The most impressive physics based interactive Android apps

Most of the Android phones in the market today come with special sensors that detect direction, acceleration, light, ambience and what not! We normally use the basic apps and never get to utilize the true power that lies inside our phones. It's about time we put these sensors to a good use.

In this article, I've rounded up some really cool physics based simulation games and wallpapers that you might fall in love with. I downloaded all of these apps and let me assure you, they are worth the time spent. Some of these are processor intensive so make sure you have removed applications (that are running unnecessarily in the background) before trying these apps.

Are you getting slightly bored of the interface of your Android Phone? Do you want to give your Android phone a complete overhaul?(well, not completely) Then you have come to the right place.


Here are a few apps that can turn your Android phone into a WP7 looking device. None of these apps require superuser permission so there is no necessity that your phone has to be rooted. Just install these apps and your phone is transformed.

Note : This article is updated. I've added better comparisons and more apps
