What Should Companies Consider With Android's Dominance?

When it comes to smartphones and tablets, Google's mobile operating system is everywhere. Although it started from humble beginnings, today Android has become a dominant force in the mobile industry.
The mobile device market is an incredibly competitive space. While we all remember Apple's IOS system ruling the mobile market for years, Android has stepped in and proved itself as a viable alternative for phone manufacturers.

Android Key Statistics :
Android is the most popular operating system in the world, with over 2.8 billion active users, it has a global market share of 75 percent.
Android accounted for over one billion smartphone shipments in the past year alone.
Android holds over 85% market share in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Turkey, and Vietnam
Google Play has grown enormously in the past decade, reaching $38.6 billion in revenue in 2020.
Samsung is the largest Android smartphone manufacturer, followed by Huawei and Xiaomi.

It was not long ago when the very idea that Android would be able to dominate the mobile market was ridiculed by most people. Fast forward to today, Apple's once-dominant position is slowly crumbling, as Google's momentum continues to grow. It has successfully attracted consumers from all over the world and quickly became a massive competitor for other titans of the mobile operating systems world. Here's why:

Affordability
Not all businesses require high-end devices nor does one type of device fulfill all business needs. Android devices come in an extensive price range which has made them the smartest option for all types of businesses. It helps businesses cut costs and make smart financial choices during heavy deployments and investments.

Security
Security is a big deal for businesses, and Android has a reputation for being one the most secure mobile operating systems out there. This is thanks to its security features like encryption and sandboxing, which allows apps to run more securely.

Familiarity With The OS
You might think you know the operating system for your smartphone or tablet, but did you know that Android is a popular choice among businesses?
Most people are familiar with it. Android is an incredibly intuitive operating system-its interface is simple, its features are easy to use and it's customizable to fit your needs. And because it's open source (meaning anyone can contribute to its development), there are many third-party apps available to make using Android even better.
It's easy to use. The key here is customization: if you want something different than what everyone else uses on their phones/tablets, then customizing the device to particular preferences makes it user-friendly for all types of employees.

Access To Apps
Android has a large library of apps, which makes it easier for businesses to find the right app for their needs. Android users enjoy greater compatibility with apps than any other OS, equipping them with a wide range of options

Power And Flexibility
Android has an operating system that is much more versatile and customizable than its competitors. But it also has one other big advantage over its rival: Android's software is open-source, meaning that developers can create apps for the platform and contribute them to Google's Play Store. This means there are literally thousands of different apps available on almost every device running Android.
Android's flexibility makes it easier to customize your device to fit your needs and brand personality, whether you prefer more customization or less, whether you prefer a phone with minimal features or maximum, there is a wide range in almost every category. For example, if you want something simple but still highly functional-like a phone without all those bells & whistles-you can opt for an entry-level smartphone instead of spending thousands on an iPhone XS Max or Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

Hardware Choices
There is a wide range of Android devices to choose from, and the hardware options are only growing. If you're looking for a new tablet or smartphone, there's a good chance that it'll be an Android device.

Android devices come in all shapes and sizes-from phablet-sized phones like Huawei's Mate 9 Pro (6 inches) to 10-inch tablets like Samsung's Galaxy Tab S3 (9 inches). Their screen resolutions vary too: The top-of-the-line Galaxy Note 9 has a 6.4-inch OLED display with 3840 x 2160 pixels; meanwhile, the Google Pixel 3a XL sports an LCD panel with 1080 x 2160 pixels on its 6-inch display. And while most smartphones have at least some basic specs on board-a processor, RAM, and storage capacity-it's worth paying attention to when buying an Android phone because they can also vary quite significantly from one model to another based on their camera setup or other features like wireless charging capabilities or water resistance rating (which allows users who drop their phones into liquid without getting them wet).

With this range of products in their line, Andriod has something for everybody.
