the architecture of the operating system is based on linux, but it was MADE by google and it is called Android- google used C, Java and C++ to create the operating system.
regardless of whether fanboys believe that apple products are superior because of branding or software or what not, there will be and is healthier competition in the android market because of the shared OS. companies are striving to push the OS and the hardware forward. seems like every few months or so theres a new android smartphone pushing the envelope so the talk of androids not being capable of running graal is ridiculous.
Any software problems can be ironed out, graal isn't the most taxing game when you consider there are 3d MMORPGS (not talking pocket legends kids- look at Order and Chaos Online for example) work fine on alot of the more capable droids- tell me graal wouldn't be sick to play on an Xperia Play
