Google is currently preparing a method to use ChromeOS, the operating system for Chromebooks and Android smartphones connected to an external monitor. The project is presented to the manufacturer during a requested event. For the moment, it is not known whether there will be a practical application.
As information on the forum obtained on the site Android Authority. When releasing, Google uses a special version of Chromium OS (open code version of ChromeOS), identified by the internal code “ferrochrome”. The compilation was performed by Android Virtualization Framework, which allows using more installed codes with security.
According to a report, a demonstration was made using a Pixel 8 connected to an external monitor (the device may support this type of connection in a recent update).
De acordo com as fontes ouvidas pelo Android Authorityor Google has not revealed any commercial plans for the use of “ferrochrome” or other such implementation.
Therefore, the idea of connecting a cell phone to a monitor and using it as a computer is not new. A Samsung has already done years with DeXch. Motorola criou o Ready for for the Edge line.
This path from Google to the Pixel line may be an interesting part of getting this type of flexibility. Another scenario will be a company that will provide ferramentas for manufacturers to implement this remedy.
