Key Takeaways

Qualcomm and Google have announced a joint project to develop next-generation Android-based PCs, conceptualized around the “fusion of mobile and PC.”
As part of Qualcomm’s initiative to expand its “Snapdragon” technology, they are collaborating with Google to develop next-generation PCs that seamlessly integrate Google AI “Gemini” and the Android ecosystem.
We look forward to future announcements from Qualcomm and Google.

On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, US semiconductor giant Qualcomm and Google announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop next-generation Android-based PCs, with the concept of “fusing mobile and PC.”

This is a shocking announcement from Qualcomm and Google. As part of Qualcomm’s initiative to expand its “Snapdragon” technology, they are reportedly collaborating with Google to develop next-generation PCs that seamlessly integrate Google AI “Gemini” and the Android ecosystem.

However, this announcement only revealed the joint development project for next-generation Android-based PCs underway through a strategic partnership with Google. No details such as specifications, product timelines, or even concept images/videos have been released. Naturally, the project name and device names are also undisclosed. We look forward to future announcements from Qualcomm or Google.

Incidentally, about two and a half months ago, on Friday, July 11, 2025, Sameer Samat, Google’s VP of Android Ecosystem (@ssamat), stated in an interview with UK technology media TechRadar (techradar.com) that there are plans to merge Android and ChromeOS. It is unclear if this Android and ChromeOS integration is related to the newly announced next-generation Android-based PC development project. However, it is speculated that Sameer Samat’s announcement about the planned merger of Android and ChromeOS was made with Qualcomm’s current announcement in mind.
