Technically you can't call it "Android" without paying Google for certification and play store/gapps license. It's AOSP.
Just so you know, AOSP is short for Android Open Source Project.
The term "Android" itself is trademarked and can't be used by hardware manufacturers without passing certification and paying Google.
doesn't mean it's not running Android, they just cannot use it for marketing/branding 🥴
