II. About Android
Introducing Android: The world's most
powerful mobile platform
There's no other software quite like
Android. Google engineered Android,
and Google’s own apps run best on it.
And with millions of apps, games,
songs, and videos on Google Play,
Android is great for fun, and for getting things done.
Android devices come in all kinds of sizes, with all sorts of
features, and at all sorts of prices. With Android, you’re in
control of your mobile experience.
Your stuff, always available, no wires needed
When you sign in to your phone or tablet with Google,
you can access all of your Google stuff (contacts, photos,
Gmail and more) quickly and easily. You can also enjoy all
of your favorite entertainment across your Android
devices and even your computer — no wires, no syncing.

Play everywhere you go
Google Play is the easiest way to enjoy all your favorites:
more than 700,000 apps and games, millions of songs,
thousands of movies and TV shows, the world's largest
collection of eBooks, and a growing selection of
magazines. With Google Play, there's no wires, no hassle,
just pure entertainment. You can now read, listen and
watch anywhere you want—on your tablet, phone, or in
any browser at play.google.com.
Powerful, simple, and beautiful
Millions of people use Android because it’s so powerful
yet still so easy. The home screen, apps, and widgets are
simple to use right out of the box, but completely
customizable. With Android, you can create a unique
mobile experience that’s just right for you.
Widgets
Put the important stuff right within reach and interact
with your favorite apps directly from your home screen
with widgets — see the latest sport scores, view your
favorite photos, check the weather or peek at your inbox
all without having to open different apps or leave the
home screen.

Notifications
An easy-to-read notification tray gives you quick access to
your calls, incoming texts, and new emails in a nonintrusive way.
Multi-tasking

between apps and pick up whatever you were doing.
Juggling multiple tasks at once on a mobile device has
never been easier.
Voice typing and actions
Control your Android device with your voice. Simply
touch the microphone on the keyboard and start talking
to write emails, SMS, or any other text — more than 30
languages supported. Text appears in real time, so there’s
no waiting.

Capture special moments with great photos and videos,
explore your shots and quickly share your favorites in any
way that you want.

Optimizing Battery Performance
