  • Google accidentally revealed Aluminium OS, a new platform merging Chrome OS and Android.
  • A bug report included screen recordings showing Aluminium OS's UI and split-screen multitasking.
  • The recordings featured Chrome browser and Play Store running on the platform.
  • Aluminium OS introduces a centered start button, differing from Chrome OS's bottom-left placement.
  • Play Store updates on Aluminium OS show an 'updating' screen, unlike Chrome OS's abrupt closure.
  • Concerns were raised about fixing Android for big screens before advancing Aluminium OS.
