Google will launch a brand – a new computer operating system, “Android for PC”, based on the Android system next year. It will also integrate Gemini and the Android AI ecosystem, aimed at carrying out a transparent collaboration between laptops and mobile phones.
At the end of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon product launch event at the start of the 25th, Google made a big appearance and announced that it would combine gemini and the Android mobile phone system for Launch an “Android computer operating system” (Android for PC) next year.
Sameer Samat, the person in charge of Google’s Android ecosystem, said at the launch event:
Given the laptop form factor, we have in fact have chromeos for a long time … Meanwhile, we also have Android tablets. These products have been very successful and gradually evolve towards more powerful productivity tools. I therefore think that the current opportunity is how to accelerate the progress of the AI that we have made in the Android ecosystem and bring them to laptops as soon as possible, while allowing laptops to work perfectly with the entire Android ecosystem.
Samat said what Google does essentially consists in keeping the user experience of Chromeos while rebuilding it with the Android system in terms of underlying technology. The company is very enthusiastic about this combination which will be launched next year and works with partners such as Qualcomm to promote it.
It should be mentioned that Cristiano Amon, the CEO of Qualcomm, also excited the “Android PC” during the launch event on Wednesday. When he is on stage with Rick Osterloh, Vice Senior – President of Google’s devices and services, he revealed that he had seen a version of the “Android PC”. Amon said enthusiastically: “I saw it, and it’s incredible. He performs the vision of the integration of mobile devices and personal computers. I can’t wait to own one.“”
Osterloh has also revealed that Google’s plan is to introduce Gemini, the Complete Android AI battery, as well as the complete community of the application and developers in the PC ecosystem.
Currently, current PC systems on the market are mainly Microsoft Windows and the Apple OS system. Of course, Harmonyos de Huawei also quickly accumulates users.
Of course, although Google does not explicitly say how he will cooperate with Qualcomm on this subject, the underlying logic is not difficult to guess. Qualcomm not only designs flagship mobile telephony processors (such as the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5), but is also a producer of ARM computer flea.
Early on the 25th, Qualcomm has launched the laptop processors of second – Generation, Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Elite Extreme, claiming to be “the fastest and most effective processors of Windows laptops”.
Qualcomm claims that the performance of this 3 Nm processor – is up to 31% faster than the previous generation X elite, or it can reduce energy consumption by 43% at the same level of performance.
It should be noted that, different from the launch rate last year, the new generation PC Snapdragon PC should arrive on the market during the “first half of 2026”.
Qualcomm has not mentioned in the ad if these chips can be used for the “Android PC”. However, given that Google has chosen Qualcomm’s launch event to announce this news, it is reasonable to assume that they will adapt to Qualcomm fleas.
