You already have several options for pairing an Android phone with a Chrome OS laptop, but it's not on the same scale as, say, Apple's MacBook and iPhones. It now appears that upgrades are in progress.
New code snippets reported by Chrome Story indicate that Android and Chrome OS should collaborate more closely in the future, although, for the moment, no official changes are announced.
Among the potentially available features, it's possible to click on a phone number on a Chromebook to instantly call on Android, share Wi-Fi passwords between devices and have a feature universal clipboard.
These are all tips that work between iOS and macOS and Google obviously wants its mobile and desktop operating systems to work more closely.
OneChrome to govern them all
For now, these works look like work in progress, and Google has not officially said anything about it (they have not been reported to Google IO earlier this month). It could be a while before they go online.
For greater peace of mind, connections between Android and Chrome OS are encrypted end-to-end, preventing anyone trying to listen to what you copy between devices.
For now, upgrades are labeled "OneChrome", but that could change. They could be bundled with other Android and Chrome OS integrations, such as instant login sharing from a registered phone.
Chrome OS already has the ability to run Android apps of course. There are signs that Google's engineers also plan to improve this feature and possibly allow secondary loading of Android apps on Chromebooks.
