However, the Android app experience on Chromebooks is not always completely satisfying for users, as most Android apps and games are not optimized for large screens.

Large screen Android devices are becoming an increasingly popular way for users to run Android apps, with a 50% YoY growth of users engaging with Android apps on ChromeOS last year. Be it watching the latest TV series on Netflix, listening to your favorite music playlist or podcast on Spotify, or hanging out with your friends in one of the millions of experiences on Roblox, ChromeOS has got them covered with the apps they love. Today, we’re thrilled to add to their developer tools with the addition of a Desktop Android Virtual Device (AVD) running Android 12 with the Electric Eel canary release of Android Studio.įor years, ChromeOS has offered users the ability to easily install and enjoy Android apps. We, at ChromeOS, are committed to enhancing developer tools and frameworks that enable Android app developers to optimize their apps for Chromebooks seamlessly.
