Android differs from other operating systems in the following ways:

  • Open-source. The Android platform is completely open source, meaning that the source code is available to the public. This means that it can be modified in any way imaginable. Other operating systems such as iOS and Blackberry are closed-source, and can only be expanded using apps, which have limited control over the rest of the phone.
  • Synchronisation. All your contacts, bookmarks, messages and more synchronise constantly and are backed up online, so if you lose the Android device, all your data is not lost.
  • Built for the web. The Android OS was designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with the internet: Facebook updates to your door, the best internet browser around and unbeaten online security make it an obvious choice for mobile web users.

Android devices usually come with great hardware support (more sensors than any other devices) and in some devices second-to-known processor and graphics performance.

Android devices tend to be less smooth and sleek that Apple devices.
