We first heard back in November that Google could merge Chrome OS into Android. Now, an executive has publicly confirmed plans for a merger.

Sameer Samat, president of Android ecosystem at Google, asked a TechRadar journalist why they were using an Apple Watch, iPhone, and MacBook:

I asked because we’re going to be combining Chrome OS and Android into a single platform, and I am very interested in how people are using their laptops these days and what they’re getting done.

    Considering Google’s failure to support the tablet form factor on Android (many 1st party Google apps have much better versions for the iPad), I am skeptical this will lead to anything good.

      I miss the era around the release of Android 4 where there were all sorts of interesting 10" Android tablets coming out.

      Their ChromeOS tablets suck as well. The only reason for me to buy Google hardware is to put GrapheneOS on it.
