    Android is an open-source, mobile operating system based on a modified Linux kernel. It was developed by the Open Handset Alliance and is primarily developed by Google. At its core is the Android Open Source Project, which is licensed under the Apache License. However, most devices run the proprietary Android version from Google which includes apps like Google Chrome and Google Play. Over 70% of Android devices use Google's ecosystem, though some vendors customize the interface. Competing ecosystems include Amazon Fire OS and forks of AOSP like LineageOS.

    Introduction:
    Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux
    kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile
    devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android is developed by a consortium of
    developers known as the Open Handset Alliance, though its most widely used version is
    primarily developed by Google. It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first
    commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008.
    Description:
    At its core, the operating system is known as Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and
    is free and open-source software (FOSS) primarily licensed under the Apache License.
    However most devices run on the proprietary Android version developed by Google, which
    ship with additional proprietary closed-source software pre-installed, most notably Google
    Mobile Services (GMS) which includes core apps such as Google Chrome, the digital
    distribution platform Google Play, and the associated Google Play Services development
    platform. While AOSP is free, the "Android" name and logo are trademarks of Google, which
    imposes standards to restrict the use of Android branding by "uncertified" devices outside
    their ecosystem. Over 70 percent of smartphones based on Android Open Source Project
    run Google's ecosystem (which is known as simply Android), some with vendor-customized
    user interfaces and software suites, such as TouchWiz and later One UI by Samsung
    and HTC Sense. Competing ecosystems and forks of AOSP include Fire OS (developed
    by Amazon), ColorOS by OPPO, OriginOS by Vivo, MagicUI by Honor, or custom ROMs
    such as LineageOS.
