Google has been working on a new open-source operating system called Fuchsia OS since 2016. It is not based on Android. Rather, it’s a completely new operating system that’s being built from the ground up. It can run on all kinds of devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, IoT devices, and wearables. While Google hasn’t revealed its features or when it plans to launch the new OS, Samsung appears to have started contributing to its development.
The new operating system wasn’t open to third-party brands and developers until December 2020. It has now been found that Samsung has contributed new code commits related to F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System). It is an alternative system built by Samsung for managing files on a storage device (eMMC and SSD). F2FS has replaced EXT4 as the preferred file management system over the past few years. The Galaxy Note 10 was Samsung’s first Android smartphone with the F2FS file system.
