When the Android phone is mentioned, what will you think of it? Will you be puzzled and ask what it is? If you don’t know what it is, let me explain it to you. An Android phone means a smart mobile phone loaded with the Android System which is launched by Google Company.

With the development of science and technology, the mobile phone has progressed rapidly. Several years ago, you could only make a phone call and send message with a mobile phone. Now you can use it as a mini computer. We can use it to make phone calls, listen to music, play games and surf the internet.

More and more companies research and develop the operation system for the mobile phone. Now several kinds of operating systems have been developed, such as Symbian, Linux, Mac OS X for iPhone, Android, etc. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Previously, the Symbian System was very popular with the consumer and it has nearly monopolized the whole market for over ten years. However, since Android System was launched two years ago, it has overtaken Symbian and was accepted by many consumers. Why is it so popular? It can be attributed to the following reasons:

Firstly, what excites the consumer most is there are numerous kinds of free softwares for the Android phone. You can download software to your smart mobile phone from the internet regardless of any brands. Yet you should pay for most of them. However, if your mobile phone belongs to the Android System, you can download much of them for free. Don’t you think it amazing?

Secondly, if your phone belongs to Android System, you can customize the operation menu and the operation system according to your own preference. With this function, you can make your phone particular and unique, which can’t be done in other kinds of systems.

Thirdly, many mobile phone producers have used Android as the operation system of their own brands, which means if you want to buy a phone of Android System, you have many choices. Then there must be one type favored by you. What’s more, Android System has not only been used in a mobile phone but also in tablet PC. You may feel puzzled why so many mobile phone producers use Android as their phones’ operation systems. The reason is very simple. It is because there are so many free softwares and games on the internet, which is popular with consumers. They are willing to pay for the phone with Android system.
