One of the essential and preeminent purpose of owning an Android smartphone is to make phone calls and to have an enormous contacts list. The easiest way to remember anyone’s contact information is to save it on your Android phone. With the latest Android update, you can even save address, email, picture and other personal information in your contacts.
