You probably should've led with the fact that this is Chinese phones, not like Samsung and shit.

Samsung has it own OS on some phones.

No they don't; they killed off Tizen over half a decade ago. All modern Samsung devices run on Android. OneUI is a skin, not an OS.

They ~~all~~ mostly run android with GMS. They do apply their own skin, and sometimes Manufactures try to market it as a seperate OS. For example "NothingOS" in the Nothing phones, which is just stock android with a fancy skin applied.
