1. Variety: Different phones for different needs and people.
A single phone doesn’t fit the needs of different people, everyone needs a special device for their specific needs, for example, if you were an avid photographer you would want to have the best camera in a smartphone but it is not necessary that a single OEM would meet your expectation, that’s where android comes into play, android is the primary OS of most of the smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, sony, Lg etc so android provides the opportunity for the buyer to have a choice according to his/her needs, not only that, lets be real for second everyone can’t afford a 600 $(~45000) smartphone, in this aspect also android enables consumers to buy a smartphone ranging from as low as 150 $(~10000) for decent smartphone.
2. Customizability: Make your device look and feel like your own.
Again as we mentioned in our 1st point that different people need special devices for their needs, similarly the taste of the way a smart phone’s software/UI looks and feels differs from person to person few people might like a dark theme other a white, few may like a simple UI a few complicated like this on and on… , in this regard android allows for the users to tweak and customize their device according to their taste and liking using different launchers, theme packs, icons packs and various other applications which can make your device totally different and unique from others.
3. Google services: great integration of google apps/service.
Android being a part of google’s ecosystem has the best integration of google apps and services, every google application is built in-house for android assuring best usability and performance from the application such as Maps, Gmail, search, Youtube etc not only that, it is confirmed that android will be the first mobile OS for receiving google apps/services in future.
4.Huge developer base: unlimited apps
A good developer base is very important for an operating system, more the applications an OS has the more will be the users for that operating system, Android has clear advantage here it has got millions of developers creating productive and entertaining apps for the operating system this ensures that there isn’t any lack for the users to play with and use the apps. The credit for amount developers for Android should be given to Google because of their innovative APIs, SDKs and more along with the monetization platform accounts for this huge developer base.
5. Open source: Android belongs to everyone
Open source is not dependent on the company or author that originally created it. Even if the company fails, the code continues to exist and can be developed by its users. Also, it uses open standards accessible to everyone thus anyone can take a look at the source code and start improving upon it, currently, Google develops the Android operating system, which does a very good job but there is every possibility that someone else can develop a better android.
