Android OS and Its Application
Android is an open source-operating system initially designed for application in smart portable devices. It belongs to the Unix-like OS family because it is running on a modified Linux kernel. As the years rolled by, other devices such as TVs and watches began featuring Android OS. Moreover, refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, surveillance cameras, and other household appliances are now compatible with this operating system. On that note, let us take a closer look at what the Android OS has to offer on mobile devices.

Compared to iOS, Android allows you much more freedom in customizing your phone. You can even root your android phone which allows you to load apps (APKs) from stores other than the Google play store. This does open you up to risk of malware, though we have a guide to installing APKs without using developer mode which removes some of the risk.
