Google is rumored to be replacing Android and Chrome OS with Fuchsia within 5 years

Beijing time, July 20, morning news, according to Bloomberg, Fuchsia, the mobile phone and tablet operating system that Google is quietly developing, may replace Android and Chrome OS within 5 years.

But according to CNBC, Google has not actually made any five-year plan. According to reports, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Android and Chrome business head Hiroshi Lockiheimer have not approved any "roadmap". Google issued a brief statement saying that Fuchsia is just one of the company's "many experimental open source projects" but declined to comment further.

Bloomberg News learned from sources that the Fuchsia team's own engineers believe they can start with a small goal, first allowing the Fuchsia system to land on smart home devices such as Google Home smart speakers within three years, then enter notebooks, and finally mobile phones. But Google has not confirmed when this technology may be available.

This could be a way for Google to create a single operating system for phones, tablets, and PCs, something the company has been trying to do for years, while also protecting itself from future lawsuits, since Fuchsia's underlying code is different from Android's, and also a way to address the fragmentation problem of Android (where users can't expect the same features from every Android phone), which has plagued Google for years.

But it is not easy for Google to abandon Android. According to a source who told Bloomberg, Google may not be that serious about the idea. The source said that this is a "project to retain senior engineers" and is designed to keep Google's talents busy so that they will not leave and join Google's competitors.
