The Android application development is the process of producing new applications for the Android OS. Applications are commonly written in the Java making use of Android Software Development Kit. From the previous few years approximately 200,000 Android applications have been made by the developers for the usage of the consumers to make the Android phones more smart with wider capabilities. Android development has led to the blossoming of the new applications which the clients may use for their daily purposes supporting them from house activities to running of companies.

Unlike the iPhone with only one navigation button (Home Button), Android phones feature back, menu, and multitasking buttons, which gives a superior user interface therefore making Android more user-friendly.
2. Processor speed
The Android is quicker and better than Symbian and iOS because of the CPU performance. The Android work on dual core processors which adds a number of applications with outstanding performance.
3. Internet Speed
When we compare the default browser of the Android with Symbian and iOS here also Android leads since other browsers come with intricate algorithms which slows the Internet spreed. However, Android browser comes with visual bookmarks, which is helpful and easy to use with seamless flow of information.
4. More applications
The Android is built by Giant Google which support around 500000 applications instead Symbian is made by Nokia, which is embedded with restricted applications as it makes them dependent on Nokia. Android delivers the experience of Google calendar, Google earth, Google voice, Google translator, Blogger and Chrome. With the development of the flow of apps in the market, the Android comes with ideal mix of these applications for the comfort of the consumers. The Symbian and iOS has restricted applications constraining their use.
5. Change firmware
In Symbian OS, you can never alter the firmware, but in Android OS you can change it any time the way you want and quickly install the updates which allows you to utilize more applications.
6. Multiple screen keyboards

This also helps store more data than Symbians and iOS.
10. New Platform Developer Kit
The "Platform Developer Kit" is a fairly wise move by Google considering its enormous manufacturer and partner base. You don't frequently conceive of hardware as something that can be "opened," but the ability to incorporate the most fundamental features of Android with one simple kit would make it much easier for hardware firms to start building on new versions of the platform.
Hence Android development has revolutionized the OS systems and apps by delivering more wider features than others which have a limited user applications.
