See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a.

Edit: Someone also got doom and Minecraft running on this thing

      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 🥴

          They should just do it recursive like GNU and make it the AOSP stand for the “AOSP Open Source Project.”
