Google is stepping up its efforts to offer users pure versions of its Android operating system without the extra software – or as critics call it ”bloatware” – added on by phone manufacturers.
The web software giant, which offers Android as a free and open-source program to phone and tablet computer makers, is to offer users an unlocked HTC One with the original version of Android for 599 dollars, while an unlocked Samsung Galaxy will be available for 649 dollars.
