For those users who are still using Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread) or lower, there are generally two ways to enjoy Google services. In this case you have to buy a smartphone with the latest Android version. Otherwise you need to update the operating system of the phone to Android 3.0 or above.

However, if you can't buy a new phone or have failed to upgrade the phone's operating system to Android 3.0 or higher, you can use some Google products with the phone's web browser.
