What is Android?
Android is a mobile operating system designed for touch-screen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Furthermore, it is a system developed by Google based on the Linux kernel and other open source software, designed to facilitate the use of a wide range of applications in a simple manner.
It was originally developed by Android Inc, later acquired by Google in 2005, and launched two years later in 2007 as part of the development of open standards for mobile devices. Its main Android source code is often referred to as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and is considered the most widely used mobile operating system in the world.
