With smart phones rolling all over the mobile market, the competition between operating systems such as Windows 8 and Android is accelerating every day. Customers get stuck in confusion which it comes to choosing from a wide range of operating systems available in the market. Even after coming out with the modified version of Windows i.e Windows 8, Microsoft is yet to make it big in the tech-market. Google has been laying a good focus upon Android apps development ever since Android came into existence, which is why it has emerged as a big success. With huge advancements, Android is now one of the most unified operating system in the market.
Android today boasts of having about 1 million apps in its repository, which has made it a clear winner in gaining customer preferences. Also, the first Windows Phone was unveiled almost 2 years after the coming of the first Android phone to the market. By that time Android had already captured a big chunk of the tech-market share. Android’s association with Samsung laid the base for the ongoing ’Mobile Revolution’. The cohesive relation between these two has led to a systematic growth for each of them.
In addition to this, android has been on the top because of several reasons. It provides a quick and smooth navigation system, so integrating work becomes a when it comes to multitasking. Talking about Windows 8, apart from of being innovative, it must lay emphasis upon other important issues to leave a mark on its users.
Also, Android wins over Windows 8, as it is highly customizable. The quick pace of Android apps has led to the coming of a variety of new apps to the Android market, which has impressed tech-lovers from all over the world. Some very popular apps like Instagram are yet to make it to Windows operating system, which is sure to give its performance a much-needed boost. There are more free apps available for Android users than for the ones using Windows 8. Not to mention, even after 2 years of being in the market, Windows OS comes with a small number of apps, which is affecting its survival in the market quite severely.
Android smoothly integrates everything that Google owns – Google Map , Google News, Google’s Voice Control. Windows must work on gaming and other multimedia apps and take Microsoft’s hardware restrictions off them.
People who are accustomed to Android, are comfortable with its flexibility and faster accessibility. The era of feature mobiles has certainly leaped to the time of modern upgraded software, where the player who can timely upgrade itself according to the needs of the customer will gain the maximum benefit.
