Prior to this, Hiroshi Lockheimer emphasized that Android and Chrome OS will not be merged. The two operating systems will still develop in parallel and meet different market needs, but will still maintain mutual content interoperability.
According to relevant news, Google's mysterious operating system Fuchsia is expected to be applied to various networked devices in the next three years, and will be applied to large-scale devices such as notebooks and mobile phones in the next five years.
According to Bloomberg News, Google plans to use the previously rumored Fuchsia operating system in networked devices such as smart speakers in the next three years, and plans to make Fuchsia available for large devices such as laptops in the next five years, or as small as Currently popular mobile phone products.
In previous rumors, Fuchsia expects to use all devices in a single operating system format, while breaking the current Android, Chrome OS-differentiated platform barriers, allowing all devices to operate on the same operating system platform.
At the same time, Fuchsia is compatible with both Android platform apps, allowing developers to use compatible applications without recompiling existing apps. At the same time, the core architecture called Zircon can drive the library of C language, so it will be Further avoiding the dispute with Oracle on Java technology patents, so that you can get rid of the problems faced by the past Android platform.
In the hardware compatible part, Fuchsia is not only compatible with Arm architecture hardware, but also compatible with Intel x86 hardware design, meaning that it will be more widely supported in the hardware compatible part, and can make mobile phones, tablets, pens Devices such as electricity, desk machines, and IoT devices will be used by the same operating platform, which will be more advantageous for cross-platform development of content.
In the past, Microsoft proposed a similar concept. In fact, through the Windows 10 and Universal Windows Platform forms, it hopes to reduce the content compatibility between different hardware devices, and the operating experience is consistent, but there are still some gaps in the actual level of consideration, for example. Although both Windows PC and Xbox One use Windows 10 as the basis of the operating system, there are still differences in operating experience, and the compatibility of content interchange is still limited.
However, if Fuchsia wants to replace the existing Android platform market size, unless it is quite compatible with the Android platform, it is quite challenging to use another operating system in a short period of time in view of the current development of the Android market economy. .
