Operating System used by Smartphone or Tablet
OS that is used on a Smartphone or tablet is yet another major feature to be considered before you make a purchase. When it comes to OS that we use in our PC, we have the popular options to either go for Apple’s Macintosh, Microsoft Windows OS or the open source Linux. Windows OS is the winner here since it is very user friendly and got a huge choice of supporting applications and softwares to go with the OS. Similarly smartphones and tablets also runs on OS and the choices are Android OS, iOS, Microsoft Phone 7, Blackberry OS, webOS, Symbian etc. iOS is used only in Apple phones and tablets. Android OS is very popular and used in a wide range of models. Even though Windows phone is not as popular as Android, it is user friendliness and popularity is slowly capturing the smartphone and tablet OS market.
Storage space available in a Smartphone or Tablet
Most smartphone and tablet manufacturers these days are offering 16 GB storage capacity which is enough space for storing pics, songs and videos. However some users like to add additional memory to increase the storage capacity. Devices like Apple don’t come with a memory slot, but other tablets and smartphone comes with memory slots to add additional memory.
Apps Compatibility
One of the important feature of a smartphone or tablet is the presence of Apps. It is similar to using application software in your PC. Compatibility of apps is very important to be considered when you buy a smartphone or tablet. For example: Apple App store has over 300,000 free and premium apps available. Android also have over 250,000 free and premium apps present. Other mobile OS also have apps available, but limited in numbers compared to iOS and Android. The more the number of apps available, the more options for you to find and install the right apps for your needs.
