Have Android tablets been relegated to leisure?

When we tell you more about Android, we emphasize that it is the leading operating system due, possibly, to several factors such as the wide range of devices in both tablet and smartphone format that choose this platform, the range of prices of the same, which can ranging from a few tens of euros, to several hundred, or the existence of a higher number of versions than those that can be presented by its two immediate competitors: iOS and Windows. On the other hand, many companies create customization layers inspired by the green robot software that contribute to further strengthen their leadership.

However, and as in many other areas in consumer electronics, everything is full of nuances and the interface of Mountain View was not going to be less. Next, we will try to see what are all those miniscule but determining aspects that are hidden behind and we will see some of the features that make it the most popular but at the same time, it has a series of pending fronts to solve so as not to lose market share . Do you think in Android There is a lack of innovation in the larger formats that ends up having an impact on the sector of tablets?

Phablet or tablet?

We start with a first nuance that has been gaining importance in a matter of a short time: Currently, in both media we are witnessing an increase in their dimensions. A larger screen, however, translates into different areas of application. In the bigger smartphones, productivity It has also been gaining while in tablets, convertibles have gained weight and aspire to rescue the sector in the short term. However, a new generation of terminals with models like the Galaxy View, could show that in essence, the manufacturers of these devices are still clinging to the terminals for leisure.

The cost of mass dissemination

As we mentioned at the beginning, we currently find several hundred different models that can be useful for a wide range of audiences. However, this fragmentation, also criticized and considered one of the greatest weaknesses of Android, also has its price, and it is the fact that a large part of these tablets, do not offer high performance. This is defined by a very poor performance that prevents the simultaneous execution of several applications, even though they are simple, or an acceptable display of content of all kinds. Do you think that leisure is still the axis of the green robot software terminals?

User preference

Third, we find another of the fundamental axes: The public itself. As we have said on other occasions, consumers themselves are the ones who indirectly choose the direction that new devices should take and make companies end up implementing some trends or others. Currently, in many homes there are several terminals that are mostly used for the leisure. In other cases, when using media in the workplace, a significant number of users continue to opt for other media such as laptops and, recently, terminals convertibles.

Advances in productivity

Android developers have tried to add some new features in their latest operating systems, especially in nougat, to try to establish it as an alternative within the 2-in-1 tablets, which is expected to be widely implemented between 2017 and 2018. Windows 10 is starting with an advantage in this new career, which forces those of Mountain View to incorporate some features that allow you to compete against him. The mode multitasking or split screens, demanded by users for a long time, are some of the elements that we can see in the last of the green robot. Do you think these advances are enough to cut ground?

Applications, another key

Finally, we finish talking about another of the fundamental pillars in the use of tablets or smartphones. Despite the fact that we find an offer made up of thousands of applications, and although these are updated regularly, the truth is that in few cases we see significant improvements that have to do with good performance, or more recently, with a compatibility that makes them suitable for running without problems in larger terminals or convertibles. This could be one of the biggest obstacles in the implementation of Android in the new formats that are now gaining more weight.

As you have seen, the fact that the green robot system is the most popular with more than 1.300 million activated devices does not mean that its position is indisputable and could lose acceptance in the future if its developers do not launch to adapt it to the requests of the public and the direction of the sector itself. Do you think he can turn into a giant with feet of clay that ends up confining him to a few realms in the future? Do you think that in the next versions we will see significant news? You have more related information available, such as some challenges that you will have to face soon so you can give your opinion.
