ANDROID

Smartphones have become a necessity in today’s business-oriented world; they are useful for taking notes, recording memos and messages, transcribing notes, taking pictures, sending/receiving emails, to name a few features. This demand for smartphones has become a huge incentive for many companies to provide the best smartphones possible, which has given rise to tough competition in the smartphone industry.
Many companies have emerged as market leaders in the past decade. Nokia, HTC, LG, Apple, and Samsung all have developed excellent smartphones. But how can YOU choose which smartphone to go for? The answer is simple: focus on the operating system. Nokia is exclusively a Windows Phone, HTC, LG and Samsung are exclusively Android OS devices, and Apple uses its own iOS to operate. So, basically, you must choose between Android OS, Windows Phone, and iOS. All these operating systems are state of the art, and choosing between them is truly a matter of preference.
