Three Smart Features In Google’s Latest Chrome OS Update

Detail of a Google Pixelbook Go laptop computer, taken on January 29, 2020. The first is Phone Hub. This allows you to check in with your phone from the Chrome OS desktop. Battery life and phone signal are obvious ones, but you also have recent Chrome tabs, replying to messages, and the ability to start a portable hotspot on your phone without actually touching your phone.

The functionality does look remarkably like Microsoft’s ‘Your Phone’ Android companion and parts of macOS’ Continuity suite, but the ChromeOS offerings offers a tighter integration between Android and Chrome OS, typified by the ability to move recently active Chrome tabs from the desktop browser to the phone, and back again.

Creating a better experience between phone and desktop is a common thread though the new features. Take the improvements to Wi-Fi Sync. While it may seem a small bonus, the ability to log on to a trusted Wi-Fi network that you have signed into on another device is a significant quality of life improvement for many.

Finally there is the updates to Desks, Chrome OS’s way of organising various workspaces. Individual windows can be pushed into specific desks with a simple click, and a quick swipe on the trackpad will switch between desks - or you can snap into an overview to see all your desks.
