Actually, I now own four different Android phones.

Apart from version differences, I don't see much contribution from manufacturers' side. Mostly, their contributions end at desktop themes and maybe a couple of branded applications.

It seems, the best defence against fragmentation is a strong leadership. It should be unprofitable for manufacturers to deviate much from the mainline branch.

So far, it seems to be what's happening.
