The new Linux-based Google Fuchsia feature

Android and Chrome OS are obviously not enough for Google, as the company is reportedly developing a third-party operating system with the code name Fuchsia. The company for more than a year, writes new functional, and today we have the opportunity to see for the first time the UI of the new OS.

Clearly, Google has great goals for Fuchsia, which may even replace Android one day.Fuchsia

Ars Technica presented the Fuchsia UI. Although the operating system is supposed to be for IoT devices, the UI shows that Google has much larger designs. The new OS is not very functional, but it gives us an idea of ​​what Google is dreaming about.

Before we get started, it helps to watch the video below

The UI focuses on a vertical scrolling of the screen. In the center is a profile picture, the , η ώρα, η σας και ένα εικονίδιο της μπαταρίας. Πάνω από αυτόν τον κεντρικό χώρο είναι οι “Ιστορίες” (Stories), που ευτυχώς δεν φαίνεται να είναι κάποιου είδους .

Instead, it's a place for your recent apps and app groups. Below is a search box and a suggestions, like Google Now, except it can also be used as a launcher. Tapping on your profile picture will give you access to some quick settings.

Once you tap one of your stories, you'll be taken to a full-screen application interface. If you drag & drop a window into another in your story list, you will see a split screen function. It seems that you can combine more than two applications in one go with the simplicity of a mobile UI and the power of a desktop operating system.

There is currently no limit to the number of applications you can all put together, but the new operating crashes if many applications are overloaded. Google could of course limit the number of apps depending on the size of your screen. You may only work with two apps simultaneously on a smartphone, but on four on one tablet.

The remarkable of Fuchsia is that it does not use Linux or GPL - unlike Android and Chrome OS. The interface and OS applications are leaving Java for Google's Multi-platform Flopter SDK.

In essence, Google is trying to use as much new, custom code as possible to develop the new operating system, and we hope to provide a better end user experience in the long run.
