A whole new laptop experience could be coming as Google combines its Android apps with PC power.
Google’s ambitions have become one of the highlights of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in Maui, and there is exciting news for laptop and Android fans. Google is finally merging Android and ChromeOS in order to make a new operating system for laptops.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon has revealed that the long-rumored merger between Android and ChromeOS is finally happening, and apparently, according to Google’s Sameer Samat, head of Android Ecosystem, it’s coming next year.
Samat says that ChromeOS has been around for a long time, and with Android tablets becoming productivity machines, the opportunity is ideal for Google to see how it can accelerate all the AI advancements for Android and bring that to laptops as quickly as possible. This would also make laptops and the rest of the Android ecosystem work seamlessly together, which is huge for Android fans around the world.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said during the conference that he’s seen the Android for PC operating system in action, and he can’t wait to „have one“.
