New Android 16, Gemini AI and everything else to expect at Tuesday’s keynote

Google I/O, the annual developer conference of the research giant, will start on Tuesday, May 20. It can be said that this event is the most important in the annual evaluation of the company, which provides the company’s opportunity to share a glimpse into everything that it was working on during the past year – and weakens its largest priorities for twelve months.

It is clear that the Google I/O dance card was crowded so that the company was emptied of the Android offer dedicated to a whole week. (See everything announced in Android Show or go to our live blogs to learn how things are running it.) With this event now behind us, Google can focus on its most important basic efficiency: AI.

Google’s offer will come in the wake of three large competitors in recent days. In addition to the Pacific Coast, Microsoft hosts the Build Developer Conference, as it has already been unveiled by the updated Copilot AI app. Meanwhile, at the Compautex exhibition in Taiwan, NVIDIA CEO of Nvidia’s CEO of NVIDIA Partnership with Foxconn to develop “AI Factory SuperCant”, which works by 10,000 Blackwell Ai chips. Mita held the Llamacon AI conference for the first time last month, but Mark Zuckerberg’s CEO of artificial intelligence has hit some obstacles. (Apple will participate in the updated Amnesty International Map on June 9 when its WWDC developer conference begins.)

Android 16

The presentation of the president of Android Ecosystem Samer Samat, who took the position of Burke in 2024. We saw Samat and his colleagues appearing years old, android had not lit up at the annual developer conference in Google. Fortunately, Android Show last week, let the Google mobile operating system consume lights for at least a day.

The presentation of the president of the Android Ecosystem Samer Samat, who took the position of Burke in 2024. We saw Samat and his colleagues show the expressive design of new materials 3, and confirmed what we learned some of the features that were previously leaked, such as “ongoing notifications”. Mateial 3 Expressive also comes to wear OS 6, and the company expands access to Gemini by bringing it to the smart watch platform, Android Auto and Google TV. Android also increases fraud detection features, and a comfortable discovery axis witnessing support for satellite communication later in the year.

When talking about timing, Google has already confirmed that the new operating system will arrive at the time before the second half of the year. Although it was not released stable from Android 16 today, Samat participated during the show that Android 16 (or at least part of it) will come next month to Pixel devices. Although the company covered some of the new features coming to Android XR, the first manager of Android and UX GuEmmy Kim Products said during the presentation “We will share more on Android XR in I/O next week.”

Obviously, it seems more to come, not just for Android XR. We did not get a confirmation Android salad I report that Google can add more powerful pictures, with support for cloud storage solutions. This does not mean that it will not be in Android 16, as it may be just something that the company did not mention in its width for 30 minutes. In addition, Google has released the new Android features in a recent quarterly rhythm, instead of waiting to an annual update window to make up updates. We can see more addition to Android 16 with a year progress.

One of the best places to get an idea of ​​what will happen in Android 16 is in the Beta version, which was already available to developers and is currently in its fourth repetition. For example, we learned in March that Android 16 would attend Auracast support, which may facilitate listening and switching between multiple Bluetooth devices. This may also enable people to receive Bluetooth’s voice on the hearing devices they made with their phones or tablets.

Android xr

Remember Google Glass? no? What about waking dreams? Maybe cardboard? After sending (at least) three XR projects to the cemetery, you think even Google will say enough. Instead, the company is preparing for Android XR version after inspecting the statute at the end of last year. This time, the company says the power of Gemini AI will make things different. We know that Google is working with Samsung on the headphones. Last fall, Samsung hinted that the device could somehow this year.

Whether Google and Samsung Demo Project Moohan in I/O, I imagine that the search giant will have more to say about Android XR and the ecosystem partners that I have brought alongside the initiative. This is in line with what Kim said about more about Android XR sharing in I/O.

Amnesty International, Amnesty International and more artificial intelligence

If Google feels the need to divide Android into its own view, we are likely to get more ads related to the I/O prosecution more than ever. The company did not provide many hints about what we could expect on this front, but if you have to guess, it is likely that features such as an artificial intelligence overview and artificial intelligence put into fundamental updates. I think Google will also have what you say about Project Mariner, the web distribution agent that was displayed at I/O 2024. In both cases, Google is now Amnesty International, and it will reflect all I/O to move forward.

Astra Project

When talking about artificial intelligence, Project Astra was one of the most impressive illustrations that Google presented at I/O 2024. Technology benefited from the latest multimedia capabilities of Google Gemini to provide something that we have not seen before from the company. He is an audio assistant with advanced images recognition features that allow her to talk about the things he sees. Google Project Astra is once imagined providing a really useful artificial assistant.

However, after seeing a personal display of ASTRA, the English crew felt that technology needs more work. Looking at the Splash Project ASTRA project last year, there is a good opportunity to obtain an update at I/O 2025.

Pinterest competitor

According to a report from InformationGoogle may plan to detect it on the Pinterest at I/O. This description is a matter of courtesyInformation, But based on the features described in the article, they found the members of the Engadget team more reminded us of Cosmos instead. Cosmos is a designed version of Pinterest, allowing people to save and manufacture anything they see on the Internet. It also allows you to share your preserved pages with others.

Meanwhile, the Google version will show image results based on your inquiries, and you can save pictures in different folders based on your own preferences. So say that you are gathering a book based on Jenny from BlackPink. You can search for her clothes and save your preferences in a folder, you can get the “Lewks” address, perhaps.

Whether it is integrated into the search or exists as an independent product that is not clear, and we have to wait until I/O to see if the report is accurate and what is the feature already.

Wear the operating system

Last year, wear OS did not mention during the company’s main speech, but Google inspected OS OS 5 during the developer sessions that followed. The company only started offering Wear OS 5.1 to Pixel devices in March. This year, we have already learned on the Android program that wear OS 6 is coming, with Mateial 3 an expression that extends to its façade. Will we learn more in I/O? This is unclear, but it will not be a shock if this is an art time wear os this year.

Notebooklm

Google jumped from the gun and has already launched the independent Notebooklm app before I/O. The application of note notes can be summarized, available in desktop browsers since 2023, documents and even manufacturing podcasts similar to NPR to boot.

Everything else

Google has a busy record when it comes to preventing leaks in its internal ranks, so the possibility of the company’s surprise is low. However, Google can announce something we don’t expect. As always, your best bet is to visit Engadget on May 20 and 21. We will have all the latest of Google and then alongside our live blog and analysis.
