FULL STORY
======================================================================We 
heard more details about ChromeOS' Android upgrades at Snapdragon Summit 2025 
Snapdragon chips will power Chromebooks with the new OS Qualcomms CEO 
Cristiano Amon called the OS "incredible" 

Qualcomm just hosted Snapdragon Summit 2025, and Googles senior vice 
president of platforms & devices Rick Osterloh took to the stage to talk more 
about Android being integrated into ChromeOS  with Qualcomms CEO calling the 
computer-based Android incredible. 

There have long been rumors that Google will more closely combine ChromeOS 
with Android  heres an article we wrote almost a decade ago on the topic  but 
in an interview with us earlier this year, Googles president of Android 
ecosystem, Sameer Samat, officially revealed that Google is going to be 
combining ChromeOS and Android into a single platform. 

Given that Google makes both operating systems, they were already very 
closely linked, but Google plans to go beyond linking the platforms and 
actually build ChromeOS on top of Android. 

As Googles Rick Osterloh said at Snapdragon Summit 2025 (via 9To5Google), We 
are building together a common technical foundation for our products on PCs 
and desktop computing systems.This, Google says, will allow it to better 
leverage its AI developments across its ecosystems by simplifying the efforts 
of its software engineers. Rather than building Gemini integration for 
Android and Gemini integration for Chrome, it just needs to do the work once.

Closer integration should also mean Android apps can be natively run on 
ChromeOS rather than relying on an Android virtual machine emulator, as has 
been the case until now. 

We still have yet to see what the new and improved ChromeOS will have in 
store for us, but Qualcomms CEO clearly has, saying, Its incredible. I think 
it delivers on the vision of conversions in mobile and PC. And I cant wait to 
have one. Based on comments at the Summit, what we will see will rely on 
Qualcomms PC chipsets, and might be coming sooner rather than later. 

High praise, though comments like this should obviously be taken with a pinch 
of salt  Qualcomm is partnering closely with Google on ChromeOS and other 
projects like Android XR. It has skin in the game and is therefore unlikely 
to levy any criticism at its partners efforts. 

Though, as Ive mentioned, hopefully these comments mean the new ChromeOS is 
nearly ready to see the light of day, and that we can judge the OS for 
ourselves. We've got our fingers crossed and are ready to give you our 
thoughts as soon as we can try the new OS out. You might also like Google
