yorex2011: since i got my first android a year ago, its made life a lil easier for me....dont get me wrong any smartfone will do(ios, windows) but i'm writing this based on my experience
first and foremost a good android device can save you from a lot of stress and tricky situations,
with an android device you do not need a modem, when u've got wifi and usb tethering: have ur own personal wifi hotspot to connect ur pc to and also help out friends in need of internet connectivity.

utilising ur android device to the fullest is impossible without downloading the right apps...below is a list of awesome apps that can make life easier.
1. camscanner : camscanner is an android app that allows the users to scan documents at very good quality even converts to pdf when u're done (u might need a fone with at least 5mp and autofocus)...the app has helped me out countless times, when u need to fill out an online form and upload documents, u can do that on the go using cam scanner.

2. quickoffice: this is an android alternative to microsoft office on windows and gives u almost all the options u wud get in the windows software. u can create and edit word, excel and powerpoint documents on d go with ur android device

3. tasker: this app is one of the craziest apps i've seen on android.u can literarily turn ur smart fone to a smarter fone.its an app that allows you to programme your fone to do certain things when certain conditions are met.an example of what i did is to programme my fone to be silent whenever it is sunday between 8am and 12pm if and only if i'm in church...so if i go to the church on a monday the sounds are on....if i'm in church on a sunday afternoon, the sounds are on and if it sunday morning and i'm not in d church the sounds are on so it only turns sound off it its sunday morning, between 8am and 10pm and only if i'm in my church environment. there are countless things you can programme ur fone to do

4. gps essentials and google maps: these are gps softwares and we all knw what gps does.the gps essentials gives u parameters such as current speed, latitude and longitude, distance travelled, etc...this really helped me out in my final year project as i needed a gps device for my field work....google maps gives u maps of places and even satellite views so u can never get lost...

5. smart tools; this is a collection of tools that can engineers..it consists of a ruler, diatance measuing tool, angle measuring tool, sound measuring tool, metal detecting tool, a plumbine and flashlight...they all work because an android device has all d hardware necessary to make them work..

6. sensor music player: maybe u're doing serious work and ur hands are dirty and u want to change music on ur fone...no need to worry, just hit the table where ur fone is or wave ur hand over ur fone and the music changes...u can also be walking and u wanna change music without bringing the fone out of ur pocket..just tap ur pocket and d music changes
"ALMOST all the options u wud get in the windows software"
Depends on what you do with a smartphone. Every serious business person in Nigeria should use a windows device QED!

I admit I have not stretched the functionality of my android to the limits but honestly this piece does so much. Even in my office I don't bother anyone to scan docs for me, I just scan with my phone , upload to my mail address and forward immediately. @op thanks for the further enlightenment, I will try the ones that I don't have yet. Meanwhile everything for me is free. I don't buy anything from the app store

Try android weather best weather app.

also musicxmatch player (used it to diss my friends bold 5 over the weekend) use it to get the id of most songs including soap operas. gets you the lyrics discography and all with just about 10 seconds of listening. If you are using android and it is not on your phone then you haven't begun to use android.

mxplayer best video player in the world

mantano reader for ebooks pdf and all. comes with great tools

t2 expense manager. best budgeting app try it out

graph89 a texas instrument-calc on your phone

sleep for android. now that's an alarm clock

praisenote. Good for taking sermon in church

taptu for rss feeds beats the now defunct google reader. try it out

'enigmon. you think you are smart get this game and get your thinking caps on. remember don't cheat

opera mini, whatsapp. duh!

The bro code. Barney stintson's guide to the bros and wingmen.

Trust me on the above apps. Tested a lot in their genre and they came out tops. And I am dead serious about musicxmatch (you would thank me)

charlsecy4:

Who told you Internet data is unlimited outside Nigeria? Have you truly asked questions?

I don't need to ask questions. I'm the man at the other end. Besides, its not like mtn that would not want to extend their data limit above 500mb or airtel that gives u 1gb for 1k5. Its diff man. Unlimited hinternet for free. Lol.
Re: Reasons Why Everyone Needs An Android Device by shereef19: 10:08pm On Nov 26, 2013
android is more than calling it os especially when u have version 4.0 n above. and concerning people that r condemning Techno stay there why everybody buy their own later use x3 of it money to buy Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC while the Techno have better function and stronger battery than them. actually Am not using Techno for now but I will soon join d world. and for d people comparing android with windows phones android is far better than windows e.g can ur window phone read flash or modem. did ur windows phone have tether. e.t.c just use android and c what it takes. even Nokia that doesn't have android os r loosing customer......

Yea nokia on windows os is equally sound. But for the fact that its microsoft and that they are technologically backward among their peers, I don't wish to have anything to do with them...
