My car’s android unit has some quad core processor , and it instantly boots up and reaches the home screen where as my phone takes almost 30 seconds or a minute to reach the home screen despite having much better hardware.

    Android Auto or Android Automotive?

    The former is basically just a screen your phone is casting to. The latter is a lightweight (stripped down) Android fork designed to boot very quickly and do a couple things very well. It probably never really “turns off” since it still has a 12v connection even when the car is off (why your clock doesn’t reset).

    Android on your phone is a much more general purpose operating system that runs on a (much more limited) battery. It isn’t designed to be turned on and off frequently.
