• There is a huge selection of free and official download applications supported by the device..

• Availability. There are many Android devices on the market that differ in size, color, price, parameters, etc. There is an opportunity to easily choose what suits you.

However, Android also has disadvantages:

• As a rule, at first the system “flies” (it quickly works, reacts and executes commands), but after 1–2 years of use it starts to “slow down”.
• The problem of updates. Since Android is the most popular OS, this affects the fact that older models of phones and tablets quickly remain without support from the manufacturer (system developers do not have time to make firmware versions for all kinds of Android devices).
