Samsung Wants Less Of Google On Android

Back in February, Samsung revealed that it will be coming up with three Android mobiles this year. A recent report shows that while those plans are still underway, the approach is going to be different. Samsung actually wants less of Google to be in those mobiles.

Two other Android phones will be released in the U.S. later this year on two different carriers, most likely T-Mobile and Sprint. Samsung is taking longer on the two U.S. phones because they wanted to go less Google. [It is] not planning to release the Google-focused apps.

The company is looking to put its own flavor on Android. It is not interested in making a device that's about the Google Experience but rather on something that's on Samsung and Android. Given the current shortage on Android devices to compare it with, I'm not sure how it intends to do that. Also, having Google's name attached to the devices provides a significant selling point already.
