We have seen in the past one and a half decade the boom in mobile use and subsequent upheaval in the innovation and numerous improvements in the frontline brand names of mobile phone and technologies. There were hardly any challengers when Apple range of phones which are called as iPhone swept the market with its unique features and remained dominant for close to a decade except for fighting for a larger share of market by introducing phones which produced a upswing in the mobility market depending solely on their cost competitiveness. Even Nokia as one of the largest player could only introduce new features and applications with a focused eye on the cost part. It all went just like that until Samsung introduced its Galaxy range of products which within a few years grown as a formidable opponent to Apple and it became possible because of a new mobile application called Android which within a year of its first introduction took the market by surprising popularity and great favor from all types of users. While Apple still maintains the status quo with its own Apple platform, android continues to engulf every big player in the mobility market. Today even cheap mobile devices with minimum features have started to come with android application. Android changed the mobile market in multiple ways of user preference, cost advantage, easy availability and a host of great features which were just status symbols until few years before.
