At today\u2019s Snapdragon Summit kickoff, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon and Google\u2019s SVP of Devices and Services Rick Osterloh discussed a new joint project that will directly impact personal computing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the past, we\u2019ve always had very different systems between what we are building on PCs and what we are building on smartphones,\u201d Osterloh <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Fr2-P5rgkOQ?t=3171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said on stage<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve embarked on a project to combine that. We are building together a common technical foundation for our products on PCs and desktop computing systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Cristiano Amon Rick Osterloh Snapdragon Summit 2025\"  alt=\"Cristiano Amon Rick Osterloh Snapdragon Summit 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cristiano-Amon-Rick-Osterloh-Snapdragon-Summit-2025.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Osterloh touched upon Google\u2019s efforts to bring its AI stack to PCs. \u201cThis is another way we can leverage all of the great work we\u2019re doing together on our AI stack, our full stack, bringing Gemini models, bringing the assistant, bringing all of our applications and developer community into the PC domain. And I think this is another way in which Android is gonna be able to serve everyone in every computing category.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amon responded to this statement with clear excitement, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve seen it, it is incredible. It delivers on the vision of convergence of mobile and PC. I cannot wait to have one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, we reported that Google is working on a multi-year project to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/chrome-os-becoming-android-3500661\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">merge Chrome OS and Android<\/a>, effectively unifying its current operating system strategy. Earlier this year, a Google exec explicitly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-combine-chrome-os-android-3577035\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">confirmed<\/a> that the company is combining Chrome OS and Android. The conversation between Amon and Osterloh is obviously referring to that ongoing project. The fact that Google is now comfortable talking more about this in public suggests the company may be closer to creating a version of Android that works seamlessly across smartphones, tablets, and laptops.<\/p>\n<p>Google is already evolving Android for bigger screens, with features like a full desktop mode, better window management, enhanced support for external monitors, and apps that can more easily adapt to different display sizes.<\/p>\n<p>While Google hasn\u2019t detailed any plans, we believe the company wants future Chromebooks, and potentially its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-laptop-android-3500619\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rumored Pixel Laptop<\/a>, to ship with Android instead of Chrome OS. When Amon said, \u201cI cannot wait to have one,\u201d it certainly felt like he was talking about an unannounced product. It\u2019s all very exciting, and we can\u2019t wait to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
