Mobile Phones through time have evolved and moulded in such a way that they have become an integral part of our lives. They are the first thing which we seek for as soon as we wake up and the last thing we put to rest before going to sleep. In that respect, Android OS is something that has created an enormous impact. It is the most popular OS in terms of number of users worldwide which in turn has allowed for massive growth of commercial users such as applications, advertisements, etc. and even hardware such as mobile phones, TV, watches and other devices.
Android is basically a simple platform where various software and hardware services can function. It is versatile, open-source and is more popular on mobile devices. Due to this, many companies like Samsung, Sony, etc. have found it beneficial to adopt the android eco-system into their devices. Google, who owns the platform also have their own version of Android on their Nexus devices complete with all the Google applications. Because of the overwhelming demand from the consumers, numerous companies have adopted the Android eco-system. This does not just apply to mobile phones but also various other devices like connected home, TV’s, PC’s, etc.
The Android eco-system consists of the most number of applications than any other OS. As a result, a humongous number of Android users can access the applications among multitude of platforms. This has also created a massive opportunity for advertisements to be displayed. One of the most important reasons why users consider Android as the best OS is because it is far more customizable than any other OS. With Windows and iOS, there are plenty of restrictions that limit the users. There is no comparing other OS to Android when it comes to money. In the market, there are different types of Android phones ranging from low to high price. It has been categorized in that way targeting all classes of people. With the improvement of technology and demand of such users, new software are developed every day. Such software are directly used by the customers of the platform. Be it an alarm clock app for waking up early or a news app to accompany for breakfast, a maps app to help reaching the office early, or office app to aid in work, reminder app to help remember to bring groceries home or video app to help watch favourite shows, there is everything for everyone. As such, the impact that the OS has had on the daily lives of the users cannot be measured.
The further growth of Android OS is inevitable. With the number of companies adopting the OS ever increasing, let’s not forget the number of new devices adopting it too, the OS is destined to reach new horizons. With every such new device and new users, different opportunities can arise for the developers. New applications are created every day along with more new devices adopting them. The commercial opportunity that rises as a result is in no doubt creating further impact on the lives of users.
