Amazing features of Android Operating System

With Android operating system (OS) Pie version 9.0 which was installed in mobile devices across the globe a year ago, Google is on to something—Android is now more popular than iOS or the Windows phone. The OS tends to gather great reviews for its ease of use and open source, but many iOS or Windows phone users are arguing that their preferred operating system can do just as much. In some respects that’s true, but here are some amazing features of an Android’s OS that no one can deny are the best features .

1.Near Field Communication (NFC):

Most Android smartphones now support NFC, which allows the android users to easily interact across short distances. The main aim here is to create a payment option that is simpler than carrying credit cards or cash, and while the market hasn’t exploded as many experts had predicted, there can be an alternative in the works, in the form of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

2. Alternate Keyboards:

Android supports multiple keyboards and makes them easy to install; the SwiftKey, Skype, and 8pen apps all offer ways to quickly change up your keyboard style. Other mobile operating systems either don’t permit extra keyboards at all, or the process to install and use them are hectic and more time-consuming.

3. Infrared Transmission:

The Android operating system supports a built-in infrared transmitter, allowing you to use your phone or tablet as a remote control for your T.V, A.C etc .

4.No-Touch Control:

Using Android apps such as Wave Control, users can control their phones without touching it,using only gestures. Have messy hands but need to turn off your screen or change a song?  It is simple. This could prove especially useful if you’re driving, so you can keep both eyes on the road.

5. Automation:

The Tasker app lets you not only control app permissions but also automate them. Do you only want your location services to be active during the day? Want to create a customized way to start your music—for example, with a voice command and at a certain volume? Tasker can help to do the following function easily.

6.Wireless App Downloads:

Accessing app stores on any mobile device can be frustrating, but iOS makes it a little more difficult—download an app on your computer, and it won’t sync to your mobile device until you plug in and access iTunes. Using the Android Market or third-party options like AppBrain, meanwhile, let you download apps on your PC and then automatically sync them your to your Android smartphones, no plugging required.

7.Storage and Battery Swap:

Android phones also have some unique hardware capabilities. Google’s OS makes it possible to remove and upgrade your battery or to replace one that is no longer able to holds a charge. In addition, Android phones come with SD card slots for expandable storage.

8.Custom Home Screens:

While it’s possible to hack certain phones to customize the home screen, Android comes with this capability from the get-go. Download a third-party launcher like Nova, Apex or Slide and you can add gestures, new shortcuts, or even performance enhancements for older-model devices.
