You probably should've led with the fact that this is Chinese phones, not like Samsung and shit.
Samsung has it own OS on some phones.
They ~~all~~ mostly run android with GMS. They do apply their own skin, and sometimes Manufactures try to market it as a seperate OS. For example "NothingOS" in the Nothing phones, which is just stock android with a fancy skin applied.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
There’s only Samsung, or shit.
It's pretty much all shit. It's just "what flavor of shit would you like today?"
I'm not all that keen on Samsung myself, but the 'and shit' here is a stand-in for the other makers of android phones for the US market. I'm sure google would be happy to supply a list, but I can't be fucked to go find it.
I've got a Huawei tablet post the play store ban, it was a pain to use.
Huawei is not the Android phone other than Samsung.
