By Gizbot Bureau

Even though Android is the top-rated used operating system, most people don't know about the stock Android and other different versions of the OS. Therefore, you miss out on several benefits of stock Android. Stock Android is the purest version of the operating system in mobiles that are released by Google.

It can't be altered or changed by the smartphone manufacturers. But the original device manufacturer can customize the version of Android. For instance, Samsung's Note 10 and S10 have a customized Android OS known as One UI. This OS includes apps, drivers, and much more software that are not released by the stock Android.

In 2019, many Android manufacturers are still using the customized version of the operating system. If your mobile phone has no stock Android, you can approximate it by rooting your Android device or use the apps that give you stock Android experience. Here are some tangible and real benefits of using stock Android over the branded version of the operating system.

Most of the customers use the same version for many years in spite of the new version available. At times, buying a new device is the only option to get the latest version of Android. Whereas in stock Android, you will receive the latest version of Android and Google apps update once Google releases it.

Less Bloatware and Duplication

The device manufacturers change the stock Android in several ways for creating custom skins. But, you will end up having lots of duplication.

Bloatware impacts on the performance and battery life of the device, particularly when these apps are running in the background. Bloatware can slow down and obstruct the performance of your device. The branded version of the Android occupies more storage area as you can't uninstall the bloatware apps. As a result, creates a bad performance and slows down the device. Google has improved a lot in Android's performance which includes battery optimization.
