Device Defects
Overheating is a common issue with Android
phones, especially when playing games loaded with heavy graphics or while
indulging in hardcore productivity tasks. The overheating tends to be more
prevalent during summers than winters. The heating issue not just mars user
experience and handling, but it also hurts the phone's battery life.
Android is a very heavy operating system and most apps tend
to run in the background even when closed by the user. This eats up battery
power even more. As a result, the phone invariably ends up failing the battery
life estimates given by the manufacturers.
Storage is also an issue, with most phones having minimal
internal storage. Consequently, storing large apps, videos and files becomes an
issue.
Adding a micro SD card can be a way out, but that move can
hamper the phone's speed.
The phone's efficiency is bound to take a hit as multiple
programs run simultaneously in the background at any given time.
System Defects
Although seamless data connection is no longer a far cry on
mobile phones, Android devices need uninterrupted Internet supply for its
efficient functioning. Google is behind Android and the plethora of Google services
on offer almost mandates seamless Internet connection.
While the many Google apps and services are quite useful,
they are also very susceptible to hackers and their notorious plans. As a
result, these applications get infected even before they get publicly released.
In other words, most of the apps on the Play Store are plagued with malware.
The Android app store is open to every publisher. It's
easier to get apps published in the Play Store as the space is not continuously
monitored. Therefore, most Android apps are half-baked and also not
malware-proof. This nullifies any innovativeness the apps have to offer.
Android's stability and reliability takes a hit due to the
fact that there are several dozens of Android phones with varying
specifications and hardware components. As a result, there arises the lack of
compatibility between the OS and its hardware partners.
While Android's open-source nature makes it easy to
customize any Android device, the same aspect also turns out to be a negative
trait as hackers don't have to bang their heads for hours together to get
through the system and play spoilsport.
Smashing Android from all corners isn't the intent of this
Blog, and everyone agrees that it has its share of positives. Otherwise, it
wouldn't have reached the popularity it has attained today. But, the fact that
the applications aren't built specifically to run on certain devices makes it a
less efficient and seamless system. For instance, IOS is created to run solely
on iPhones. The same thing cannot be said about Android or its devices. This
results in the various devices not interlocking with the OS, causing a
truckload of unsolvable and grave issues.
Even though Many Features with Many Varieties of Smart
Phones are available in Markets Our Time and Money are becoming a big
Constraint. Unfortunately, Android phones, thanks to their chaotic OS and messy
app store infrastructure, are not up there yet when it comes to the bare
essentials.
Defects in Apps and Play Store
Not all the apps available in the store are compatible with
the different levels or ranges of Android phones.
While there are several free apps for download, these tend
to be replete with marketing material and advertisements, making the user
experience jarring and intrusive.
App-crashing or forced closure is a norm with Android
devices and staunch Android phone users have now gotten used to this flaw.
