This is an Android phone. It comes with Android 7.0 Nougat, which is the latest one available for retail devices (I believe there is a Beta release of Android O out right now). It's not compatible with Google Cardboard (virtual reality), it may not be as "fast" as the new Galaxy phones (especially for intense gaming), and it has a pretty small battery. However, for texting, calling, social media, and web surfing, it is pretty comparable to a Galaxy phone. Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, Mario Run, and Pokémon Shuffle run pretty smooth.
