Google is taking a bold step towards the total convergence of its operating systems: Android is preparing to officially land on PCs.

🚀 What's happening?

• At the Snapdragon Summit 2025, Rick Osterloh (Google) and Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm) confirmed that they are developing a common technical platform for PCs and mobile devices.

• The goal: to merge Android and Chrome OS into a single universal platform that works on smartphones, tablets, wearables, televisions, cars… and now also on computers.

🧠 Android + AI + PC

• Google plans to bring Gemini (its artificial intelligence infrastructure) and the entire Android ecosystem —apps, widgets, developer community— to the desktop environment.

• This includes the desktop mode of Android 16, which already allows resizable windows and real multitasking, similar to Samsung DeX.

🔧 What hardware will support it?

• Qualcomm presented the new Snapdragon X2 Elite and Elite Extreme, chips designed for Windows PCs, but that could be compatible with this new version of Android.

📅 When will it arrive?

• Sameer Samat, head of the Android ecosystem, confirmed that the launch is expected in 2026, although there are already prototypes underway.

🔥 Why does it matter?

• This move could shake Windows' dominance in the PC market.

• Google seeks to create its own “one ring”: an operating system that encompasses everything, like Apple with iOS/macOS or Huawei with HarmonyOS.
