We live in the era of smart. Everything from your phone's camera to the microwave sitting in your kitchen is or will be soon powered by an engine capable of making decisions on its own.

Therefore, it only makes sense that the stock and essential Android apps you use every day should get a smarter upgrade as well. Here are smarter alternatives to nine such apps.

1. Files Go (File Manager)

n addition to offering all standard file management features, Google's Files Go also comes with a handful of intelligent tools. This includes suggestions for getting rid of duplicate files, junk pictures or videos you might have received through messaging apps, and even recommendations for uninstalling or clearing data for apps you haven't launched in a while.

On top of that, Files Go has a sharing utility that lets you send across large chunks of files over a local network.

2. Picai (Camera)

Picai is a free camera app that employs a scene detection algorithm for analyzing what you're trying to snap. It also suggests live filters to make your shot look more appealing.

The app has a clever interface that lets you easily compare the difference before taking the picture and gesture-based navigation for quickly switching between filters. It also works with the front camera for selfies.

3. Smart Launcher 5 (Launcher)

The launcher is your gateway to every other app on your phone. Therefore, how skillfully it does its job matters a lot. The one that comes closest to the ideal is Smart Launcher 5. Smart Launcher, for starters offers a universal search that can surface information from nearly every corner of your device.

What's more, the launcher also segregates your apps into relevant categories so that you can scroll through them with ease. Smart Launcher even has a unique approach to widgets. Instead of grids, it lets you resize them in a free-form way without any restrictions.

Plus, you can enable adaptive themes which personalize various elements by drawing colors from your wallpaper. You can unlock all effects, wallpaper, edit categories, and advanced adaptive icons with the premium version.

4. Truecaller (SMS)

Some Android phones' default SMS apps still don't have great spam protection. Thankfully, Google makes it easy for you to switch to another SMS app.

Enter Truecaller, the caller ID service, which now also keeps spam messages at bay. Truecaller comes with a bunch of other handy features as well, including a shortcut for copying one-time passwords, and smart categories.

5. Musixmatch (Music Player)

Musixmatch might not be the best music identification app, but it's certainly an excellent music player with a plethora of intuitive features. To begin with, the Musixmatch app can display and match lyrics for now-playing tracks.

In addition to the albums you've locally stored, it even works with third-party apps such as Apple Music, Spotify, and similar. There's also a translator utility that can help you learn new languages.

The app allows you to create cards and posters for specific portions of lyrics if you'd like to share them on social media. It features a modern and beautiful design which undoubtedly has zero competition among its peers.
