The smartphone operating system that is on the verge of crushing the iphone. To put it simply, Android treats you as the admin of your phone, while the Iphone OS treats you as a user. While only the Iphone runs on iOS4, there are hundreds of Android phones. Android allows you to install 3rd party apps, run emulators, use webchat WITHOUT WiFi, etc.

Android is a smartphone operating system developed by Google using a Linux kernel. The end result is a powerful smartphone that can best the iPhone. It is open source, so the apps are free, and you have personal liberty to customize your phone any way you want. Tech geeks are known to "root" their phone, which is a process that makes you the admin of the operating system, similar to Windows' Administrator account that has been in use since XP in personal computers. The only difference is that you do not get the annoying pop up on an Android phone as you do with the windows pc counterpart.
Android is available on all major networks, and some people have managed to flash their CDMA droids onto smaller PCS networks such as Cricket and Metro PCS.

Android is the Anti iPhone. For every iPhone 4 there is a HTC Evo, G2, Galaxy S, among others. Android is less show more features, unlike the iPhone which many people have bought for show. Android started out on T-Mobile with the G1 (HTC Dream), then went to Verizon with the Motorola Droid (Milestone in GSM markets). Sprint got into the action with an HTC phone, and AT&T was the last to get with Android with the Galaxy S. To date, AT&T limits its android phones to turn sales to the iPhone, and the other 3 major cell phone carriers emphasize their innovative phone features with their Android devices.

A commonly made fun of operating system that everyone says poor people own. Most other high-end phones however these phones have had many things iPhone just added now. Androids can be very high quality phones at times and people with iphone's are too lazy to realise this.

iOS users: Why don't you get an iPhone?
Android users: Android might be a pile of shit, but it's a better pile of shit.

Now one of the most used technology companies is Apple's competitor. Ever since 2008, this company now owned by Google was made about one year since the release of the original iPhone. Its first phone was the T-mobile G1, as it sparked a ton of other companies. Some of these companies are Samsung, Kyocera, Google's Pixel lineup, Huawei, Motorola, Oppo, HTC, and a ton of others. By today's standards, I would recommend getting the Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Ultra, with their amazing displays and the Ultras whopping 108 Mpx camera.
