'Does it use the Linux kernel?' -Yes. Linux is a kernel, that's the only question that needs to be asked and answered. It is Linux. Every Android phone runs Linux.

Of course Android is not GNU+Linux. No one has claimed that it is, and if someone ever does claim that, they would be incorrect. So great news, you (singular) will not be made to call Android "GNU+Linux"!
