Kernel

A kernel is the heart of almost every operating system. It is always loaded in memory at any time and deals with the hardware to provide an interface for the software. It also manages peripherals, memory, interrupts, and processes. Examples of widely used kernels include Windows NT and Linux.

It’s not quite as nice as the Galaxy A54 5G’s 120Hz display, but it no longer means you’re putting up with a screen that’s just “meh” if you opt for the Pixel A device.
