Top 24 Must Have Android Apps for New Phone

Chrome:

Alike other major platforms, Chrome is also available for Android. This browser takes bit more memory but you can surely turn on data compression in Chrome beta to reduce the bandwidth usage. But we would not recommend you to use Chrome when you have a limited data connection. You can synchronize your bookmarks between phone and PC if you would sign in to Chrome.

Firefox:

This is yet another great browser, which comes with so many free add-ons – just like computer version. We have previously introduced lot of add-ons to make your experience better. Generally, Firefox is used when you want to do blog right from your mobile. We have tried this browser in various circumstances like blogging from mobile, read long article etc.

Opera Mini:

This is the only option, when you have limited data connection. Our few couple of friends are using this browser for a long while and all of them are totally satisfied. But some people are trying to compare Firefox and Opera Mini. You want to read such an assessment, here is our detailed comparison be Firefox and Opera Mini.

MailDroid:

This is one of the best and most popular email client that supports multiple account at one time. You can also use more than one email account in in-built email client but the user experience is not so good when you will be totally satisfied with MailDroid.

If you have decided to use Facebook app and Twitter, you can simply install either official Twitter app or TweetDeck. We often recommend you to use TweetDeck over official Twitter app because you can use multiple accounts using this tool. TweekDeck review.

WhatsApp:

There is no alternative to WhatsApp. This is the fastest growing instant messenger available for Android, Blackberry, iOS etc. This is very easy to add friends if you have the phone number.
