Drone

Drone is a "9G" mobile phone operating system that appears in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online based on Android.

Description
It is featured on all cell phones manufactured by Badger, Whiz Wireless and, strangely, BitterSweet.

Its main competitor is iFruit OS, which is featured on iFruit phones. Drone is humorously described as copying the iFruit, similar to the real world accusations of some Android phone makers, such as Samsung, whose phone models are also represented in the game, copying Apple.

The DJ of Radio Los Santos, Big Boy, mentions that he witnessed two guys fighting at a party over which operating system was better.

In Grand Theft Auto Online, the company appears as one of the minor sponsors on the livery of 190z. It also appears as the main sponsor on the Drone livery for the Desert Raid.

BitterSweet Drone Phone
