Google Fuchsa

Is anyone else just hearing about Google fuchsa this week? What will be the future of Android? It really took me by surprise. The article I read said the Pixel 3 will have the new os.

No, it's really been around for a while... since before or around the time that Pie was announced, even.

UPDATE: OK, it's been QUITE a while. It's been 'known' since 2016.

The note you saw was probably about an indie dev adapting support for it on the Pixel 3XL.

Wow, I wonder how old that article was. I think Google News recommended it lol.

The one about the Pixel being able to run it is not that old, but I have seen News suggest articles from up to a year ago on my feed.

That explains a lot!
