Google has begun development on a new board codenamed "Annite," expanding its "Bluey" family of Googlebooks powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processors.
Currently, two other devices powered by the same chip are known to be in active development: HP’s "Quartz" and Dell’s "Mica." Annite now stands to become the third entry in this growing lineup.
Here is a breakdown of what we know so far about the newly discovered Annite board.
Annite Is the Third Development Board in the Bluey Family
Bluey serves as the reference board design for Googlebooks equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X series chips. Previous developments have shown that Quartz and Mica are slated to become commercial Googlebooks from HP and Dell, respectively.
The newly spotted Annite is another member of this Bluey line, but its underlying design is copied directly from Mica. Code commits even note that developers have "verified that the binary boots successfully to OS on Mica."
As a result, Annite shares nearly all core specifications with Mica, as well as key development personnel. This strongly hints that Annite could be a second Snapdragon X Googlebook in the works from Dell.
What We Know So Far
At present, concrete details remain limited beyond the fact that Annite’s design is cloned from Mica. However, Mica is already well along in development, with key hardware specs surfacing through source code and benchmark listings. Given that Mica is expected to launch with the initial wave of devices in fall 2026, Annite likely enters development at a relatively mature stage.
Furthermore, with next-generation Googlebooks powered by the "Calypso" chip family already underway, adding a new model on the current platform points to a strategic move: rather than building from scratch, leveraging Mica’s existing architecture enables a quick-turnaround launch for a sister or derivative device.
Either way, "Annite" is highly likely to be released by Dell alongside "Mica." Whether it debuts in the initial fall 2026 rollout or arrives shortly after, it represents a compelling entry in the expanding Snapdragon X ecosystem.
