What’s the difference between Android and Fuchsia?

Google previously said that Fuchsia isn’t a replacement for Android, but it will be able to run Android apps natively. The main difference between Fuchsia and Android is that the former isn’t based on a Linux kernel, but a microkernel of its own, called Zircon.

Benefits and main features The critical feature of Fuchsia OS is multitasking . Users can place several application windows on the desktop at once, “glue” them together, and switch between them, just like we switch between tabs in any browser.

Google says “it’s time” to now bring its mysterious Fuchsia operating system to “additional smart devices and other form factors ” beyond smart displays, according to a number of job listings first spotted by 9to5Google.

Apparently, Fuchsia will become the default operating system of Google devices : Chromebook, Google Glass, Pixel, and Nest (Google’s home automation product). Fuchsia is an open-source product like Linux.
