What is Google Fuchsia? Is it a new Android?
Google has released its brand new OS, to the public, Fuchsia. Whilst consumers have been using devices powered by Google’s two current operating systems Chrome OS and Android, Google has been hard at work for the last few years on its next operating system and now it is here, but What is Google Fuchsia? Is it a new Android?
The new OS is designed to work universally across devices, so think of it running on everything from phones to laptops to car dashboards and be honest to smart objects like traffic lights.
Google has acknowledged the software rollout is happening but they do not seem to want to make a big deal of it at their major developer’s conference. It is not clear what the next step for the OS will be could it appear on the other smart home devices other made by Google products possibly even a phone or a pixel book.
Should you try Google Fuchsia?
It is honestly hard to suggest that you jump through the numerous hoops, it requires an active Linux build to actually run and even then unless you are inquisitive it is probably not worth that effort required for the average tech fan.

This is still the publicly available open-source code of Google Fuchsia though.The portable Google Fuchsia emulator can helped you spend some hands-on time with an open-source portion of Google Fuchsia without having to spend hours downloading and building which is a great bonus but there are still some prerequisites.

Conclusion
Fuchsia is not tied to a specific end-user experience. Fuchsia is loaded with Google’s Material design found across its Android and Chrome OS products. Shadows are a big part of the whole design aesthetic. The result is an interface with more depth to its appearance unlike other conventional flat OS products.
Fuchsia is trying what Microsoft and Apple already have done in Windows 10 and iOS-to-macOS Sierra Continuity respectively, but in its own way.
Guess what! Fuchsia is Google’s ultimate answer to Microsoft and Apple’s common platforms. Let’s wait and watch, how it plays out.
Exciting times ahead!!!
