    Dudenoway, 18 Oct 2021Even andriod is built on Linux source code so yea. Which is nice,I wouldn't want them to switch to Zircon/Fuchsia.

      Only one thing I've been waiting on for years and that's an all Google phone, Stock Android (well, Pixel's version) on a Google phone, on a Google chip.

        I'm fine. I don't want more features. I have emui 9.1 on andriod 9. But it's nice to have celan software. I don't hate bloatware or junk(I'm not a fan of it either) but it's good to have cleaner software

                            I'm sick and tired with the lack of OS choices, Sailfish seems to get overlooked not sure why looks clean and fresh. I am a Android user but sick to death of it and Google I hate to be supporting them.

                                    Really, you think the poll is skewed because of the switching platforms??? Why did you put hat choice in the first place?

                                    The more important question is, why did you ask this poll when (almost) no one has installed android 12 on their phones? How can anyone give an objective answer without even trying the software first???

                                      o, that explains it...
                                      most people rely on what they see (ui)
                                      instead of what works behind (kernel)
                                      which is more responsible of device capability and efficiency...
                                      no wonder most makers are into "beautiful chassis" rather than excellent hardware inside devices, except of course, of usual specsheet, assumed that higher mah, gb are always better...
