When you think of Android, what images come to your mind? Well, based on what particular device you have chosen to use, your experiences might be quite different in consistence, design and overall flow, from those of the person sitting next to you.

That’s because most devices running on Android don’t actually ship with the stock version offered by Google and actually run a tweaked variant designed by the manufacturer for its own branded devices. HTC does it, ASUS does it too, but most notably so does Samsung.

And with more than 50 million Galaxy devices out and about in customers’ hands around the world, Sammy’s TouchWiz interface is probably the best-known face of Android.

The battle between stock Android and TouchWiz has been going on for quite some time

Stock Android has always been the sweetheart of the tech crowd and Samsung has been often criticized at taking that experience away from its smartphone users.

However, Samsung might have had good intentions in mind, wanting to help users better navigate through the plethora of settings and functionalities offered by the phone.

Normally, Samsung phones come packed with functions and possibilities and some of them might have just slipped by you if it weren't for the handy colorful pop-up tips explaining the UI’s core functions.

But what if you could have both stock Android and TouchWiz built into one device?

After all the idea makes sense, maybe a noob purchases a Samsung phone and, in time and thanks to the helpful hand of TouchWiz, manages to get a hand of how things go around.

Next stop, our user might want to graduate and move on to stock Android, a UI devoid of tips on how to customize and navigate on your device once you first turn it on, but purer.

In order to do that, our user would have to take out more money from their bank account and buy a Nexus device, which Google promotes as the bearer of the stock Android flag.

Samsung Switch could offer the best of both worlds

But what if a device like the Samsung Switch phone would exist? Jermaine Smit’s latest concept illustrates a handset which allows users to switch between stock Android 5.0 Lollipop and the TouchWiz interface by virtue of a simple button tap (as seen at Concept Phones).

The feature sure seems handy and would save users a lot of money. The imagined Samsung Switch would sport a 4.8-inch full HD display with a nifty 20.7MP rear camera with ISOCELL technology.

Up in front lives a 3.7-inch megapixel frontal cam, a 2890 mAh battery (good enough to sustain 2 days of usage), 4 speakers (two living below and two on top).

The device takes advantage of a powerful Qualcomm 810 processor and judging by the renders and video, it should boast a metal frame (just like the Galaxy Alpha) and a dual LED dual tone flash.
