Google reportedly plans to upgrade Nest device to run Fuchsia OS

Tech giant Google is reportedly planning to upgrade its Nest speakers to “Fuchsia,” which may launch next year.

“Fuchsia” is an operating system that was developed by Google. Fuchsia is based on a unique kernel called Zircon, in contrast to Google’s Linux-based operating systems like Chrome OS and Android.

As reported by 9to5Google, a new prototype device called “Clover” has emerged this week, which is set to run on the Amlogic A113L chip that appears to be a sign of a new Nest speaker in the works.
