In android devices there atmosphere is fear of security. there is a possibility of vulnerability, malicious attacks. sometimes data breach is also an issue as it is open source. The android operating system is very heavy and most of the apps running always in background even when same apps has been closed by the user. They drain the battery unnecessary.

The secure environment, The blazing fast process and UI/UX is the best without a shadow of doubt. Support of tens of thousands apps makes it even better to do daily work, be it office or home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support of old APKs are not upto the mark. UX gets changed after security patch or android update. Ram management could be better for smooth performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android is a really good system based on linux which gives the possibility to access a great variety of content on your phone.

I'm developing apps on it in my enterprise and android studio makes this task really easy and comfortable.

The possibilty to develop your own apps free of charge in android studio makes this system even more interesting. As a lot of users use this system the applications developped for this system can be accessed by a lot of persons which makes it more attractive to develop for this system than for other systems.

It is great to be able to program on wiedely used programming languages like java.

As there are a lot of apps out there an inexperienced user can acees those applications and the examples and knowledge gained from developping them from previous developpers which makes the start much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes things are not so nicely desined as they are in IOs but I can live with that downside.

Sometimes basic apps use a lot of space and for unexperienced developpers solving those or other more advanced topics is quite challenging.

More expamples would help solve this issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about Android is the Customisation features. In Android we customize almost everything from status bar to navigation and even the charging animation & boot animation.

Android is always famous for customisation. You can customise further if you root your phone and install magisk modules or Xposed modules. With these modules we can also tweak system performance and other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike about Android is it's inconsistent battery life. Android is a very heavy OS which already consumes lot of battery life but sometimes I don't know what apps are running in the background killing the battery. Because of this the battery life gets inconsistent and that's what I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android is famous for giving options to users to customise the Os as to their needs. Also it gives OEM to draw a skin on top of AOSP so that OEM can adapt & modify the OS to add unique features for end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Main concern for Android is security. Android is not know for it's security compared to IOS. Although Google is working hard to add more security features to Native OS & forcing OEM to concentrate on security features to protect data of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android is a wonderful ,cheap,reliable, multipurpose operating system in the world of mobiles.It has one of the best developer group to bring best version everytime.Affordable for every one.Very easy to use than windows and iOS.It makes my day to day work easy like taking notes, capturing images, talking chatting, accessing the internet using social media everything has become so easy thanks to android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least help thing about Android is that it runs lots of advertisements and security is also a one of issue because core system itself gives lots of information to google and other companies. Most of the times when you search for something on the internet, android starts displaying ads about similar items which clearly shows that they have access to user data and hence privacy is compromised. Another problem is lack of customisation. The dark mode is not like on an iOS device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are a android person you can relate that Android has bunch of features one would like:

1. 100% customizable so every brand has there own implementation over the android operating system.

2. Perfect from security point of view.

3. More frequent patches and majaor updates from google.

4. Availability of library of millions of applications through playstore.

5. Open source due to which there are insanely huge number of mods to play and experiment with.

6. Ease of use, even 4-5 years kids are able to operate android like a boss.

7. Android phones are available in all price ranges ideal for people from any background and with different financial statuses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike in Android but some minor things I would like to point are:

1. Gaming performance of flagship Android phones are most standing below iPhone's performance. It is not very significant but still noticeable in enthusiastic gamers.

2. This being observed on bit cheaper android phones, that after a year of use, android starts slowing down due to hardware limitations and frequent updates which are ideal for later models.

All in all i would say Android is a exceptionally good OS and I had to force my mind to bring out some of the minor flaws in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1.Simple and interface makes it very easy to use.

2.Day to day tasks are so easy to manage be it making phone calls, setting up alarms , browsing the internet. Android does it all

3.Since it is a product of google, it is integrated with all google apps like chrome, drive, hangouts etc which makes life really easy

4. The price point of the operating system is cheaper compared to its competitors like blackberry os, apple os etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stock android experience although simple doesnt provide the customisation options that is available on apple os or blackberry. A lot of applications on android are pre-installed and cannot be removed from the device. This makes it a bit laggy and unprofessional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface for use to all individual.

What a common man expect to get easily acquired with the system and start enjoying technology for different uses. Android operating make that easy.

Compare to apple it's easy to use.

All smart devices are coming with android as operating systems.

Using Android TV, Watch.

Android have easy access for all developers which makes it advantage to developers to utilise their skill to develop apps like ordering medicine online, food ordering, GPS tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security issue may be one of the threats unlike other operating system which are more secure.

Hackers can breach system and gets easy access to system.

Security should be increase with each update received in android.

Better screening of apps and restrictions on navigating to third party links should be provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android is not afraid to innovate. People had begun to question Android's relevance after the rise of cross platform frameworks like React Native and Flutter. Besides supporting both iOS and Android, their declarative development style and hot reloading ability were greatly liked by developers. But Android has shown the way ahead with:

1. Jetpack compose: Inspired by declarative development styles of React and Flutter, it is a major upgrade over Views and XML layouts. The current imperative style development using views is more verbose, requires more boilerplate and takes more storage space. View inflation and tree traversal is expensive for the CPU. Although Jetpack compose brings a completely new development style, the two platforms remain interoperable.

2. Kotlin: Developed by JetBrains and named after a Russian island, it is Java on steroids. Google has adopted it as an officially supported language for Android. It lets developers break free from the dogma of object oriented programming, write leaner code and use advanced libraries like Coroutines and Jetpack Compose.

3. Kotlin multi-platform: Lets developers write business logic in Kotlin, and share the code with both Android and iOS. It uses ART on Android, and LLVM compiler on iOS. Unlike React Native or Flutter, it's not for hybrid apps but for business logic sharing. But it brings a new paradigm nevertheless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Android studio: It's a slow platform and a memory hog. VSCode would be a much better platform for android developers, with faster speed and a better extension community.

2. OS fragmentation: Due to so many different versions still being used by people, there comes a trade-off between using latest features or supporting a wider range of devices. Whatsapp dropping support for old versions of Android is one such example. OEMs should provide longer update guarantees to device buyers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the open source nature of the OS. It makes customising the user experience process unique for the phone OEMs. There are so many unique takes on android out in the market today that one can easily find exactly what they are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The over the top permissions that the various apps have when you install them. Though this has improved in the last few iterations of android, however there's still a lot to do in this regard. User information security is of utmost importance and android is moving in the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android is open source, free, flexible and the most wonderful operating system. It has a large developer community such as https://www.xda-developers.com/ and is extremely powerful. You can install custom roms,tweak the sofrware, in short, the power lies in the hands of the user rather than a large corporation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike Google imposing restrictions in the latest versions of Android. Also, the new permission system is kind of messed up and bad from a developer perspective.Also, software updates are a pain because of fragmentation in the ecosystem.Also, there are some security concerns primarily due to its open nature,The app ecosystem is not as mature as IOS IMO,mainly because of security issues and android development isnt as close to being friendly as IOS development is.
