Google’s long-awaited Fuchsia OS is lastly rolling out, although not on an Android telephone, however its smart-home equipment, the first-gen Nest Hub. The open-source working system has been in the works since at the least 2016 and goals to fulfill the “wants of as we speak’s rising ecosystem of related units.” Even though the new OS replaces the existing Cast OS on Nest Hub, it does not bring any new features or look, 9to5Google reported. It means that all user-facing design elements and overall functionality and options of the smart display would remain the same as before. Currently, it appears to be in the Developer’s Preview stage, and the stable rollout may take some more time. More information is expected from Google soon.

Google formally launched the Fuchsia OS‘ dedicated website in 2019; however, the platform barely highlights its consumer-specific features, even today. Google says that the OS is not a “science experiment” and is being developed to improve user experience on its products. Unlike Android and Chrome OS, which are Linux-based, Fuchsia OS is built from scratch and uses a new microkernel called Zircon. It supports a host of computer languages and runtimes including C++, Web, Rust, Go, Flutter, and Dart. In its current form, it is difficult to speculate the future of the Google Fuchsia OS, but it will likely take on Apple and Amazon’s Fire OS in the full type.

Right now, there are not any non-Apple programs that may provide an entire ecosystem of working programs with tight integration for laptops, smartphones, tablets, wearables, sensible audio system and televisions, and as a person, your finest wager would lie in a mix of Microsoft’s Windows, Google’s Android/Wear OS and Amazon’s Fire OS for all devices mixed. While compatibility between providers has improved over the years, the seamlessness of the integration continues to be nowhere near the form of end-user expertise that Apple manages to offer inside its ecosystem. With Fuchsia, all that will quickly change.
