands of cheap china sets are with stock.
Actually we are paying for touchwiz softwares so R&D is needed for it.
For example : I can throw video or music in my phone to my tv which is not possible in stock.

14. AwesomestMaximuss (Posts: 146; Member since: 09 Jul 2013)

Exactly,,,stock android is light,which is a good and a bad thing,,it puts less pressure on hardware and hence runs smooth but it also lacks a lot of features that touchwiz has..
And touchwiz may not look very good,but neither does stock android..beauty of android is that u can customize most of it without rooting and stuff,,,and tha part u cant customize(menus etc) are better on touchwiz imho.

TouchWiz is THE BEST THING that happen to Android. But you can buy Google Edition.

36. joey_sfb (Posts: 6608; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)

I prefer Touch wiz over stock. I have also test and enable features like smart stay that detect whether i am looking at the screen and prevent it from Dimming or switching the screen off.

Default screen time out could than be set lowest 15 seconds without negatively affecting by unwanted screen off after timeout. This help conserve battery life because we don't have to always remember to press the power button to switch off the screen.

Htc is actually nothing infront of samsung.
Their ultrapixel was a Blunder.

12. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)

Sense > Touch Wiz
Super LCD > Amoled
HTC hardware > Samsuck hardware

So, yes, HTC has quite a bit on Sammy.

13. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)

Sense < TouchWiz
Super LCD < AMOLED
HTC's Hardware < Samsung's hardware

There you go. All better now.

20. Jobayer (Posts: 167; Member since: 22 Feb 2013)

Sense < TouchWiz
AMOLED < Super LCD < AMOLED plus
HTC's Hardware < Samsung's hardware

You stand corrected :D

29. Gemmol (Posts: 792; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)

I think its both of yall opinions for the first one, the second one I would choose real colors over amoled, and number 3 come on the htc one look and feel better then galaxy phone or note
