To capitalize on the smart device market, almost all the tech giants are working hard regularly. So let’s check on who makes android phones? Learn some interesting facts about them and also some of the best phones on the market.

What is Android?

Android is an operating system for mobile devices. It is just a modified version of the open-source Linux kernel. Chances are you have an android device right now in your hand or you have used any other android devices at least once. 

Like the Linux Kernel, the Android operating system is also open-source which means you can find the source code for this operating system, and also you can modify it according to your need. This is the opposite of Apple’s IOS which only Apple can use for their device.

Due to the open-source nature of Android, android phones prices are cheaper than other smart devices. The developer can focus their budget more on hardware than the software side for this. A cheap but powerful device has brought a revolution in the technological field.

Widgets were always a strong side for android. They offered interesting widgets for every app but sometimes differentiating widgets from one another gets a bit confusing. Fortunately, in Android 12 you can find widgets more organized way.
