This is what I understood from all the hubbub around Fuchsia with Flutter powering the interfaces.

  It's not called out in this blog post, but back at Google I/O earlier this year, they did say Fuchsia is powering the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max. So those smart displays Google is making are Fuchsia + Flutter.

    Actually, both Nest Hubs run on the Chromecast-platform, not on Fuchsia[1]. However their UI is actually made with Flutter[2]. However, both devices (as Sherlock and Astro respectively) exist in the Fuchsia repo and so it's safe to assume that they're developing Fuchsia on them and since Flutter is multi-platform they can replace the OS underneath via software update, if they chose to.

    The Nest Hub has one of the laggiest touchscreens I have ever had the displeasure of using. Not a good showcase if you ask me.
