Fuchsia OS is the newest operating system from Google that was launched earlier this year. This latest software from the technology giant is already powering the company’s first-generation Nest Hub.

Now, a new job listing from the company, spotted by 9to5Google, sheds light on the matter that Google is looking to expand the Fuchsia operating system to “additional smart devices and other form factors.”

For those who are unaware, Google has been working on this new Fuchsia OS for a few years, developing the software from scratch. It launched earlier this year without any fanfare, powering the Nest Hub, which seamlessly switched from Cast Platform.

The company has been working on adding support of Fuchsia OS on more devices, including the Nest Hub Max and the second-generation Nest Hub. Now, the company is looking to expand it to more devices and not just smart displays.

From the job listing, it appears that the “Fuchsia Devices team” will be working on the operating system and will be responsible for making sure that it can successfully apply the Fuchsia platform to real world products that make a difference to Google and users.

As of now, there’s no information about what new form factors the operating system will support but it’s likely to be the devices with support for Chromecast, Video Conferencing, and Machine Learning capabilities.

There’s also a possibility that Google could work with some of its partners and bring the latest Fuchsia OS to non-Google devices, including products from companies like JBL and Lenovo. Do note that there’s no concrete evidence on where this latest OS from Google is heading and this is just speculation until more details surface online.

Although smart displays are not as popular as smart speakers, there a handful made by big-name manufacturers such as Google. The Nest Hub is one of two smart displays from Google and it has received a significant cut in price, making it a great choice for anyone who plans to pick up their very first smart display.

The Nest Hub which originally launched as the Google Home Hub in 2018 can now be purchased from the official Google Store and on eBay for just $49.99, a discount of $40 off its current price and one-third of its launch price of $149.

The smart display has a 7-inch touchscreen that not only displays your routine but will also provide virtual answers to your Google Assistant queries, unlike a smart speaker which lacks a display. What’s more, it also has YouTube, so you can watch the steps to take for that new recipe you want to try out. It also has support for Netflix, a feature that wasn’t originally available at launch.

When not answering your questions or serving as a hub that allows you to control your other smart home devices, the Nest Hub can serve as a digital photo frame that shows the best of your memories from Google Photos.

At $49.99, the Nest Hub seems like a no-brainer. We will also recommend it over the Lenovo Smart Clock which is currently discounted to $34.99 but has a smaller 4-inch screen and doesn’t support Netflix.

You can grab the Nest Hub on the Google Store for $49.99 in Chalk, Charcoal, Aqua, and Sand. It is available on eBay for the same price but only in Chalk.
