![]() Now, we’re hearing some more information from this same tipster, and the more we hear the more inclined we are to believe them. Among the things I mentioned in those tweets were that Andromeda was being made to run on many kinds of devices, that Allo - which is still confusing - will make much more sense on Andromeda, and that there’s an Andromeda dev kit that… exists. I also went on a tweetstorm of my own with some information that we had heard from one of the aforementioned anonymous tipsters just before the October 4th event, on the off chance that Google was actually going to preview Andromeda. Later, a separate tipster told us that this was due to “hardware constraints and availability” and that older Nexus devices wouldn’t support Andromeda. Around that same time, though, we were told by a source that Andromeda was being tested internally on the Nexus 9 - and found evidence to support such a claim in the AOSP. First, some suggested that a tweet from Android’s SVP prior to Google’s big October 4th event was evidence that Google may tease the new OS alongside the Pixel’s announcement - which obviously didn’t happen. But now we think we’ve heard enough to really start piecing together the bigger picture of what Google has planned for the future of Android…įor being so early (maybe?), we’ve actually heard a lot about Andromeda. ![]() We’ve been hearing tidbits off and on about Andromeda over the last couple of months from a few different places, including a hodge podge of our own sources and tipsters and other reports. It’s Google’s internal initiative to bring Android and Chrome OS together into one platform that’s made to work on all of kinds of devices - phones, laptops, convertibles, and tablets. Andromeda is its codename, a new OS from Google - or at least a branch of an existing one. It has long been rumored that Google is working on converging Chrome OS and Android, but the rumors suggesting that this idea could soon become reality began picking up more steam in recent months. ![]()
