Chinese Phone and Tablet Beginners User Guide: All Android Versions 4.0 Thru 5.0 Lollipop: Asus Cubot Huawei Iocean Jiayu Lenovo Oppo Oneplus Star THL Xiaomi Zopo ZTE & Others

Chinese Phone & Tablet Beginners User Guide: All Android Versions 4.0 Thru 5.0 Lollipop: Asus Cubot Huawei Iocean Jiayu Lenovo Oppo Oneplus Star THL Xiaomi Zopo ZTE & Others

This new guide is packed with all the essentials you will need, and contains almost 250 icons and illustrations to help a beginner use an android tablet or phone. The LOOK INSIDE feature previews extracts from throughout the guide, not only the beginning, to give you a better idea of the contents.

This new guide is covers all current android versions starting at version 4.0, released in 2011, right through to the latest version A.0, codenamed lollipop, which was launched in November 2014 and is being updated to millions of handsets.

There is also a section on leading Chinese phone models, advising website names, where you can obtain technical specifications and reviews, and some of the pitfalls of purchasing direct from China.

The guide is aimed at readers who have never operated any Android device previously, and is styled on my existing guide- Android User Guide for android versions 4.0 - 4.4 , which sold almost 900 copies through only two outlets in the last year with an almost 100% feedback. Feedback included words such as- a lifesaver, worth every penny, just right for beginners, well written, clear instructions, brilliant book. The most critical information, which a beginner needs, is explained in detail, click by click, generally in the order that the reader needs it, in the early parts of the guide, plus many links are provided to other external user guides for selected apps, which the reader can consult later. At the end of the guide is a three page summary of the icons and controls used in navigating the Android system, to serve as a reference chart for future use.

Most readers running version 4.4 KitKat will receive a free update to version 5.0, lollipop in any case, so this guide will give them a good idea of what to expect, when their device updates, and readers using the older versions of android- 4.0 - 4.3 will be able to get a feel for this brand new android version, if they are contemplating buying a new device.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR Having retired 2 years ago, after 30 years in export sales, marketing and IT, I looked around for something to fill in my time. I love technology and having owned countless unbranded Android smart phones, tablets and Android TV units, I felt there was a need for beginners' user guides, so I wrote this. I do hope that you will consider purchasing it. Thanks
