Google just leaked a first look at Android for PC in action

"9to5Google spotted a bug report related to Chrome Incognito tabs published to the Google Issue Tracker yesterday, including two screen recordings taken from a device running Aluminium OS. Google has now restricted access to the report, but 9to5Google managed to pull the videos first. The site also reports that the bug tracker mentioned an ALOS software version - already confirmed to be the initialism for Aluminium OS - and that the recordings came from an HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5 Chromebook."

"The videos themselves - shared to YouTube by Android Authority - add further confirmation that this is Aluminium OS, listing the OS as Android 16, with a build number that matches the ALOS one mentioned in the bug report. It certainly looks like this is an existing Chromebook being used to test the upcoming ALOS experience, which Android head Sameer Samat previously said we should expect to see more from this year."

"As for what we see of Aluminium, it's very much the mashup you'd expect. The taskbar resembles ChromeOS's, but moves the start button into the center, à la Android. There's a status bar at the top, more like Android than ChromeOS, with familiar Android icons for battery, Wi-Fi connection, and so on. The video gives us a brief look at the Play Store, along with some split-screen multitasking."

A bug report on the Google Issue Tracker contained screen recordings from a device running Aluminium OS and revealed an ALOS software version. The recordings were taken on an HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5 Chromebook and show Android 16 with a build number matching the ALOS identifier. The footage demonstrates a hybrid interface that blends ChromeOS and Android elements: a ChromeOS-like taskbar with a centered Android-style start button, a top status bar with Android icons, the Play Store, and split-screen multitasking. Access to the bug report was later restricted, indicating ongoing internal testing.
