Examples of Android in a Sentence

  1. David McQueen:

    Google never intended Google Pixel to be Google Pixel, the idea was that they would use the Pixel devices to showcase the Google Android ecosystem, demonstrating to their partners what could be done with top-end hardware and the latest Android software.

  2. Sameer Samat:

    Most Android devices ship with at least two app stores preinstalled, and consumers are able to install additional app stores, this openness means that even if a developer and Google do not agree on business terms the developer can still distribute on the Android platform.

  3. Atlantic Equities analyst James Cordwell:

  4. Jordan Cohen:

  5. Rhoda Alexander:
