And then we get to play Google roulette: Which OS will be discontinued this year.

Android as a standalone product gets replaced by Chrome OS on phones, but it sticks around as a runtime inside that. Fuchsia isn't ready for prime time, but we'll add those later!

Google's phone lineup for 2022:

    - Chrome with Android
    - Chrome with Android One
    - Chrome Android Pixel
    - Fuchsia with Android
    - Fuchsia Silver with Android
    - Fuchsia Android Nexus
    - Fuchsia Android Pixel

You heard it here first.

My real question isn't so much what Google itself will be shipping on their hardware, but what all the other phone manufacturers that are currently using Android, are going to be shipping on their phones in ten years.

Maybe a Microsoft Open Source platform that support Windows, Linux and Android Apps and an doesn't need Google Play Services?

I thought it was the other way around — Chrome OS was absorbed into Android.
