There are many applications available from the Google Play Store waiting for you to download and install that you cannot use yet. The reason is that they require root access. Root access is to Android what administrator permissions is to Windows.
Many of the best apps require that root access to the internal system for them to run. That means without root access you cannot install them. The apps I’m talking about are the ones that can increase your device’s performance, remove bloatware, increase the battery life and more.
