As I said at the beginning, Android is the operating system - just like Windows.
A Smart phone is a generic term for phones that do clever stuff.
Android isn't a make of phone as such, it is what makes the phone work.

As far as I can tell, from Google, a Smartphone is a general term for a clever mobile phone while Android is one particular make. You can also get Blackberry, Symbian and others.

I don't understand all the fancy terminology, but a similar thing would be comparing a Vacuum Cleaner with, say, a Dyson.

If you prefer the answer in Swahili

Smart ni generic mrefu kwa kile simu wanaweza kufanya.
Admin ni mfumo wa uendeshaji

ok ok Smart inamaanisha nini anaweza kufanya na Android ni jinsi gani


Roy :-D :-D ;-) <3 :-S

An Android phone is a Smart phone but a Smart phone is not necessarily an Android phone

eRRolSheep Report 29 Aug 2013 21:00

Smart es un término genérico para lo que un teléfono puede hacer.
Android es el sistema operativo.
