Google’s annual I / S The developer’s conference arrives on May 20 – and all the signs indicate that it is a big one.
This is where we generally learn everything that is new to Android, Gemini Artificial Intelligence Assistant from Google and all the other platforms of the company, from Wear OS to Android Auto. But this week, Google announced a virtual event called Android program: E / S editionWhich takes place a week earlier, on May 13 at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. HE). A Teaser video has shown that Sameer Samat from Google, president of the Android ecosystem, preparing for the camera and announcing the program.
The Android show will probably explore all the new features to come on Android 16, the next version of the Google mobile operating system. However, this break in relation to the traditional announcement process of all the last in Android among the E / S suggests that the conference of May 20 will be filled with new ones in other areas and services.
Last year, Android took a rear place in Gemini -related capacities while the pressure rose on Google to display its response to the Openai Chatppt. This year, we will probably see features related to the personal context in Gemini – the assistant’s ability to understand you through past conversations and your connected Google services like Gmail and Calendar. It is also widely planned that we learn more about Google Android XR, and perhaps get an update on the next smart glasses.
