what is an android?
Introduction: Android is a Linux-based mobile phone operating system developed by Google. Android is unique because Google is actively developing the platform but giving a portion of it away for free to hardware manufacturers and phone carriers who want to use Android on their devices.Google only charges manufacturers if they also install the Google apps portion of the OS.ndroid powers the Google TV, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Amazon Kindle, and countless other devices. Parrot even makes a digital photo frame and a car stereo system with Android. Amazon and a few other device makers opted out of the Google apps package, which is why you cannot access Google Play from those devices.
