KaiOS targets feature phones -- a space I'm guessing Google (and know Apple) has no desire to get into. This helps Google to ease along the pre-loading of Google branded apps onto KaiOS devices.
- oscargrouch 8y agoGiven Fuchsia core design, i think they will probably target this space with it, and use the "Android layer" for more powerful phones. I would bet they will migrate Android to run inside ChromiumOS, and make a flavor of Chromium running on Linux and other running on Zircon. For feature phones they would use the zircon+chromium+webish-dart-framework variation and the linux+chromium+android on powerful phone, until Zircon is mature enough to replace Linux in all fronts. At least its what i would do if i were them, and its how i project their future steps in this domain space. So the KaiOS would be competing with the Zircon+Flutter variation, and i guess they are just betting in another horse to make their chances even better to be dominant also in feature phones. Pretty smart move, given they have a lot of cash to spare.
