After years of development, Google‘s Fuchsia OS is finally making its debut on real devices. Earlier this month, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) had certified the first-generation Google Nest Hub with Fuchsia 1.0. The company has now confirmed that the 2018 smart display is receiving a new software update that changes its underlying operating system to Fuchsia. The Google Nest Hub (originally Google Home Hub) had launched with Linux-based Cast OS.
This update will not change any functionality of the device. Perhaps everything will remain as it is, except the underlying OS. Since the Nest Hub experience is built with Flutter, the overall user experience should remain the same as well. Flutter, which is an open-source UI software development kit, allows seamless cross-platform development for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Windows, Fuchsia, and the web.
