At the 2025 Snapdragon Summit held on September 24, Google executive Rick Osterloh and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon took the stage to discuss an exciting new PC project in development—one that runs on the Android operating system. Osterloh highlighted that this innovative device will merge the best features of traditional PCs and smartphones, potentially featuring a hybrid operating system that bridges both worlds. The involvement of Qualcomm’s CEO strongly hints at the use of Snapdragon chips, known for their performance and efficiency in mobile devices.
Both leaders underscored a key shift in the industry: while PCs and smartphones have long operated on vastly different system architectures, efforts are now underway to create a unified technological foundation. This collaboration, they explained, aims to harness the strengths of each platform, delivering seamless integration and enhanced functionality. Google elaborated that by leveraging its Gemini AI model and a comprehensive software stack, it can translate advancements from the smartphone ecosystem to the PC space, promising users an entirely new computing experience.
Despite the enthusiasm, Google stopped short of announcing a specific release date or detailed specifications for the upcoming product, leaving industry watchers eager for more information.
