Android

Operating System

Android is a mobile phone operating system developed by Google and used by various major smartphone manufacturers to power the devices they produce. The operating system (or OS) is the software platform that allows your device to perform all the tasks that it’s capable of and does the important job of dedicating resources – such as processing power – to each of those functions, making sure everything runs smoothly. An OS also determines how the user interface looks, so all phones running Android, regardless of which company has made them, will look pretty much the same when it comes to menus and navigation. Android comes in several different versions, the latest of which are detailed below. Click the links to find out more.
