Google is starting to reveal the secrets of its experimental Fuchsia OS
Fuchsia may hold the key to the future of Android, Chrome, and everything in between.
We were expecting to see Google announce Google Fuchsia, or Google Andromeda – a fusion of its Chrome and Android operating systems (OS) – back in October 2017. However, that announcement never happened, and for now, we can only speculate.
What will Google Fuchsia look like? Well, there have been some Chromebooks, along with the Google Pixelbook, that can run both Android apps from the Google Play Store and even an early build of Fuchsia itself – which is also rumored to run Android apps. We think Google Fuchsia, if and when it finally sees the light of day, will be the ultimate Google operating system across all kinds of devices.
But what makes FUCHSIA to make rumours back after 3 years from back 2016 when it was first rumoured on a GitHub.
Theories are quite simple and some saying it could be a replacement for Android or Chrome OS, or both.
Fuchsia’s real promise lies in the fact that it is not another Android. While Android is built as an open-source operating system with Linux kernel, Fuchsia has a different kernel built from the ground up by Google. This gives Google more control over the operating system and ability to design the operating system as an interoperable software, one that works reliably on different device form factors, be it mobile, desktop, laptop, game console or wearable.
As the UI, as seen on an initial version found running on Google Pixelbook, is written using Flutter and its apps are based on Dart, which improves performance and graphical elements. The UI is capable of running at 120 frames per second. The Fuchsia OS in its current form can be run on Android Studio emulator and while Lockheimer’s comments don’t declare the OS as a natural replacement for Android, it does have the might for being the primary OS on IoT devices and could eventually extend to smartphones.
Really, Fuchsia is going to be a Great OS for SmartPhones.

What is Google Fuchsia?
Right now, there appears to be a divide within Google regarding what Fuchsia actually is. While the team working on it says they want Fuchsia to be the ultimate Google OS, running on all of its phones, tablets, laptops and smart home devices – Google’s leadership is still referring to it as an experiment and has made rumors with their Fuchsia development website. That basically means that we’ll just have to wait and see what happens, and How can Fuchsia replace the Android.
What we know for sure is that Google Fuchsia is a hybrid OS that is still very much in developmental Process. The entirety of Fuchsia OS is comprised of two distinct but connected user interfaces (UI): a phone-centric one codenamed ‘Armadillo’ and a traditional desktop UI known as ‘Capybara’ internally, according to 9to5Google.
So far, more is known about the mobile version of Fuchsia than the laptop one, but ArsTechnica was recently able to get Fuchsia running on a Google Pixelbook in a very early state. And, it looks like both versions should be able to run Android apps, much like many Chromebooks in 2019. So, backwards compatibility looks to be something that early Fuchsia adopters can look forward to.
