Google’s annual I/O developer conference is almost here, and everyone’s eyes will be on the company’s opening key note. But for the first time in the years, we know that there is little reason to expect big Android OS announcements since Google. Did this last week before.
Instead, we are expecting that I/O’s key note will be about AI (almost), though we know that there will be at least some time to be dedicated to XR.
When Google will be I/O and where you can see
If you are planning to see, make sure to take a lot of time aside. I/O notes usually run for a couple of hours, and even despite the new Android announcements, we will expect it this time.
As my fellow Elison Johnson status Keep it on the weekendThe fact that this year’s I/O key note will be focused on AI should not be surprising. Gemini and her Elk have dominated the program for two years, and Google is involved in AI race with Openi, Meta, Microsoft and more. In fact, I/O kicks after a day Microsoft’s Blood Developer eventWhich should be made to compare behind an interesting back.
It is likely that Google has a lot to say about the new gymnasium features coming to phone and other devices, growing strength models, and hopefully some of Project The updates that will show us the Sky aspect of Google’s AI work.
There will be some XR too
I/O will not be Completely About AI, as Google has already promised updates Android XRAlso, during last week’s Android show the company’s expanded reality OS did not receive much screen time, in addition to confirming the Gemini support, but a Teaser Android Head Sameer Samat suggested that we will at least look at Google’s prototype smart glasses.
Samsung still has to say that Project This year is about to launch, so it may be Google’s last chance of giving details to the software before stealing Samsung light.
Don’t expect pixel or nest hardware
Google Pixel used I/O to launch phones and nest smart home tech, but it no longer looks like this. If we were going to hear new phones, tablets, or wearing, it was probably last week, and Google wanted nothing to remove anything from its AI updates. There is a chance that we will see the new XR hardware, but you should not expect anything ahead.
