We’ve been tracking Google’s mysterious Fuchsia operating system for several years, waiting for the software giant to finally unveil the OS that’s expected to replace …
that allows developers to code an app once and then release it on iPhone, Android — and, yes, Fuchsia — at once.
Improved security and privacy features and iOS-like fast OS updates are also in the cards for Fuchsia, which makes it so attractive in the first place. Google’s inability to control software updates on Android has been a significant disadvantage compared to iOS. But Google will take things slow. Before we get to see Fuchsia on Pixels, Android phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and other devices, Google will test it on Nest gadgets. The first smart speaker to run Fuchsia is a smart screen, the first-gen Nest Hub released in 2018.that the Fuchsia update has started rolling out. Fuchsia will not replace any of the Nest Hub features, and owners will not even be aware that the smart display will run Fuchsia OS instead of the Linux-based Cast OS.
This soft launch will allow Google to see how Fuchsia behaves on commercial devices as development continues. There’s no telling when Fuchsia will replace Android, but the Nest Hub upgrade to Google’s brand new OS teases the way Pixel phones might be ported to Fuchsia. The upgrade might be just as seamless, and most users will not even know it happened.
