Google’s OS is definitely the most popular smartphone platform, and used by several manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, ZTE, etc. Android is much more open than iOS, which means smartphone makers can more easily try out new ideas on top of Google’s software. But, aside from smartphones, this Operating System is used on thousands of different devices today, too.
Android phones have varied screen sizes; from 3 inches to 7 inches (the iPhone until now has only two screen sizes, 3.5 inches and 4 inches). The majority of Android-based devices are equipped with a memory card support (the iPhone does not provide a SD card slot). Android users can customize their phones, adding widgets, shortcuts, animated wallpapers etc. You, the user, can easily change how the phone looks with just a few simple tweaks.
Also, sharing of apps and files between an Android phone and non-Android phone can be done smoothly either through Bluetooth or other means. There are also third party stores to download apps aside that provided by Google Play Store. Consequently, the range of apps for Android devices is enormous.
So, what are Android’s weak points? It is said that Google’s OS is very vulnerable to virus, malware and other hacking attacks, but that shouldn’t be an issue if you take the proper measures (anti-virus software).
