Introduction to Android:

Android is a free and open source operating system based on the Linux kernel (without GNU components). Mainly used in mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, led and developed by Google and the Open Mobile Alliance.

The Android operating system was originally developed by Andy Rubin and mainly supports mobile phones. It was acquired and funded by Google in August 2005. In November 2007, Google formed an Open Mobile Alliance with 84 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators to jointly develop and improve the Android system. Then Google released the source code of Android under the license of Apache open source license.

The first Android smartphone was released in October 2008. Android has gradually expanded to tablets and other fields, such as televisions, digital cameras, game consoles, smartwatches and so on. In the first quarter of 2011, Android's global market share surpassed Symbian for the first time, ranking first in the world. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the global market share of Android platform phones reached 78.1%. 2013-09-24 Android, the operating system developed by Google, is celebrating its fifth birthday, and the number of devices using this system has reached 1 billion worldwide.

In the first quarter of 2014, Android platform accounted for 42.8% of all mobile advertising traffic, surpassing iOS for the first time. But operating income is not as good as iOS.

Platform benefits:

Openness

In terms of advantages, the Android platform is first of all its openness, and the developed platform allows any mobile terminal manufacturer to join the Android alliance. Remarkable openness can make it have more developers, with the increasing abundance of users and applications, a new platform will soon become mature.

For the development of Android, openness helps to accumulate popularity, which includes consumers and manufacturers, while for consumers, the biggest benefit is rich software resources. Open platforms will also bring more competition, so that consumers will be able to buy their favorite mobile phones at lower prices. At the same time, we can also achieve a better user experience by brushing the machine through some third-party optimized systems, such as MIUI,Flyme and so on.

Rich hardware

This is also related to the openness of the Android platform, because of the openness of Android, many manufacturers will launch a variety of strange products with different functions and features. Functional differences and features will not affect data synchronization, or even software compatibility, just like switching from Nokia Symbian-style phones to Apple iPhone, while bringing excellent software in Symbian to iPhone for use, contacts and other materials can be easily transferred.

Convenient for development

Android platform provides a very broad and free environment for third-party developers, which will not be hindered by all kinds of rules and regulations. You can imagine how many novel and chic software will be born. But it also has two sides. How to control bloody, violent and erotic programs and games is one of the difficulties left to Android.

Google application

Google in the Internet has gone through 10 years of history, from search giant to comprehensive Internet penetration, Google services such as map, email, search and so on have become an important link between users and the Internet, and Android platform mobile phones will seamlessly combine these excellent Google services.
