Platform Android has always been presented as a negative example in terms of operating systems for mobile terminals, and this is because the huge number of Android terminals with different configurations and components makes it extremely difficult to develop applications. In the image above you have an old workbench of a company that develops applications for the platform Android and these are only part of the devices on which the applications must be tested for compatibility, because in reality a much larger number of mobile terminals with Android is required.
Android has lowered prices and increased choice for consumers (there are over 18,000 different devices available today); It's an open-source operating system that can be used free-of-charge by anyone;
According to the company Google, there are no less than 18.000 terminals worldwide Android active and we are talking about a colossal figure if we consider that Apple has only a few dozen models of iDevices launched in the 7 years of the existence of this type of mobile terminals. In the case of those from Google, the situation is different due to the fact that there are multiple manufacturers of smartphones and tablets, and this greatly complicates the work of application developers, and in the end, users are not really that advantaged if the applications developed for them are not are compatible with all terminals.
