An interactive guide to the leading smartphones of the year.
What is an Android Phone?
At its core, an Android phone is a smartphone that runs on the Android operating system, developed by Google. Think of the operating system as the phone's brain – it manages all the hardware and software, from making calls and sending texts to running your favorite apps. What makes Android so popular is its open-source nature. This means that any manufacturer, from Samsung and Google to smaller brands, can use and customize the Android software for their devices. This leads to an incredible variety of phones at different price points, with unique features and designs, all sharing the same fundamental Android experience.
