THE ANDROID ADVANTAGE

Android is the popular OS developed by Google. It offers a large number of applications. Some of the key features that have made it hugely popular are;

Google Play: This application acts like a marketplace where you can

source various applications from one point and vendors and publishers can publish various software applications, e-books etc. on the interface. The Google Play application directly allows users and vendors to purchase and sell various applications without the involvement of third parties. Google play also recognizes the device you are using and therefore only displays the applications compatible with your device.

Android is secure as it imposes more restrictions on applications that

require access to phone resources such as network, memory etc. You can also download various third party applications to prevent Internet malwares.

You can also back up your contacts on remote servers offered for free

by Google. You can back up data like media files, contacts etc. The backed up data can also be deleted from the remote servers in case your phone gets stolen. This acts as an additional security feature.

Android phones offer you with access to unlimited entertainment

sources. New applications are added almost daily to give you a never ending fun experience.

Downloading and installing applications from Android is inexpensive

Model A111 3

as most of the applications are free or come at reasonable price tags.

Android OS facilitates multitasking which allows you to work on more

than one application at a time, thereby improving the functionality of the phone.

Android boasts of ever improving technology. Since its introduction,

the application store has grown manifold and the features have been improved and enhanced.
