Even today Android is a superior product used by the world's top mobile phone vendors Android is a Linux-based mobile operating system that is used to run various kinds of electronic devices, especially smartphones, tablets and TVs. This operating system was released in 2007, but Android-based phones were only marketed one year later.
Android was created by a man named Andyrubin, he was born in the city of California, United States, in October 2003 Andyrubin and three colleagues founded a company called Android Inc. At that time the founders aspired to create a smart operating system specifically for digital cameras, until in 2004, not long after Android decided that the market for cameras alone was not big enough, so Andyrubin expanded his business and released Android as a mobile operating system.
Android Inc. it was later purchased by Google in 2005. At Google, the Android team decided to base their project on Linux, an open source operating system for personal computers. On November 5, 2007, Google founded the Open Handset Alliance, a partnership of dozens of technology and mobile phone companies, such as Motorola Inc, Intel Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, LC Electronics, Inc, and Samsung Electronics. The partnership was created to develop and promote Android as a free open source operating system.
Android officially launched its first mobile phone, the T-Mobile G1 on October 22, 2008. Since then, Android's existence in the world of technology has increased. But unfortunately, this product is not really that popular, not immediately accepted by the public.
Andyrubin and the team fix, they look for what is lacking, they fix what is disturbing. In the end, the Android OS was widely enjoyed, this was due to the intention of the top vendors at that time, such as Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Sony, wanting to shift the iPhone, Nokia, Blackberry and so on.
Vendors who use Android are getting better day by day, their breakthroughs are always awaited by technology hunters. This is what makes Android continue to grow every year.

It was during this period that many Android cellphones began to appear in public. Even in 2012, Android surpassed iOS as the most popular operating system for mobile devices. After that, Android's existence was increasingly recognized and could compete with iOS. Various versions of Android were launched, starting from Android 2.0-21 Eclair to Android 13 Tiramisu which was released on August 15, 2022.
