Android widgets, according to me, give Android a definite edge over its two nearest rivals- iOS powered devices and Windows based phones.
These awesome widgets on an Android powered device help users customize the lock screen of their device easily, and make the most important information visible without the need to unlock the phone. We also give you the links so that you can download the widgets you think you need most on your device from the Google Play Store without having to hunt for them.

Without any further wait, here are the 10 most popular Android widgets:

1. Digital Clock Widget

The simple widget displays digital clock and current date. This simple widget has a lot to configure for like custom backgrounds, setting alarms, etc.

    2.  Evernote

Evernote is simply one of the best Android apps ever. Infact, it is one of my best loved features on my Android powered cell phone.  It also comes with a widget which reminds the ever so forgetful me of all my must-dos, appointments and allows me to take notes all at one place. It allows me to add Snapshots, Speech-to-text notes, making my life so much more organized. I would be totally messed up without this one!! Add to it the fact that it is totally free of cost. For me, it is one of the best widgets for android.

The useful extension enables you to control standard mobile operations like WiFi, screen brightness, GPS, Bluetooth, Data Sync, etc. with a simple flick of your hands. With this cool widget, you do not need to browse the entire mobile for these simple toggles anymore.

       4.  Facebook For Android

Facebook has become an addiction for most of us. There are so many (like me) who just HAVE to check out their Facebook wall every few minutes to check what is going on! All such people will be glad to know that this small widget allows them to browse Facebook from your home screen itself. The simple and elegant widget has a clean look, and provides a scrollable list of recent updates. Due to the huge popularity of this social networking site, this is one of the most popular and most downloaded Android widgets.

       5.  Car Widget

The widget is actually a scrollable list of extra-large icons which provide access to different apps, contacts, and shortcut while you’re driving. With just a one second glimpse of your phone, you will be able to take care of your very urgent tasks while driving, without the need to take your eyes off the road. If you spend a lot of your time behind the wheel you’d do well to get the Pro version for $2.

       6.  MultIcon

Though I personally don’t like a cluttered home screen, I have seen many friends wanting to have shortcuts to almost all the apps and widgets they use the most on the Home screen. But don’t quite know how to squeeze them all there in that limited space.
If you have been wanting to do that, here is this widget called MultIcon which allows you to place almost double the number of widgets on your home screen.
The only handicap being that you might need to root your phone or even check the settings of your android launcher before you get this free widget working. Also, the icons become too tiny and you are likely to press the wrong one half the time on a touchscreen device.

      7.  Google Now

The simple widget will show you latest updates from service like weather information, upcoming flights, your calendar appointments, and traffic updates on your home screen.

       8.  Audio Manager

Audio Manager is a nice looking widget which gives you the power to control volume using the pop-up adjustment slide bars. The simple widget is designed to help you make life easier.

       9.  ESPN ScoreCenter

This free app is absolutely indispensable for sports freaks. A highly customizable app, it gives you 2 fantabulous widgets. The ScoreCenter allows you to check the scores and the latest information about your favorite teams while the Video widget gives you the access to some of the best sports videos of the day.

       10.  Life Contacts Beta

The small widget developed by Sony pulls in photos of your most contacted people, and puts them on your home screen. The stylish widget also provides an elegant look.

Conclusion:

All the above mentioned most popular android widgets are fully customizable and simple to use. They will for sure make your smartphone experience fast, and easier.
