The journalist Lance UlanoOff (Techradar) I was interviewing Sameer Samat, the president of the Android ecosystem on Googlewhen he was interrupted by a question of his interviewee. A question that would later give way to receive information that certainly were not foreseen and that is a bomb.
Samat asked Unilaff because he used a MacBook Pro, an iPhone and an Apple Watch, in addition to the applications he used with those devices, in particular to interact with each other. The question took the journalist, who answered, but the best came later.
Google manager revealed that this question was intended to know how people use their devices today and what results they get. With what goal? Simple: Because Google plans to combine Chromeos and Android on a single platform And they are looking for How to improve the multidispositionive experience In that new system. Come on, they will try to do xiaomi with Hyperos or Huawei with harmonies.
Therefore, what is said in the specialized media and in the forums to do some ends up confirming. But How did you do some intuition? Why Google has been recorded for thisAWho have not made it official so far. We leave you some examples:
- At the beginning of 2024, the company announced it I would join part of the Android kernel with that of Chromeos To more easily integrate the IA into the latter.
- In August 2023, Google announced that you are looking for Eliminates the addiction that Google Chrome has chromeos.
- As mentioned above, the possibility of Perform Android apps in Chromeos He also indicated this.
- At one point it was discussed that Google would work A high end pixel laptop pixelMore powerful than Pixelbook and Android instead of Chromeos.
- More recently, it is known Google worked on a new desktop for AndroidWith best multitasking and multitentan tools. In principle, indicate the tablets, but you could easily turn yours into a laptop if you add a bluetooth keyboard.

At the time many speculate It would be the definitive integration of Android and Chromeos. Of course, then Google said that it is an experimental and unaware project of that idea.
However, we cannot know with a certain science: before, why All in Fuchsiaos indicated thatEven if Google said no; on the other, why The project has not been officially canceledEven if we didn’t know more about him. Could it be that Google just wanted to confuse us at that moment so as not to ask too much?
Time and Google are those who will give when and what will happen with Fuchsiaos, Android and Chromeos. They could spend years before knowing it, but we hope it is not so.
