Google Fuchsia OS News & Updates

[sumitroy]

Google's mysterious new operating system looks completely different from Android
Based on Ars Technica's findings, Fuchsia is designed to work on "modern phones and modern personal computers with fast processors" with "non-trivial amounts of RAM." That seems like an odd move for Google, as Android runs perfectly well on budget devices with lesser specs. It's usually third-party apps that require speedy components to perform at their best.
A page has surfaced on the code-sharing website GitHub about the new OS, called — for now, at least — Fuchsia.
It's not based on Android, nor does it build upon the Linux kernel.
There has been no official announcement from Google, and it sounds as if the open-source project is in its early days. "The decision was made to build it open source, so might as well start there from the beginning," Google employee Brian Swetland said in an IRC chatlog shared on Hacker News.

They have contributed enough to android OS and made quite bigger changes, they even got bigger in mobile phone arena because of it. So would be great if they acquire it. :luv

How to Download Google’s Fuchsia OS User Interface on Your Android Device Right Now

It is partly operational and gives you a glimpse at what Google is allegedly working on.

This could be Google’s next big shot at mobile OS after Android. Instead of Linux, Fuchsia is based on a new Google-built microkernel called “Magenta.” Microkernels offer better and faster performance. It might also serve as a replacement OS for Android, but these are just predictions, and we would know nothing until Google opens up about Fuchsia’s purpose.

• 
  download Armadillo APK file and then install it.
  • After the installation is completed, open Armadillo on your phone
  • You will now see Fuchsia’s main UI with a card-based interface. All these cards are empty, and there are many of these cards with no obvious purpose.
  • You can swipe down to the bottom to check out how Google Assistant interface would look like on the new OS. Everything has a material design on Fuchsia, which is clean and speedy. The Google search widget opens quickly with Black keyboard that gives a nice look to the interface. Suggestions layout is also card-based with no content.
  • The “Story Alpha” card has got nice layout that puts all the important functions like Battery percentage, WiFi, Signals, Volume, Settings, Airplane Mode, and Screen Rotation at one place. It also has “Log Out” and “More” options that do not respond when you tap on them.
