Google's New 'Aluminium OS' Just Leaked - Here's What We Learned

A Google Chrome Issue Tracker bug report attached two screen recordings that leaked an early Aluminium OS build, and Android Authority uploaded the clips to YouTube.
Google plans to merge ChromeOS and Android into Aluminium OS, which Android Authority reports is `built with artificial intelligence at the core`.
Clips show split-screen Chrome windows, a centered start button, time with seconds, Gemini indicator, and ALOS build ZL1A.260119.001.A1 matching Android 16.
The leak indicates Aluminium OS is progressing as someone runs it on existing hardware, and Google is expected to share more later this year, though no specific release date is announced.
The leak runs on an HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5 Chromebook with Brya, which features a 12th-generation Intel Core processor, and Shane Craig noted the UI resembles unfolded Android phones.
