Android

Android is a mobile operating system developed and controlled by Google, powering billions of smartphones and tablets globally with Google's proprietary services including Google Play Services, Google Play Store, and pre-installed Google apps. While the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) exists as open-source code, the Android brand and ecosystem, including Android Auto, Android TV, and Wear OS, requires licensing from Google and integrates Google services. Google is subject to boycott due to Alphabet's complicity in Israeli genocide documented in the 2025 UN Human Rights Council report and Google's $1.2 billion military contracts through Project Nimbus.
