2. Android is the world's most popular mobile
platform. With Android you can use all the
Google apps you know and love, plus there are
more than 600,000 apps and games available on
Google Play to keep you entertained, alongside
millions of songs and books, and thousands of
movies. Android devices are already smart,
and will only get smarter, with new features
you won't find on any other platform, letting
you focus on what's important and putting you
in control of your mobile experience.
3. The fastest, easiest way to find what you need
on the web and your phone or tablet. Enjoy the
power of Google search wherever you are.
Browse fast on your Android phone or tablet
with Chrome. Bring your personalized Chrome
experience with you anywhere you go
4. When you sign in to your phone or tablet with
Google, you can access all of your Google stuff
(contacts, photos, Gmail and more) quickly and
easily. You can also enjoy all of your favorite
entertainment across your Android devices
and even your computer — no wires, no
syncing.
5. Google Play is the easiest way to enjoy all your
favorites — no wires, no hassle, just pure
entertainment. You can now read, listen and
watch anywhere you want — on your tablet,
phone, or in any browser at play.google.com.
Forget about cables and syncing: your favorite
music, movies, books, apps and games are
instantly available across all of your devices
and on the web.
6. Millions of people already use Android
because it makes your mobile device so much
more powerful and useful. On Android, the
home screen, web browser, email and
everything in between are designed to make
your life easier. And because Android is open,
you can create a unique mobile experience
that’s just right for you.
7. Put the important stuff right within reach and
interact with your favorite apps directly from
your home screen with widgets — see the latest
sport scores, view your favorite photos, check
the weather or peek at your inbox all without
having to open different apps or leave the
home screen.
8. An easy-to-read notification tray gives you
quick access to your calls, incoming texts, and
new emails in a non-intrusive way.
9. With Android, you can quickly and seamlessly
switch between apps and pick up whatever
you were doing. Juggling multiple tasks at
once on a mobile device has never been easier.
10. Control your Android device with your voice.
Simply touch the microphone on the keyboard
and start talking to write emails, SMS, or any
other text — more than 30 languages
supported. Text appears in real time, so there’s
no waiting.
11. Capture special moments with great photos
and videos, explore your shots and quickly
share your favorites in any way that you want.
12. Your Android device is already smart, and it’s
only going to get smarter. Android was the
first to bring you features on certain devices
like Face Unlock — which uses facial
recognition to let you unlock your device with
a smile, Android Beam — which lets you share
contacts, directions and more by touching two
devices together, and Google Now — which
brings you just the right information, before
you even ask.

15. review (16GB - pebble blue, T-Mobile)
The good: The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes fully
loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G
LTE/HSPA+ 42 capability, a zippy dual-core
processor, and a strong 8-megapixel camera. S
Beam is an excellent software enhancement, and
the handset's price is right.
The bad: The Galaxy S3's screen is too dim, and
Samsung's Siri competitor, S Voice, disappointed.
The bottom line: Pumped with high-performing
hardware and creative software features, the
Samsung Galaxy S3 is an excellent, top-end phone
that's neck and neck with the HTC One X.

17. The good: The beautifully designed HTC Droid
DNA features a quad-core processor, Android 4.1
Jelly Bean, 4G LTE, a sharp 5-inch screen, an
excellent camera, and long battery life.
The bad: The Droid DNA's large size makes it
tricky to fit in tight pockets, and it lacks both an SD
card slot and a removable battery.
The bottom line: With quad-core power, 4G LTE, a
lovely 5-inch screen, and a stunning design, the
$199.99 HTC Droid DNA is currently Verizon's
best Android deal.

19. The good: The competitively priced LG Nexus
4 delivers a pure and polished experience with
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, it's powered by a snappy
quad-core processor, and it's packed with new
photo-editing and camera features.
The bad: The Nexus 4's construction is solid but
uninspiring, its call volume is too low, and it lacks
4G LTE.
The bottom line: While the LG Nexus 4 wins on
internal performance and user experience, anyone
shopping for an unlocked phone should consider a
comparable LTE handset first.

21. The good: The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD
(Verizon) offers fast performance, a big eye-
popping screen, and luxurious design. It also has
great call quality, lots of storage, 4G data speeds,
and unbeatable battery life.
The bad: The Droid Razr Maxx HD's major
weakness is a camera that produces subpar
images. The phone is filled with Verizon bloatware
as well.
The bottom line: Motorola's fast, stylish Droid
Razr Maxx HD offers outstanding battery life, but
its camera captures unimpressive images.
