Android is a common operating system (OS) for mobile devices such as phones and tablets. This system has many distinctive features that make it recognizable and attractive to a large number of users around the world.
Support for multiple devices
The Android operating system is undemanding and can run on a variety of configurations. That is why most of the world's manufacturers equip their devices with this OS, since other software products are designed for individual devices that meet a specific specification. This flexibility of Android is due to the fact that the system is built on the Linux kernel, which has an open source code, which gives unlimited opportunities to developers.
Android can run on devices with less than 256MB of RAM. The newest versions of the system require 512 MB of RAM, which is also a small value for modern devices.
The system does not require a high-performance processor and can run on devices equipped with a 600 MHz core.
Number of software
The operating system makes it possible to install applications from the official Google repository, which provides the world's largest database of programs. This is due to the fact that each developer can independently write any program for the device and place it in the store. The opportunity is also realized due to the openness of the operating system. It is worth noting that applications on Android devices can be installed either directly from a phone or tablet, or via a computer by downloading the.apk file and then installing it on the device.
Google services support
A distinctive feature of Android is its integration with Google services - Gmail, Hangouts, Voice Search, etc. Android has officially implemented support for Chrome, which allows you to synchronize tabs opened in the browser on a smartphone with a computer browser.
For example, you can start browsing the pages from your phone and, if you wish, continue to study the information by opening the same tab on your computer, without resorting to a second search.
System interface
"Android" has a fairly simple and intuitive interface. All the necessary applications are located simultaneously on the main screen and in the menu of the device, which is called up by pressing the central touch key or the corresponding button on the screen. All settings are located in the "Settings" section, and each user action is explained with comments and tips when the device is first started. The operating system quickly responds to user clicks and installs and downloads the necessary programs and files at a speed that is not inferior to other modern mobile operating systems.
