Google is officially set to combine ChromeOS and Android into a single operating system. This major step was confirmed by a top Google executive in a recent interview, pointing to a significant shift in the tech giant’s long-term software strategy.
Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem at Google, shared the update during a conversation with a journalist. He explained that the company is actively working towards integrating ChromeOS and Android into one unified platform. This new platform could reshape how people use laptops and tablets, as Google focuses on adapting to user needs in a changing digital environment.
Samat expressed his interest in understanding how people use their laptops today and what kind of tasks they perform. His questions, particularly about why the journalist used a MacBook and how it works alongside Apple’s ecosystem, hint at Google’s intention to deliver a similar seamless experience between devices
This aligns with a report from November 2024 that revealed Google’s multi-year plan to build a hybrid system combining the strengths of ChromeOS and Android. The goal is to create a single platform that can directly compete with Apple’s iPadOS.
The integration is expected to bring several advantages. It will help Google optimize its engineering efforts and improve the app ecosystem by making more Android apps available across devices. For developers, this could mean greater reach and higher earnings as more users adopt the unified platform.
While Google has not yet officially announced what the new platform will be called or when it will launch, the confirmation from a senior executive suggests that the project is well underway. There is also speculation that the integration could lead to a new version of Android designed specifically for larger screens, such as laptops and tablets.
This move marks a strategic step for Google as it works to deliver a consistent and powerful user experience across all device types.
