The Internet company is reportedly planning to build its Chrome operating system for personal computers into its Android mobile-operating system.
Google sets such plans as Android has emerged as the dominant operating system by quite a long stretch. It is also regarded as a sign of the growing dominance of mobile computing.
Combining the two operating systems means setting up Android to run on laptops and desktop computers, which would require big changes.
For instance, Android will have to support the Google Play Store. Chromebooks will reportedly receive a new name to reflect the new OS.
The new operating system is expected to be ready sometime in 2017.
