The European Union has imposed a fine of Rs 3.4 lakh crore on Google. The reason for this is that Google uses Android smartphones to increase access to their apps. The statement of Google CEO came after the fine imposed by the European Union. 

He criticized the European Union's decision, saying that the European Union has sidelined the fact that Google's Android operating system competes with Apple's iOS operating system. Google's blog post has a beautiful Pichai article, whose headline is that Android has given more options, not less.

The European Union has given Google 90 days to change this business practice . In response, Sundar Pichai said, "The European Union has decided against Android and its business model. The judgment given ignores this fact that Android phones compete with the iOS phones. Today, there are more than 24,000 devices available from 1,300 different companies at all cost due to Android. These include Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish phone makers."

The reason for the fine-tuning is because Google offers preloaded apps to Android smartphones. In response, Sundar Pichai said, "Generally, Android smartphone comes with 40 pre-loaded apps. These apps are not just the company whose phone is, but it has many developers' apps. If you want to use a different app, browser or search engine, you can easily deactivate or delete preloaded apps and use another app instead. Among them, there are also 1.6 million Europeans who are Apps Developers"

According to the Pichai, a common Android phone user automatically installs 50 apps. Approximately 94 billion applications have been downloaded from Google Play Store worldwide last year. There are also browsers like Opera Mini and Firefox which have been downloaded over 100 million times, while UC Browser has been downloaded more than 500 million times.
