High-end smartphones and devices are everyone’s favorites, because they speak class and contain stellar hardware that does all the right things for your image.

You would be aware that Android, at its core, is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

One of the best things you can get out of technology is making your life easier by digitizing a huge chunk of your daily routine. Thanks to the smart devices that our phones have become today, we have gotten rid of a lot of stuff, like paper grocery lists, address books, pocket diaries and the like, replacing them with one intelligent device.
