The head of Google’s Android Environmental System, the Samit Sarkar, recently confirmed that Android and Chromos will be merged into the same platform, ruling numerous questions about the future of the operating system. It is understandable to combine them. He created a feeling of returning in 2013, and was the first to take place in 2015, but recently, mostly was only able to run Android apps as Chrome Box. Last year, Google announced that the chromos will be built on Android Tech stack, including the Android Colonel.
What is the benefit of integrating chromos and Android?
Android has a huge app environmental system, but many of these apps still struggle on big screens, such as tablets. And Android does not have large multi -tasking or window management, which are important on both large display. On the other hand, the chromosis browser equipment and window management really do the wells well, but really doesn’t support non -web apps.
Chromebooks have long been able to run Android apps, which helps fill some sects of conformity. But those apps often suck to use on laptops with mouse cursor. Some apps are too small and do not make it up to the big screen. The Android Silk app cannot show two threads like a desktop app on Chrome Bock. And there are some just rotating, as the dyspoints don’t always respond to the mouse clicks. Spotif works fine, but its mobile app looks a bit wreck on a large laptop screen, and you have to remember to click and keep the secondary clicks (which feels unnatural on the trackpad or the mouse).
This concrete was already happening anyway: Chrome browser is expanding on Android – an important benefit of desktop Chrome. Android is also getting a Dax -like desktop mode, and as part of it, Google is putting a huge pressure for adaptive apps in Android 16. Working well in desktop mode to Android apps is a part of improving them for chromosis. When Android has desktop mode and chrome extensions, and chrome box can run Android apps, is there any reason to keep them separate? A united OS phone and laptop form factors will accelerate the development time for both, and make developers easier to fill the middle ground where bullets live.
Why did it take such a long time?
For 10 years, a united Android and Chromos have continued. It seems like a logical next step for both Google’s operating system, yet it has never moved forward. For a while it was speculated that Google’s experimental open source Fosia OS may be a united platform, but after years of rumors, tampering and posting of jobs-it ended at some nest centers.
Part of this is certainly that arm chips are eventually faster for laptops. Sleeve -based chrome boxes are not new (a Samsung One returned in 2012), but recently, good chrome boxes came with Intel Core I3 and I5 processors. Lenovo Chrome Book Plus 14 (Google’s new flagship) is quite powerful with the Meditac Commo Ultra 910 chip, the other Chrome Bocus out of the X86 chips and the better life of the battery. Chrome Boxes with Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors – chips that strengthen Windows’s rehabilitation on the arm – is also expected soon.
Android phones and Chromebucks are running on both arms, focusing on a single architecture should allow very easy improvement in this new OS. And if you already have an X86-based chromebook, you hope Google promises to get the remaining years of software support-in some cases a maximum of 10 years.
Unlike Microsoft or even Apple, during their transfer to ARM, Google does not have a large library of X86-compatible chromosis apps to worry about porting.
Will all Chrome Boxes become Android tablets? Will all Android phone pocket size, postable chrome boxes?
As mentioned above, Google is already checking desktop mode for Android phone. I have never used Samsung’s dex, but the concept of robbing your phone and having a complete desktop experience is appealing. If it is minimal than the merger, it will be sophisticated. But there are other implications of better desktop format for Android. Imagine the 2-in-1 separated in running this joint OS. Like a pixel, but good.
Will Chromos change his look to align his eyes with three expressions?
The chromos has a lot of aesthetic buttons ups of aesthetic based on Google’s old material design, while Android is being improved with more youthful and colorful material. Who wins this UI war?
I wouldn’t mind Chromos having a little more fun and being pleasant. It will create an interesting opposite with Windows 11 and MacOS. Please, give me customized options.
Will either Android or Chromeos be re -nominated?
Chrome and Android are both big names. Uniting them under a new name can put the average user at risk of confusing. I will plan that Android and Chromos brands will remain intact. Perhaps they will instead come under the umbrella brand.
As my colleague Nathan Edwards said to me, “It would probably be like Chrome Book, which is enhanced by Android” or ‘Android with Chromos.
Is this the reason why Android pills make good? In fact, this time?
As far as Android pills have arrived (who, be honest, is not really They Away), this future OS can only improve them. But it is still going to try and dedicate the app developers. Google is trying to help eliminate this gap, but Davis still has to take care of a lot and find a lot of profitable to put it at work.
