🇻🇳 This article is also available in Vietnamese: Android là gì?

Android is a mobile operating system (OS) currently developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Thanks to its open-source nature (through the Android Open Source Project, or AOSP), Android allows device manufacturers to customize it and deploy it across a wide range of products.

Today, the operating system has also expanded to many other types of devices, such as smartwatches (Wear OS), smart TVs (Android TV/Google TV), cars (Android Auto/Automotive), and IoT devices.

Android uses Google Play as its primary app store, where users can download millions of apps and games, and it is one of the two most widely used mobile platforms in the world, alongside Apple's iOS.
