Speaking to Android Authority, Sameer Samat, president of Android Ecosystem, said the company is “bringing the best of both together into a singular experience” designed to work across devices.
He explained to the outlet: “Over the last year, the teams have come together more closely. Some of the investments we’ve been making in Chrome OS are now happening on the Android side and vice versa. So, over time, you should see a more unified experience.”
While Chrome OS and Android will continue to exist for now, Samat said the integration is already underway internally.
The goal is to simplify the development process for Google’s partners and to offer a more consistent user experience across phones, tablets, foldables, and laptops.
He told TechRadar: “You shouldn’t have to learn a new interface just because you changed screen sizes.
“We want Android to be the most complete and intuitive OS for any form factor.”
The shift comes as part of Google’s wider efforts to push Android’s reach beyond smartphones and into a full ecosystem of connected devices.
This includes wearables, TVs, cars, and large-screen devices like tablets and Chromebooks.
Although Google has not shared a timeline for the full integration, industry insiders suggest the changes could roll out gradually through updates to both platforms over the next few years.
If successful, the move could give Android a stronger foothold in the PC space, an area where Chrome OS has performed well in schools and budget computing but struggled to gain wider traction when compared to Windows and Apple Macs.
