Tablet Guide – Android

Tablets running the Android operating system by Google have grown in parallel with smartphones using the same OS, immediately recognisable by the small green robot that serves as the logo. They use the same recipe for success – an open platform loved by developers and enthusiasts alike, with plenty of scope for customisation, a raft of applications and games, and models in every price range.

Google Android – a free and open platform

The openness of Android attracts many technically proficient users, who take full advantage of the diverse customisation options and settings. Android features customisable areas and the possibility of adding Widgets (small Apps) directly to your desktop to constantly display up-to-date information (e.g. clock, weather information, status updates from social networks, emails, battery status, notes). Of course there are also classic Apps, which you can get through the integrated Google Play store. Google Play now has more than 600,000 apps and games for tablets and smartphones.

Choose from every Brand

Android tablets boast the largest variety of manufacturers and models. Well-known hardware titans produce models for Android, such as Asus, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, and more. Generally, the manufacturers of these models include a powerful set of hardware, which is of course reflected in the cost. Conversely, lower-end models are represented by brands such as 3Q, Goclever, or the extremely popular Czech manufacturer Prestigio. If you are happy with a simple device for viewing multimedia content or surfing the internet, these models are a perfect and affordable solution.
