The new Linux-based Google Fuchsia feature

Android and Chrome OS are clearly not enough for Google, as the reportedly developing a third which has 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 is centered around a vertical scroll of it s. In the center is a profile picture, the date, time, your location and a battery icon. Above this central area is Stories, which thankfully does not appear to be any kind of Snapchat.

Instead, it's a place for recent ones και τις ομάδες εφαρμογών σας. Παρακάτω υπάρχει ένα πλαίσιο αναζήτησης και μια επιλογή προτάσεων, όπως το Google Now, εκτός και αν μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί και σαν launcher. Αγγίζοντας την εικόνα προφίλ σας θα έχετε τη δυνατότητα πρόσβασης σε ορισμένες γρήγορες ρυθμίσεις.

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.

At the moment there doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of apps you can fit all together, but the new OS crashes if too many apps are overloaded. Google could of course limit the number of apps depending on your screen size. You may only be able to work with two applications simultaneously in one , but in four in 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.
