Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon teases his first look at Google’s merger between Android and ChromeOS.
Google is continuing to slowly tease its rumored plans to bring Android to PCs, merging it with ChromeOS, and now Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon is getting in on the action. He says he’s seen a version of the software, and that he “can’t wait to have one.
” Amon was speaking on stage with Google’s head of platforms and devices, Rick Osterloh, during the opening keynote for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit, where later today the company will reveal its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Before that though, the two execs teased Google and Qualcomm’s future plans together, from automotive to consumer PCs. “In the past, we’ve always had very different systems between what we’re building on PCs and what we’re building on smartphones, and we’ve embarked on a project to combine that,” Osterloh said. “ We are building together a common technical foundation for our products on PCs and desktop computing systems.” He went on to confirm that Google’s plans involve bringing Gemini and the full Android AI stack, along with “all of our applications and developer community,” into the PC ecosystem. “I think this is another way in which Android is gonna be able to serve everyone in every computing category.” “I’ve seen it, it is incredible,” replied Amon excitedly. “It delivers on the vision of convergence of mobile and PC. I can’t wait to have one.” The last we heard of Google’s plans was this July, when Android head Sameer Samat confirmed Google is “combining ChromeOS and Android into a single platform,” following last year’s efforts to begin developing ChromeOS on parts of the Android stack.
