ANDROID
Android is an operating system (OS) which is derived from the free Linux OS and became an official OS in 2008 with new versions are now developed by Google.
Each device manufacturer tinkers with Android so not all versions are alike; this leads to problems but even so Android is the world leader in Mobile Operating Systems.
There are many brands ranging from well known names such as Samsung to now recognised Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei, Oppo, OnePlus and Xiaomi.
Android devices range from 5” to 6.x” smartphones and from 7″ to 12″ tablets.
Foldable phones which open out to form a tablet are now available. Also available are 5G smartphones which will take advantage of the new but scarce high speed mobile services.
The latest Android OS is 13 (as of Feb 2023)
