Google is working on upgrading its Nest Audio smart speaker to run on the company’s own Fuchsia operating system.<\/p>\n
For the last few years, Google has been steadily working on switching its Nest Hub smart displays from running on \u201cCast OS\u201d to the company’s in-house OS, Fuchsia. The original Nest Hub was the first to make the jump in 2021, and the Nest Hub Max made a similar move earlier this year. In all likelihood, the Nest Hub 2nd Gen should get its Fuchsia update soon too.<\/p>\n
Back in October, we exclusively reported on how smart speakers are Google’s next step for Fuchsia, including signs of multiple new Nest speakers in development. At the time, we found evidence to speculate that in addition to supporting the newest Nest hardware, Google would also upgrade some existing speakers to Fuchsia.<\/p>\n
This week, we can now confirm that Google’s Fuchsia team is working on support for the Nest Audio speaker. Internally, Google refers to the Nest Audio as \u201cPrince,\u201d following a long tradition of naming Google Home\/Nest speakers after iconic musicians. In a new Fuchsia code change, a Googler mentions testing the change \u201con Prince.\u201d<\/p>\n
