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.
Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely
correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen
objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has
further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist
watches, each with a specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used
on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.
Android has the largest installed base of all operating systems of any kind. Android has been the
best selling OS on tablets since 2013, and on smartphones it is dominant by any metric. [11][12]
