Blackberry and Symbian used to be one of the most popular operating systems for phones. Now, you barely ever here about them. Do you ever think Android Will be replaced with another operating system? What are your thoughts?

Yes android will be replaced with another OS, to everything, time time time there is a season, time time time

Okay that was the song we were taught back in high school lol


Thinking about it the Android OS is not perfect apart from customization due to the open source android is whack.

IOS anyday anytime.


So smooth.

Android they trek for where ios they.

Lol

I don't really like iOS at all, the Apple operating system is somehow limited. Forget the fact that the os is very smooth, i will pick freedom/customization over smoothness anytime any day, plus u don't have to worry about lagging if you are using a good android phone.



I don't think we're going to lose Android anytime soon. Because it's not tied to one vendor, which is a big advantage. Plus apps are opened up for anyone to provide - another huge positive situation.

That is not happening anytime soon.

Not impossible but very unlikely.

It would require serious amount of money that only few people would be willing invest to develop a brand new OS from the scratch. We are talking about billions of dollars and at least 10years of development to get to the level that Android is currently in. And even if you succeed, you'll end up with a shiny new OS that nobody will use. From OEM'S down to developers and ultimately end users.

I don't think so. It is the most user friendly os at the moment and no any other os is competing with android.
Using an android os,u can do without other os but when using iOS,u will still be using other os like android.
It is only if a new os is introduce and can browse without loading data on it.

Yes i think so

everything works according to timezones/time frames. When u get to the top, u have nowhere to go than to come down. It may tke a while but trust me another OS will outshine android and that OS will b outshined by another one. Naso life be.

Nobody thought Symbian would be replaced by another OS.

Tor... Them never born the OS sha.

It's cooking... Innovations won't seize until Trumpet sound. Remember what happened to VHS, VCD, Symbian, BB, and the likes. That is life for you, to everything is time and season. Today is Android's day, tomorrow is another.
Even mighty Pharoah couldn't rule forever, and Mugabe can't.

whoever said IOS over Android is joking.

Future impossible tense.

Nothing is impossible. As technology improves, trust me, more innovations is being made. So who knows?

.

Android is a wack OS, if the symbian that was ruling in 2010 could be forgotten in just 6yrs then be rest assured by 2023 there will be something much new and better...


While Android ia still working hard to b lik ios, ios is already cooking something new and awesome..


Tbh no real rich person would pick Android over ios..

Na when you no get money you dey say beer bitter.all those shouting "open source" na money to buy app amr songs them no get.

Speaking of buying, Android should be arrested coz they support piracy and thats why musicians and developers no longer get the rewards for effort spent

Brother take it easy na, when no be fight.

Change is constant so i'd expect a replacement in the near future. I'm sure a Billionaire somewhere is already financing a genius who's working on it.

Google’s “Fuchsia” smartphone OS dumps Linux, has a wild new UI
Taking a look at Google's mysterious third operating system.

The main section of Fuchsia shows a profile picture, and tapping on it will reveal some power controls. Above this section are recent apps, and below is a Google Now-style suggestion panel.

Google, never one to compete in a market with a single product, is apparently hard at work on a third operating system after Android and Chrome OS. This one is an open source, real-time OS called "Fuchsia." The OS first popped up in August last year, but back then it was just a command line. Now the mysterious project has a crazy new UI we can look at, so let's dive in.

Unlike Android and Chrome OS, Fuchsia is not based on Linux—it uses a new, Google-developed microkernel called "Magenta." With Fuchsia, Google would not only be dumping the Linux kernel, but also the GPL: the OS is licensed under a mix of BSD 3 clause, MIT, and Apache 2.0. Dumping Linux might come as a bit of a shock, but the Android ecosystem seems to have no desire to keep up with upstream Linux releases. Even the Google Pixel is still stuck on Linux Kernel 3.18, which was first released at the end of 2014.

Google's documentation describes Magenta as targeting "modern phones and modern personal computers with fast processors, non-trivial amounts of RAM with arbitrary peripherals doing open-ended computation." Google hasn't made any public, official comments on why Fuchsia exists or what it is for, leaving us only to speculate. The "modern phone" shout out certainly sounds like something that could eventually compete with Android, but for now the OS is so early, it's hard to tell.

Fuchsia is impossible to talk about without mentioning a hundred other related projects that also have code names. The interface and apps are written using Google's Flutter SDK, a project that actually produces cross-platform code that runs on Android and iOS. Flutter apps are written in Dart, Google's reboot of JavaScript which, on mobile, has a focus on high-performance, 120fps apps. It also has a Vulkan-based graphics renderer called "Escher" that lists "Volumetric soft shadows" as one of its features, which seems custom-built to run Google's shadow-heavy "Material Design" interface guidelines.

Armadillo, the Fuchsia System UI

This all leads us to an interesting point right now: the Fuchsia interface is written with the Flutter SDK, which is cross-platform. This means that, right now, you can grab chunks of Fuchsia and run it on an Android device. Fuchsia first went public in August 2016, and but back then compiling it would get you nothing more than a command line. Thanks to Hotfixit.net for pointing out that the Fuchsia System UI, called "Armadillo" is actually pretty interesting now.

It's possible to download the source and compile Fuchsia's System UI into an Android APK and install it on an Android device. It consists of a wild reimagining of a home screen along with a keyboard, a home button, and (kind of) a window manager. Nothing really "works"—it's all a bunch of placeholder interfaces that don't do anything. There's also a great readme in the Fuchsia source that describes what the heck is going on.
