@JasonLD There is no Samsung OS. All of Samsung's phones use Android OS.

Sorry but One UI is not an OS.

"Is android OS?"

Yes Android is the OS. 

"And is ONE UI using android? "

One UI sits on top of Android. Like the paint sits on your house. 

"Can you have ONE UI without Android?"

No. It requires an OS. The OS is Android.

if ONE UI contains android, ONE UI could be called an OS
similar to Linux kernel and Debian and Gnome3

It does not. It is layered on top of Android.
