Chrome OS Canary brings Android 9 Pie to the Pixelbook

The Android subsystem has become an increasingly important part of Chrome OS, but it's still based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. A portion of the upgrades in Oreo and Pie would be exceptionally advantageous for Chromebooks, similar to Picture-in-Picture, the refreshed emoticon set, Vulkan 1.1, and mouse catching. Presently it appears Google is refreshing the Android subsystem straight to 9.0 Pie, skipping Oreo totally.

Chrome Story and Chrome Unboxed report that Android 9 Pie is presently live on the Google Pixelbook, yet just on the Chrome OS Canary channel (the most cutting edge/temperamental form of Chrome OS). A portion of the noticeable changes incorporate another Settings application, which still looks horrendous on huge screens, and another interface for Google Assistant.

 The Chrome OS Camera application has likewise been supplanted completely with Google Camera, which was reputed two months back. It's not clear when (or if) Pie will take off to different Chromebooks, however overhauling the Android subsystem is likely a huge endeavor and will most likely take a while.
