Let's get acquainted with Android!

In the first part of this paper, I have revealed one important reason that might make you aware of the existence of Android. Well in this article, I will raise an important point related to Android phones. If you are a businessman, I hope you do not miss this important point.



In addition to intelligent, there is one important reason why you are all worth considering Android as your next phone. And the important point that I am referring to is the price. Surprise: it's cheap! One proof is my own phone, the Nexian Journey A-891. The price is frankly terrifying: only 769 thousand. Price is certainly a little way behind compared to the price of mobile-phone low-end Blackberry. And so far behind when compared with the iPhone 4S that reach 7 million plus.

(Duh, waste ya said, had made "only" was coupled with "just" too. Understandably, the author was impressed with his new cell phone capabilities.)

Cheap

As an ex-gadget bloggers (bloggers who blog about gadgets), I knew that was once all smartphones tend to be priced at a more expensive phone than stupid aka "dumb phone". And this is normal because of the features and specifications owned by a smartphone certainly better, more and more superior than those in "dumb phone".

But the story is past. As quickly that soon, it slowly began to change. Currently, there are some vendors who dared to sell the Android-based phone - the automatic entry into the smartphone category - at a price below one million dollars. Nexian fact, one of the local mobile vendor "made in china" had dared to take off some of the Android-based smart phones in the price range of 600-800 thousand dollars. Not cheap enough?

It's not as cheap as some other type of phone that is sometimes fatal priced; 150 thousand. I call it "terrible" because the selling price is still under a tin of milk Appeton Gain Weight 190 gram packs. But the phone like this is not a competitor Android. When we talk Android, indirectly we have entered into a community of mobile-phone operating system as sophisticated as the Blackberry OS, Symbian, Windows Phone 7 and IOS. The phones are sold with a platform other than Android OS, is usually relatively high priced. To this day, we will be very difficult to find Blackberry for 700 thousand. Okay, maybe there but you have to buy from black market or from friends whose hearts are troubled and are subject to pockets of dry alias cancer. What about the IOS-based mobile phone and Windows Phone 7? Hmmm, do not expect. At least for the next few years.

Why be cheap Android phone?

Android phones could be sold cheaply because the quality is not under a non-Android smartphone others, but because of the license. For those of you who do not know, Android is released to the public free of charge with the Apache 2.0 license and the GNU GPL 2.0. This means that the vendors who want to immerse into the product besutannya Android will not be subject to a license fee per handset as it is often applied by owners of other operating systems. And this is what causes the Android phones could be released at a price below the standard of smartphones in general.

In addition to the licensing factor, an Android phone can also be sold cheaply because of market competition. Unlike the IOS and Blackberry OS that live exclusively on iPhone and Blackberry mobile phones only, Android live in many places Like the Windows operating system that can live in a variety of hardware devices from various vendors. This condition forced the vendor to dare to release Android phones at very competitive in the market. This condition can be understood as if they do not do, cakes in the Android segment can only be taken by other vendors. You know which vendors are already making Android-based phones? Here are some of the list: Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola, LG, Huawei, Nexian, Mito, IMO, Lenovo, Asus, Toshiba, Acer also. Hihihihi, remembered with MS Windows can not run on a variety of device brands not it?

Next few years, the authors predict that consumers will begin to switch from regular phones to smart phones. And because of the flexibility and the number of users, the author of a candidate as the winner of the Android mobile operating system of this competition. At least from the number of users. What about you?
