Last week's poll summary: Over 13,000 of you voted, and it looks like many of you agree — 38 percent of our readers prefer their smartphone's screen size to be between 5 and 5.2 inches. Coming in second place at 30 percent is the 5.3 to 5.6-inch crowd, and 17 percent of voters said they prefer their screen sizes to be between 5.7 and 6.0 inches.

Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony and pretty much every other smartphone manufacturer have their own ideas as to how they think Android should look and act. You won’t get the same software experience on a Samsung Galaxy S7 as you would on the Moto X Pure Edition, LG G5 or HTC 10, but that’s one of the best things about Android. It’s open, it’s customizable, and if you don’t like a certain company’s software implementation, there’s no need to buy a phone from that company.

Samsung’s TouchWiz has a pretty poor reputation, but it’s hard denying there are some handy software features present on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Alternatively, HTC’s Sense has long been one of the favorites in the Android world. LG’s UX has gone through quite a few changes in recent years, but it’s looking like most of the changes have been for the better. And Motorola’s skin (if you can even call it that) continues to stick closely to the bare-bones Android we all know and love with just a handful of Motorola’s tweaks thrown in. Even though Motorola’s software interface isn’t necessarily considered an Android “skin”, we still thought it should be included in the poll.
