I thought I would hate it. I've used either stock or near-stock Android for the last 5 years, starting with the Nexus 5 then the OnePlus 1, 3T and 6.
And I did at first. The bloatware, the bloat-processes. It was annoying having to "clean" the phone up. But I got over it. Looking forward to OneUI.
I still prefer the clean and simple look of stock Android. But I have no issues with Samsung's skin.

Great, close to stock. Still lacking in features compared to most other OEMs and updates are very few and far between. Still on a july security patch.
Probably the dumbest part of the skin is that you can't set the homescreen to the middle. No, the damned thing has to be on the most LEFT panel. What are you? An iPhone? Half the reason I bought an android was to set the homescreen to the center.

It uses the Google Now Launcher, which as the name implies keeps Google Now easily accessible with a single swipe from the homescreen. You can always install Nova launcher or another customizable google now-esque launcher and have the home screens setup like you want (which nova does by default)

Sorry, I didn't tried Miui for a long time. Custom Roms FTW! ?
It has some goods and bads, but I didn't like it, it's highly bloated, the design is kinda good; but a lot of the elements looks like a cheap iOS copy, the notification is totally stupid (I was using Android N before getting this phone, which has a way much better notification system)..
And finally the stock ROM is very bad battery wise, it used to drain a lot of battery on standby, and for the first time i see that display isn't what took most of the battery instead it was Android system as shown by the phone's battery stats..
The UI is clean and fast with their new MIUI 9 update,that does come close stock Android in terms to speed, you cannot compare that to iOS because there's originality in the software itself,but comparably the best skin on Android than others majorly, it's so user friendly and loaded with loads of customisations!!!, you can try it
I know it's a late post. I was thinking of flashing a custom ROM since I bought the phone, but you know what, the thing which people call bloat isn't bloat for me really, I mean those apps which come preinstalled actually work and are great for daily usage, for example, I don't have to search play store for a good wireless remote app, it's there already and works for everything which I used it with; similarly, nearly all those apps are actually good except the MI app store . So, I slowly felt that I didn't really required a custom ROM, MIUI performs well up to the mark and is obviously more stable than other custom ROMs, further, I've the phone rooted and MIUI optimizations turned off in dev options, so that I don't have to care about apps and services being turned off in background.
Conclusion: I'd recommend MIUI.
[for UI issues, I'd say, use Nova launcher and you can't do anything about the cheap iOS UI copied elements, but hey, they aren't that bad anyway!]

Still the typical Sony skin with lots and lots and lots of UI bugs. The lockscreen is the absolute worst when it comes to the X series, whoever came up with the idea of having the fingerprint sensor being able to unlock the phone without a registered fingerprint should be fired.
It's clear and looks nice. Performs well. I've tried 6.0.1 and 7.1 and 7.1 is more fluent. But I can't use that as Bluetooth on 7.1 won't work with car.
Not a huge fan of the curved or 2.5D curvature on the side edges on the screen since it doesn't allow for a proper fitting tempered glass, Z3C aesthetics was my favorite since phone tallness was smaller

Simple, effective, perfect.
Not great but this is not unexpected for a pure Android. Comes with almost no software at all and you have to go find this or that app. Doesn't play well with my car's Bluetooth connection. Would be nice if more apps used the entire screen. Customization less than stellar.

I had problems with my car's bluetooth. What fixed it for me was to go into Settings -> Battery -> Battery Optimization from the menu. Switch to "All Apps" and set Bluetooth MIDI Service and Bluetooth Share to "Not Optimized". Works perfectly now.
The skin will affect the gig wireless connection, e.g. 360 camera and future peripherals. We're not talking about the pogo pin power connectors here. I'll avoid it if I can.

you are talking abou a skin protector. This thread is about the User Interface skin over Android OS
Just jumped ship from a Nexus 6P and I don't feel like I've missed a beat besides going back in time a month to before Oreo. However the scrolling jitter is a big smudge on the usability. If/when that gets fixed, it should be great.
I agree.

I dont like this 'coloros 3.2' version cant see notif badge from status bar. Recent task only icons not windows. Cant see messages in lockscreen u need to swipe down which is annoying. When u swipe left it lets u choose two options which are settings and delete and its annoying just let me clear clear it if i swipe left. And my notification drawer/panel's background is black not blurred like ios. Other than these are ok. I dont regret buying this but oh boy this version of coloros is the most ugly af!
