You probably don't need telling that Android is a very powerful and versatile operating system but Google is working on something that might end up as the direct replacement - Fuschia.





In this post, I'll be explaining why Fuschia may actually replace Android

Kernels
Kernels are the core of any operating system, they provide the basic mechanisms around which the os can be built. A lot of the problems Android faces today is as a result of the fact it was built around the linux kernel whicj was not originally intended for it.

As a matter of fact, Android OS was originally meant for digital cameras so on it's core it isn't exactly specialized for what a smartphone should do

So what about Fuschia?

Fuschia is based on a completely different Kernel with 2 key benefits.

1. It is designed with the smart connected feature in mind

2. It's more specific in its code and can be built on a wide range of devices

This kernel is called Zircon .

So what's the benefit ?

The reason that Fuschia is powerful is that this kernel runs on completely everything from phones abd TVs to Fridges and traffic lights.

One OS for everything. As more devices enter people's homes, this would mean seamless integration among devices.

Your music could switch to your speaker when you enter a room and continue in your car when you get in.

Also Fuschia would be built around the idea of voice commands. Less tapping , More talking.

Fuschia would also solve one of the major problems of Android which is Fragmentation.

Fragmentation

Fragmentation is the reason most Android phones don't perform as well as their hardware is capable of.

This exists because Android is a bit of a mess. It has software, kernel and drivers all working together in a slightly different configuration on each device.

That's why Google just can't push an update to any device out there. These 3 aspects have to be decoupled manually.

Google has little control of how users experience Android on 95% of phones.

This is a problem because these OEMs don't have an incentive to keep your device updated. They prefer you get a new device if you want to upgrade so they can make more money.

Fuschia is cleaner built with updates in mind. Fuschia would help Google regain control of the end user software experience.

Fuschia is also written on the Flutter software development kit which is important because this runs on Android too. This would make sure Android apps run on it. You don't expect Google to start from scratch with the already vast library of apps and games available.

So the big question -

When will Fuschia Replace Android?

Considering that brands always make the 10th version of their products seem like the peak of their current product line. Android 10 might be replaced by Fuschia OS.

If it's not, then we should be looking at the next couple of years.

Na after android Z they go release am.. Highest they will do is to rush all the android version so that they can quickly reach Z,they have to complete the whole alphabet a-z, then fuchsia..

..maybe

Nice write up.

Exactly

THAT IS THE PARADOX OF OUR TIME IN HISTORY. THE AGE OF CONSUMERISM, WHICH ALMOST EVERYTHING BECOMES OBSOLETE REALLY, REALLY FAST.

In your spare time ponder over every word below as you read carefully.

"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but SHORTER TEMPERS; wider freeways, but NARROWER VIEWS POINTS. We spend more, but HAVE LESS; we buy more, but ENJOY LESS; We have bigger houses and SMALLER FAMILES; more conveniences, but LESS TIME. We have more degrees but *LESS SENSE (I just hope some how our senselessness will ponder over this, it continues) more knowledge, but LESS JUDGEMENT; more experts, yet more PROBLEMS; more medicine, but LESS WELLNESS.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up to late, get up too tired, READ TOO LITTLE, watch TV too much, and PRAY TOO SELDOM. We have multiplied our possessions, but REDUCED OUR VALUES. We talk too much, love too seldom, and HATE TOO OFTEN. We've learned how to make a living, but NOT A LIFE. We've added years to life NOT LIFE TO YEARS. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but HAVE TROUBLE CROSSING THE STREET TO MEET A NEW NEIGHBOUR. We conquered outer space but NOT INNER SPACE (this I find most important, our innerself is the ONLY BATTLE FIELD and not the avoidable wars, killing one another, conquering of our inner self to incline towards GOOD eschewing EVIL it continues)  
We've done larger things, but NOT BETTER THINGS. We've cleaned up the air, but POLLUTED THE SOUL. We've conquered atom but NOT OUR PREJUDICE. We write more, BUT LEARN LESS. We plan more but ACCOMPLISH LESS. We've learned to rush, but not TO WAIT. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but WE COMMUNICATE LESS AND LESS.

These are the times of fast foods and SLOW DIGESTION; Big men and SMALL CHARACTER; step profit and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but MORE DIVORCE;

Fancier houses but BROKEN HOMES. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, THROW AWAY MORALITY, ONE NIGHT STANDS, OVERWEIGHT BODIES, AND PILLS THAT DO EVERYTHING FROM CHEER, TO QUIET, TO KILL. fancier houses but broken homes.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and NOTHING IN THE STOCKROOM. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time you can choose either to share this insight, or to just delete.

Remember spending some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow and leave your side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and IT DOESN'T COST A CENT.

Remember to say "I LOVE YOU" to your partner and your loved ones, but MOST OF ALL MEAN IT.

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt WHEN IT COMES FROM DEEP INSIDE OF YOU. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
GIVE TIME TO LOVE,GIVE TIME TO SPEAK AND GIVE TIME TO SHARE THE PRECIOUS THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND."

I don't see Google replacing Android with Fuchsia, rather Google is working at a streamlined OS to power embeddable devices like wears, smartwatches and IoT devices.

Hummmm

Madness no get rehearsal. Like sh*t, it just happens.

Great innovation from Google they just knew what I was thinking. With this os, companies like Samsung, Tecno, infinix etc won't be producing same phone with same lazy specs each year. Like, note 1, note 2 note 3 etc with just increasing their camera pixels by maybe 2 differences and increasing the battery by just 100mah just to exploit from us.

I'll love to see this os as soon as possible.

Google won't waste time on a brand new OS without including Android. Besides Fuschia would make things easier and considering the fact Google has introduced Flutter for developers, expect Fuschia anytime.

Awesome

K

dead on arrival..they tried doing same thing with chrome OS,it been a total failure.what about wear OS,android one?.....Google can't go beyond android OS..... privacy invasion has been Google's Frankenstein monster

with the advent of PWAs,I see many operating systems springing up....Samsung and Huawei will likely dump android when PWAs becomes popular.in short , android OEMs are looking for a way to ditch google

Na wa o.......

For real?

You are doing a good job PM news

Anything to make the tech market flow

.

The roadmap for Fuchsia’s rollout hasn’t been set in stone, and individuals familiar with the plans cited by Bloomberg say neither Google CEO Sundar Pichai nor Android chief Hiroshi Lockheimer have formally approved any plan for Fuchsia. Nevertheless, those privy to the strategy believe Fuchsia could debut on smart speakers within the next three years, before potentially expanding to smartphones by 2023.

I dont think this might be true

Thank you for the random fact.
Now the problem is what to do with it lol.

Read up on Flutter, Any Android OEM ditching Google would have to use their own OS and with the millions of Android apps available, creating a new OS would fail woefully
