1. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF ANDROID IN THE MOBILE MARKET?

Developers can write and register apps that will specifically run under the Android environment.
This means that every mobile device that is Android enabled will be able to support and run these apps.
With the growing popularity of Android mobile devices, developers can take advantage of this trend by
creating and uploading their apps on the Android Market for distribution to anyone who wants to
download it.

2. WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE SOME DISADVANTAGES OF ANDROID?

The disadvantages of android

Apps run in the background

In the older version of Android, most apps always run in the background and come to foreground as they wish. But
in new version of android apps cannot automatically come to foreground. As some apps run in the background then
it consumes mobile battery and your device battery vanishes quickly.

Low specification mobiles run slow

As android is a very large operating system that consumes lot of storage and some default apps also comes with
operating system so low specification devices run slow.

Virus protection
Android is not good at virus protection. Users have rights to download and install apps from other external websites
and these apps may contain a virus and stole your data and information. It is also noticed that some apps in google
play store contain a virus.

Many ads in apps

Most of the android apps are free to use but they come with lot of ads that display on app screen or ads display
when you perform any action in the app.

Not friendly with old people

Old people have a difficult time using android devices because of advanced touch screens. They may have an
eyesight problem or have not used android mobile before.
