It could very well look much the same visually as Chrome OS does now, however.” It was then further mentioned that Andromeda wouldn’t replace Android rather extend its reach and power.
Yet, the Andromeda or Fuchsia as some might want to call it is still a speculation up to now since no confirmations had been made by the tech titan company. As for Google Nexus 7, it was also said that it might not be named after its Nexus lineups, but might be after the Pixel devices’ success.
