Android Phones have been around for a while now, they’ve evolved and are getting better by each passing day. Android, being the operating system that most smartphone brands use today, classifies them as “android phones” regardless of their various brands e.g. Samsung, H.T.C, Huawei, etc. The android operating system was developed by Google using the Linux Kernel base, it is an open-sourced operating system that allows developers to modify and customize the operating system for their phone brands. This makes the Android operating system flexible and quite multi-functional. So, they are not android phones just because they do not have tangible keypads below the upper surface of the screen but because of the Linux Kernel operating system that runs the device.
Most mobile and smartphones out there are run using the android operating system and because we have a handful of them, knowing how they stand out might pose a bit of difficulty. Continue with me and we will see those 5 android phones that top the list.
