Android: Stock, and Skinned

As a Android user, and follower, I know what makes a good Android phone, and what makes a bad one. One of the main factors is software. Of course, every Android phone, will have Android but some might have a custom skin, like HTC Sense, or TouchWiz. These are implemented by the company, and unless you're like me, and don't mind hacking some stuff, there's no way around them. Some might like these- just personal preference. But on the stat sheet, these can drastically slow your phone down. In this case, you call it "skinned Android". Then, there is stock Android! The greatest of all of them. These have nothing else on top of Android. You might say this is boring, but honestly, it's the same, just with better performance. This is called "stock Android", or "pure Android". So, keep this in mind when you look at Android phones! Even if it's skinned, don't judge it by its cover!
