"I think the opportunity for us that we see is how do we accelerate all the AI advancement that we're doing on Android and bring that to the laptop form factor as rapidly as possible, and also have the laptop and the rest of the Android ecosystem work seamlessly together?"
"Basically, we're taking the Chrome OS experience, and we're re-baselining the technology underneath it on Android, so that combination is something we're super excited about for next year."
"super successful"
Google will merge ChromeOS into Android, re-basing ChromeOS technology on the Android codebase and planning roll-out in 2026. The transition aims to accelerate AI advancements across devices and enable broader deployment of Gemini AI services on laptops and tablets. Chromebooks currently serve low-cost school markets and some high-end models; migrating to Android targets seamless integration across laptops and the wider Android ecosystem. Qualcomm will adapt its SoCs to ensure Android runs well on laptop hardware. The Android codebase also creates opportunities for built-in XR support. AI-driven priorities are the main motivation for the consolidation.
