At the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit 2025, Google confirmed it is building Android for PCs. The company is merging ChromeOS and Android into one system. This new system will work on laptops, desktops, tablets, and phones. Google aims to make Android a universal platform for all devices.
Google’s Senior Vice President of Devices and Services, Rick Osterloh, said, "For a long time, Android was separated from Chrome OS. Now, how these two operating systems will merge; with this change, your apps and tools are now smoothly working on a PC just as they do on a phone."
The new system will also include Google’s AI features. On PCs, Gemini AI models, Google assistants, and Google apps will be available. This will let users use AI tools across all devices, not just phones. The integration aims to make PCs smarter and more helpful.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon spoke highly of the project. He said, “I’ve seen it, it is incredible.” He added that it shows the future of mobile and PC convergence. Though Google did not share the launch date, the partnership with Qualcomm shows that PCs with Snapdragon chips will likely use this new system.
The system is expected to run on Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon chips. These processors promise fast performance and long battery life for laptops and desktops. The combination of Google’s software and Qualcomm’s hardware could make PCs more efficient and powerful.
Google and Qualcomm are working together to make the new system appeal to everybody. From students to office workers, it aims to improve the PC experience. Android's popularity and ChromeOS’s lightweight nature could very well place the new system solidly in the center of the PC market.
The first devices with Android for PC may appear in late 2026 or early 2027. The move is seen as an important step in making Android more than just a phone operating system. It could change how people use computers and apps across devices.
