The much-talked about merger between Android and Chrome, two different operating systems from Google, could be happening sooner than expected. Would it be first introduced with the Pixel 3?

It has been talked about for the longest time now, but as Computer World reported, things could be a bit more interesting this time. In fact, with the recent statement from Google Android and Chrome chief Hiroshi Lockheimer, it may be safe to assume that something extremely surprising will happen soon.

Based from his announcement, the first version of Android was founded eight years ago. He foresees that people will remember October 4, 2016 eight years from now as well.

This is where "Andromeda" talk kicks in.

For some time now, a number of websites have already tracked Andromeda's existence by sifting through Google's open source Android code. What makes this even more interesting is that there are details regarding the Pixel 3 handset, which is planned for a 2017 release.

To further solidify the chances of Andromeda happening, even 9to5Google's report stated that Huawei is already in the works on something that would support hybrid Android-Chrome operating system.

In a 41-minute long podcast, JR Raphael had a chance to have a chat with Lockheimer himself regarding the news about the Andromeda.

For some, it may initially make no sense integrating Chrome to Android as there isn't much that the Chrome can do that the Android can't. This could be wrong because the operating systems serve different purposes and feels different, especially if viewed as a desktop and a mobile OS.

Another point to look at are the rumors regarding the new Pixel phone, which many believe to be getting a $650 price tag. After what have been with the Nexus 6 way back 2014, Google went back to budget-friendly handsets as the company don't really earn through selling hardware.

The $650 price tag may hint something more than just Google trying to test the waters again with high-priced models. Something like an inclusion of an entirely new operating system.

Also, judging from the video above, the Google search bar transforms to some sort of shape that represents a phone, but before that happens, it first formed a shape something similar to a tablet or a laptop.

It may not be what Google is trying to tell people, but a lot of theories and communities says otherwise.

Perhaps, we'll be hearing about Andromeda or something hybrid soon enough.
