Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones.Android's user connection is mainly based on using touch gestures , such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, with a virtual keyboard for text input.Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a particularized user interface. Alternatives of Android are also used on notebook, game-console, digital cameras, and many other electronics.

Android start as a Palo Alto-based startup company, established in 2003. That company was afterwards acquired by Google in 2005. The Android platform contains an operating system based on Linux, a GUI, a Web browser and end user applications that can be downloaded. Although the initial manifestations of Android featured a generic QWERTY smartphone and VGA screen, the operating system was written to run on comparatively inexpensive handsets with usual keypads.
