The 2+ has a more interesting design imho, the 3 just looks like a Switch.

I wonder if you could easily de-Google the OS on it, or if they have a Google-free variant.
What's everyone so Anti-Google for, when it comes to Android? I love having all my Google services tied in, it makes for a nice and smooth ecosystem.

Don't want to derail this thread so much, so I'll be brief. If you want, we can continue it elsewhere.

tl;dr: [youtube link]

The other reason is that I want my phone to last 10days instead of ~17hours (yes, I have measured it, same phone, stock and de-Googled compared, same settings as well)
