Android and Chrome OS will become one system

Android and Chrome OS will become one system
According to the Wall Street Journal, Google plans to merge its Chrome operating system, which is currently used on laptops and desktop computers, with the Android operating system used on smartphones and tablets. Google has not confirmed that this has been reported. Keeping this in mind, this is what WSJ says, what can be and what will happen:




Virtual number for registering a Gmail account

Chrome OS will be "complicated" on Android;

Google has been working on this association for about two years;

The unified OS will be shown, but will not be released in 2016;

Unified OS was supposed to be launched in 2017;

Chrome OS will remain a supported open source project that manufacturers can use. However, Google will focus laptops on a single platform.

With the understanding that Droid branding is owned by Disney and Lucasfilm and licensed for Verizon Wireless, I’m going to name the combined ChromeDroid unified platform as a shorthand for the rest of this article. There are several important questions that will be answered over the next two years:

Will ChromeDroid be available only on laptops? Or will the platform match Android tablets and phones?

Will it have one user interface or will it have separate desktop and tablet interfaces, such as Microsoft Windows 8 and 10?

Will current Chromebooks upgrade to ChromeDroid?

Many Android devices seem to go through one or two update cycles before they are left. Will ChromeDroid provide the long-term upgrade path Windows and Mac OS X laptops have?

Will Google help solve Android fragmentation by 2017? Android 5.0 Lollipop was released in November 2014. However, almost a whole year later, 76.5% of Android devices that access the Google Play Store still use the older version, according to Google’s own Android panel.

The Chromebook’s security, update, and recovery processes are widely known as safe and easy. Can ChromeDroid provide the same simplicity and security? Or will he have the complexity of end-user management that we see in Microsoft Windows?

Today you can find Android laptops with a touch screen. But these devices usually have the status of rogue mutants with strange powers and are not the main products. For example, the HP SlateBook 14 was introduced in 2014, but is no longer listed as an active product on the HP website. However, you can find it on Amazon. It has a 14-inch touch screen, a 1.8 GHz Nvidia Tegra 4 quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of eMMC memory. It also has a rich set of ports, including a microSD slot, one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, and Ethernet and headphone jacks.

First of all, as you can see, the HP SlateBook 14 has a full-size keyboard and trackpad. But thanks to various software tools, this product will never go into the mainstream. The Chromebook has a chance, but remains to be seen what will happen with this new combo OS. Perhaps this was not so important a few years ago when Microsoft tried to deal with the failure of Windows 8. However, Windows 10, launched earlier this year, apparently fixed many of the problems that made Windows 8 so unpopular. And its hardware, Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book, seem to sell well and are mostly well received by reviewers and end users.

Personally, I need an Android laptop from the moment I tried the T-Mobile G1 back in 2008. G1, as you recall, was the first Android phone. He had a physical keyboard, and I thought it was an extremely useful miniature trackball to complement his touch screen. At the moment, all we can do is wait for the official announcement from Google about this direction, which WSJ says that the company accepts.
