Development is currently underway for the Googlebook "Mica," one of the models in the Bluey series powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X processor.
Unlike other candidate Googlebook models, details regarding "Mica" remain relatively scarce. However, recent Android desktop build records tied to benchmarks and battery-related references strongly point to this device being a Dell Googlebook.
Development Progress to Date
Development on "Mica" began in early February of this year, inheriting its core configuration directly from the Bluey reference board equipped with the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-40-100.
Because it initially carried over only minimal configuration settings and progressed slightly slower than companion models, early expectations suggested it might not be included in the initial hardware rollout.
Subsequent updates revealed plans for a light bar (later identified as the Glow Bar), OLED display support, and potential integration with Qualcomm's 5G module (QTM series)—though manufacturer details remained undisclosed.
Initial speculation focused on HP or Acer. However, battery code descriptions closely resembling existing Dell Chromebooks, combined with process-of-elimination tracking of development commits, increasingly pointed toward Dell.
Benchmark Discoveries
Further investigation uncovered multiple benchmark entries on Geekbench for a device labeled "Dell XPS 13 (DX13267)" running Android 17.
While full details on this model were not explicitly stated, it was listed with a Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 processor and 16GB or 32GB of RAM. Given that its model number differed from the Windows-based "XPS 13 (DX13260)," it was flagged as a potential Googlebook candidate.
Deeper scrutiny confirmed that the device benchmarked was running a desktop-targeted build of Android 17, with identification strings featuring mica-userdebug…. This strongly suggests that Mica is almost certainly a Dell device.
