The South Korean tech big already has a robust foothold in laptops, and makes a number of the higher (dare I say MacBook-esque?) Home windows laptops available on the market.
Now, it’s seeking to consolidate by producing laptop computer merchandise that run on Google’s cell OS, in accordance with a brand new report from SamMobile
The web site claims {that a} vary of Samsung Galaxy Books is in manufacturing that run on Android 17-based software program, with Samsung’s personal One UI 9 layered on high.
This isn’t fairly the outlandish improvement it would seem like, when you think about that Samsung already makes (and has for some years) Galaxy Chromebooks, which run on Google’s ChromeOS.
It’ll nearly actually be transitioning that product line to run on the brand new model of ChromeOS, aka Aluminium OS, which shall be primarily based on Android.

It appears Samsung is looking for a extra constant (dare we are saying Apple-esque?) expertise proper throughout its product line-up. The corporate has gone to nice pains to make the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Extremely play properly with Home windows laptops, however that may’t hope to match the synergistic potential of working the identical OS on every thing.

The report claims that Samsung is wanting into three tiers of Android-based laptops, concentrating on the low-end, mid-range, and flagship classes. So a minimum of one will rival the MacBook Neo.
Regardless of the method, anticipate all of Samsung’s new laptops to go large on Galaxy AI. This has been a significant focus for all of its smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches in recent times.
There’s no timeline on these new Android laptops from Samsung, although we might anticipate Google to announce one thing on its Android 17 and ChromeOS plans at Google I/O subsequent month.
May we’ve got some Samsung {hardware} working on Android 17 launched earlier than the tip of the yr? Right here’s hoping.
