Why is there no 3rd proper OS?

So i know what happened with Samsung and their first try with their own OS and that Huawei is making their own thanks to USA... but why isn't someone like ASUS and others like it making their own OS or pay apple to be able to use iOS?

​

3rd OS would help the market and would actually help the future of phones since they could provide an actually good app support and start making their own ecosystems


This isn't to say Android is bad by any means, its just that more OS there are to c...

Dieter Bohn on Twitter: Didn’t really bother posting any head-to-head with the Pixel 5 because the S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max are definitively better in almost all shooting conditions. Google’s insistence on using the same old camera sensor every single year has finally caught up to it.

OnePlus has not released the kernel sources for their devices (again)

Why third party apps on Android have bad camera quality, and when things will improve.

Camera - The original and now the oldest camera API. It's supported on most amount of Android devices but it has very limited features.
Camera2 - Updated version of the original Came...
