Google made a version of ChromeOS that runs on Pixel, including external monitor


According to a new report, Google recently showed off a build of ChromeOS running on a Pixel 8 connected to an external monitor.

As reported by Android Authority, Google recently held a “private” event where the company showed off a Pixel 8 powering ChromeOS on an external monitor. It’s not clear why Google did this, as the event apparently never made mention of any intentions to make that functionality more widely available, rather just giving “smartphone makers the tools” to run Android and ChromeOS from the same device. In a second post, this build is shown in action running on a Pixel 7 Pro’s screen rather than an external monitor.
