The annual conference of Google E / S developers will start on May 20 and for the first time, the company is organizing a dedicated showcase a week earlier, which indicates that it could have too many news for its typical E / S speech. The Android program: E / S Edition, a window dedicated for the Android ecosystem, takes place today and we block it live here.
The event will start at 1 p.m. he / 10 a.m. PT, and it will broadcast at that time Google’s Android YouTube Channel. As it seems to be pre-recorded, we have integrated it below, so you can look at it here. Or, if you don’t like watching a video while you work, our live blog based on the text and the image is below, then scroll.
Android is partially developed outdoors, so there is already an indication of what could come with Android 16. So far, it is A visual overhaul Of some of the main characteristics of the operating system, such as notification shade, a vision of Apple live activities to follow current events and perhaps a Samsung Dex as “Office mode” For Android phones. Google itself seemed accidentally publishing His own blog article detailing his research on user interfaces and expressive equipment, to disassemble it quickly after. Unfortunately (or fortunately for Android lovers), Internet never forget.
Based on Android 16 developer 16We also have a feeling of small improvements and features that arrive. We learned in March that the next platform would provide Auracast support, for example. It is not clear if Google will plunge into each small change that takes place on today’s window, so stay to see what the company deems to mention this afternoon.
Before forgetting, the E / S 2025 start on May 20 at 1 p.m. he / 10 a.m. with Google’s speech, generally a series of updates on Android, Search, Google Workspace and Gemini. It should be noted: Google generally does not reserve separate time for Android announcements. The company said there will be Android news at E / S, but the safe bet is that Gemini will be the star. We expect Google to share with Gemini updates, as well as Android XR News and perhaps other demonstrations of experimental projects like Project Astra.
Google’s Keynote of E / S will be available to monitor Google’s YouTube channel And here on Engadget once the livestream is lifted on May 20 at 1 p.m. he.
Live86 updates
With that, we are closing this blog live but join us next week for more live blogs! There will be presentations of the CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, the Conference of Construction Developers of Microsoft and Google I / O 2025, and we will blog the last two live! The calendar of technical events is packed for the coming weeks and you will get all the news here on Engadget. Thank you as always for joining us and having a wonderful week to come.
We have already published a trio of articles on today’s news, which Aron has usefully left in this live blog. If you prefer a single page with all the news in one place, look no further than our overview of everything Google has announced on Android program today.
Samsung has announcement That Gemini will come to Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds Devices “in the coming months”, and that would mark the first time that Gemini appears on the portable range of Samsung. The company added that “the activation of Gemini will be more fluid than ever when it is twinned with the Galaxy Buds3 series”.
Yes, this is an interesting approach to Google to get out of things like this before Io. That said, I bet that they have retained some of the most juicy things for next week, so you’d better take care of the second round on May 20.
The Android show ended and we are about to finish this blog live. A tight presentation of 30 minutes is always nice, but that asks a question that we asked last night after the unpacking of 15 minutes of Samsung: could that have been an email? Anyway, Google has published a bunch of blog articles detailing the new features, and our team is currently digging there to make sure that we have not lacked any nuggets.
Yes, gemini stuff seems useful. But I must admit that I just don’t have as many questions that must answer. At least not those that AI can manage in a way that I want for the moment.
Yes, Material 3 expressive resembles a small but significant upgrade to the language and the design interface of Android. I can’t wait to see if Gemini made a significant difference in assistant experiences on Wear OS and Android Auto.
And you Igor, big points to take away from the Android show?
The evolution of the Find hub is also interesting. I am not a large, intelligent label person, but there are niche situations where I want to keep an eye on certain things and I have the impression that this change opens this for me.
I really like the expressive Material 3 look. It is shiny, it is colorful and dynamic in a way that I think that more dare should be.
Oh wait, I guess that’s it. A very subtle teasing and a rapid reminder of all the new nice phones running Android for sale today.
What did you think of the show, Sam? Ballowing facts?
Dieter Bohn, director, product narrative for Android, shows the latest Android phones.
Android 16 adds new features for detecting scam and peripheral search
Google
The Android 16 version of this summer will add several new updated safety measures that should make criminals more difficult for Android users or take advantage of stolen Android phones. After introducing AI features in March which detect fraudulent messages based on common language models, Google is working on teaching its models to recognize a wider range of scam arches, such as those Unpaid road toll scams You’ve probably seen this year. He also adds a faster patterns analysis to Google Play Protect so that he can unmask malicious applications faster.
From Android 16, it will be impossible to grant certain accessibility privileges during a call with unknown contact. Meanwhile, the new key verifier feature prevents crooks from co -opting your known contacts, allowing you and contacts for contacting public encryption keys to confirm everyone’s identities.

Not only has Samat tease some potential Android potential glasses, Dieter Bohn, director of product storytelling, is on the flow showing a range of flagship Android phones and features.
In a touch to which I did not expect, the former editor of Verge Dieter Bohn is there to present some recent Android phones.
Oh, and here is our something else?
Samat is back to remind people that the next beta version of Android will soon be available, for all those who cannot wait for an official version later this fall.
Another look at the research center.
The Find hub will even support satellite connectivity features, so that you can let your friends and family know that you are safe even when you cannot have a cellular service.
