Smartphones, the majority of us couldn’t live without them could we? No matter what our thing is in life, there are apps to help from work to hobbies and fun. Android and Apple are the two biggest contenders in the market. The biggest difference between the two is the wide choice of handsets from different manufacturers which run the Android OS, which gives them such a wide appeal. From the ever popular Samsung Galaxy range through to more affordable handsets such as Huawei, a Chinese company offering feature packed handsets for a more reasonable price.
Android is Open Source, which means developers can modify and adapt it to suit their needs. So, while the underlying software may be the same, manufacturers can tweak it to suit their needs. HTC sense, Samsung TouchWiz etc. A recent survey found that Android users were more loyal than iOS users. Is this because of the variety of hardware available? Whilst all the manufacturers have their own version, there are underlying similarities since they are based on the same platform. Let’s take a look at how you can get the best from your android device.
Since Android is a Google product, the first thing we suggest is syncing with your Google account. You can then share your calendars and contacts to be easily accessed through your Gmail account. This is also very handy when you upgrade to a new handset, as you can bring all your contacts and calendar over when you setup and if, for any reason, you have to reset your handset you can easily retrieve everything again. You can also store all your photos and documents in Google Drive to save space and to keep them safe.
To keep everything neat and organised, you can move all of your apps into folders and give them a name to easily find them. We all know how cluttered a phone's screens can become when we fill them with all the things we need and love. Another fantastic thing about Android is the ability to have different home screens. As you swipe left or right, you can access other screens, allowing you to have one for work, one for home and one for games. You can use widgets on these screens such as weather, fitness, maps, apps etc. You can even save frequently used contacts or Whatsapp contacts here for easy access.
Google now is another helpful feature. Set it up from your Google search bar and whenever you access Google, cards will be displayed about the things you have chosen such as travel times to work, home etc, football scores, news, weather etc. You can use Google voice search to answer queries and make searches for you and take advantage of the talk to type feature to speak messages for the handset to write for you.
Android is extremely customisable allowing you to have your phone, your way. The app store is bursting with apps to suit your lifestyle and make your life easier.
