A Google executive has reportedly confirmed that the company will combine Chrome OS and Android into a single platform.
This news comes after we reported in November that Chrome OS will be merged into Android.
This also follows Android 16’s release, which brings several desktop-themed features to the platform.

So basically the thing fans have been wanting them to do for about a decade now that Samsung tried doing with Dex. I recall in the mid 2010s people were speculating the super secret project “Fuchsia” was them combining the two. Only to learn it was their embedded OS for IOT things.
