The development of the Android OS has reached about 13 years, and currently Android has become the largest smartphone OS in the world. Perhaps we have thought about whether the popularity of Android will also shift in the future, like several other mobile OS that were also popular, such as Java, Symbian, and Blackberry.
Recently, Samsung was rumored to be moving from Android OS to a new OS called Fuchsia. The news was conveyed by a leakster from South Korea via a Twitter post.
Samsung: Hello Fuchsia! 👋
(Don't be too excited. It will take a few years for Samsung to adopt it.) https://t.co/LLwFqqS0Bu

The Fuchsia OS itself is also still a development from Google, where Samsung reportedly took part in the development of the OS.

Although this OS was developed by Google, Fuchsia OS does not use a Linux-based kernel, but uses a new coding called Zicron.
The Fuchsia OS was developed by Google to run on a variety of smart products, ranging from smartphones, wearables, tablets, computers, and IoT. This is different from Android which has a different version on each device. And now the initial fuchsia model has been used on Nest Hub devices as a test.
Then when will Samsung start using this Fuchsia OS? It is not known for sure and the possibility is still far from the present time. As this OS is also developed as an Open Source OS, it is likely that it will not be only Samsung that will use this OS.

Samsung itself has made their own OS, namely TizenOS, which unfortunately was not quite successful in its adoption. TizenOS was originally planned by Samsung to be an OS ecosystem for all their products, but was only successfully adopted in some of their wearables and smart TVs.
