A new leak has surfaced, revealing that Samsung is actively developing Galaxy Book laptops running Google’s Aluminium OS, Android 17 underneath, with One UI 9 sitting on top.

Three tiers are in the works: low-end, mid-range, and flagship. The flagship model is apparently quite sleek, but the report acknowledges that Apple’s MacBook Neo may have already forced Samsung to rethink some design choices.

Google’s Aluminium OS project isn’t exactly a secret. It’s a serious swing at putting Android on PCs, with Gemini baked in, targeting everything from budget boxes to premium detachables.

Samsung looks like one of the first major OEM partners coming along for the ride. The transition from Chrome OS to Aluminium OS would be a natural evolution.

One UI 9, Galaxy AI, and a smarter DeX

These laptops are expected to ship with Galaxy AI features baked in, which Samsung has been aggressively pushing across its entire portfolio this year.

An improved version of DeX is reportedly coming, one designed to work tightly alongside DeX on Galaxy phones and tablets. No launch date exists yet. Google I/O 2026, just weeks away, is the likely stage for a software announcement.

Samsung has spent a decade trying to make the PC category matter. Android might be the only card it hasn’t fully played.
