谷歌设计安卓系统 simplicity like a breeze, but woah, give it a whirl for the first time, you might as well be standing in the middle of a maze with a "Now You See Me, Now You Don't" hat. Whenever manufacturers play拼接拼图，uh-oh, Google’s software gets cozy under a layer of custom clutter, like a trendy topcoat over a perfect suit. That includes all those pre-loaded apps and the mustache you didn’t know you’d grown—ahem, the "skin" UI. I’mpretty sure Samsung's TouchWiz or HTC's Sense? They're like the Kamikaze pilots of user interfaces. No seriously, there ARE OTHERS, but gosh, let’s not turn this into a haunted house of options.

Now, if you’re fresh outta the smartphone market or leapin' from iOS, Windows, or a sock drawer labeled "Smart Phone Moons," you might find Android throwing curveballs like a handball champion. It’s not the illustrative, get-your-hands-on-it ease that Google's little sunshine kid wanted you to believe.

But worry not, tech-heads like us are here to dissect the "Ah-ha!" moments for why Android isn't exactly Google's Willy Wonka mixed in the Easy-Bake Oven sessions.

No way could there be any logic in these version numbers;

Every since Android 1.5, we've been on a street named 'Menu' where the alphabet’s tapas await. Each snack's got a catchy codename — a desert dish, just like a sweet spot on a map but Google must be having a sugar high because they missed the how-many-sweets-does-one-deserve guideline. Code names are like spoons full of sugar, some sharing the sandwiched love with multiple versions, and some holding the single date to the .1 undies; it's a bit like trying to guess the flavor when there are no obvious clues.

Some of the lovely names of Android’s sweet treats are:- Cupcake: 1.5- Donut: 1.6- Eclair: 2.0 & 2.1- Froyo: 2.2- Gingerbread: 2.3- Honeycomb: 3.0, 3.1, 3.2- Ice Cream Sandwich: 4.0- Jelly Bean: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3- KitKat: 4.4- Lolipop: 5.0 & 5.1

And just when you're thinking it can’t get any stranger wondering, “Is there a peanut butter and banana sandwich представительно?” suddenly it looks like you’ve found the manual of tricks for an over-nerded Magic Palace. Google's "M" could end up being the covid of all code names, shattering the world order we've grown accustomed to.

By the time you finish reading this, the user experience on this phone might be different

iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, but Android? That’s like being on a carousel of head-scratching situations, because even Google said, "No two phones are the same." What's that in English??? Unfortunately, not even Google’s ASSERTION of having the same core ideas applies to the Android carousel. Each manufacturer tailors his phone, like a tailor fulminating in the wrong fabric.

Your Android home screen might still be there, but the dress designer? Asking for a friend — I mean纱窗制造商！ You pick two phones, zap them onto the floor, and don't have them go “click-clack” like classmates. They feel different from the ground up, even though both are like “Powered By Android", which is their red panties.

Oh, and did I mention that you’ll need to skip theaffected:124:126(Matrixolerance) glory and go for a wild guessing game with every strange-looking UI? (Example: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 5) My good sir, welcome to your new twist of mystery in the tech universe.

Ditch your phone’s warranty for an upgrade

When it comes to the Android pride that the update won't be released, it's a snuggle party with 'broken my hope' juice. Manufacturers love building phones for a specific OS, but boy, it's like painting your house and finding out your homeowners' association bans repainting. Less truth-in-advertising, more "truth-if-you're-a-lucky-blue-eyed-Suede.”

Non-tech heads scramble through their first hurdles, get through the second, then say, "hold up, time-out, reflective coolness jacket!" because the updated phone might just stick in the block off their road. Smack replay. Meanwhile, here’s your mischievous tech wizard with homemade hurlyburly from the update catalog.

Over here, the tech drains of the world (that's us) discover the update so fast it's almost cheating; that's right, we’re wearing the cool Whatsapp undies from the notifications. Meanwhile, “normal” Android users are watching their updates drip like a leaky faucet — most frustrating to say the least.

This app’s not compatible; what? More housekeeping!

Builders of these apps pour their creativity into a vat, only to be distressed by the discovery that sometimes their app won't always play nice with theenticated device. It's like they’ve got a compatibility matrix as complicated as a day on Wall Street: scary, unstable, and sure to sendwaves through the streets of investors.

The common consumer waves goodbye to their clear cotton candy dreams and start']/
