Android

Android and iOS both rule the smartphone market and have received significant makeovers in recent years with new versions bringing fresh designs. Android is now almost 8 years old, and in that time it's gone from a quirky piece of mobile software to a full-fledged Linux driven operating system and powerful brand. The big cell phone companies leave their mark on Android by altering the design of Google's mobile operating system - Stock Android or "pure Android" or "vanilla Android," - just as mother Android did building on Linux.
