What to expect over the next two weeks on Android 16, Android XR and Gemini

Google’s annual conference will start in about two weeks May 20th. The event is probably the most important in the company’s calendar, which offers an idea in everything he has worked in the last year.

According to rumors and information, Google, I / O 2025, must be one of the more interesting technological keywords in the last memory. Moreover, Google crashed the first time Special Android Showcase planned a week ago. If you want to know what to expect from the company at the end of this month, read.

Android 16

In previous years, Dave Burke’s favorite and most favorite moments looking at the Shoreline stage to talk about the latest updates for Android. However, Over the past two years, Android has never been in the center of the Annual Development Conference on Google. It’s about changing the company that hosts a special showcase that opens the air a week before the first week ago. Google scheduled for May 13, said that the Android show was “a lot to share” during the Android show: i / O edition.

The presentation is an open betting for the O Samat, Samat and 16 of the Android ecosystem, which is seized for Burke in 2024. Google has already confirmed the future of the new operating system from the second half of the year. Thus, the same day can even leave the Android 16 stable structure. Google is a feature that Android 16 can announce for live activities “Surviving Notifications“. Android AuthorityGoogle can add a healthier photo selector with the support of cloud storage solutions.

We saw a large number of instructions in the upcoming design change to the platform, the material is called 3 expressive. The most cursed (or reliable) indicator of this you are real 9to5Google And the roadside are archived and visible. This leaking blog discusses the research that caused the elements of the movement, which responds more and more in the part of the 3 expressive, visual overhaul of the material, the section of users. According to the article, “Send the participants” e-mail in application “, the eyes saw 4x faster in the expressive design.”

One of the best places to get an idea for the future of Android 16 is the Beta version available for developers, and that is In the fourth iteration right now. For example, we learned in March Android will bring 16 Auracast supportCan do something that can make it easier to listen and pass between multiple Bluetooth devices. This can allow people to receive Bluetooth audio in hearing devices they combine with their phones or tablets.

Android xr

Remember Google Glass? No, how Disappointment? Perhaps Cardboarder? Upon shipping (at least) three XR projects cemeteryYou think Google will think even if it’s enough. Instead, the company is preparing to release after Android XR to review the platform at the end of last year. This time, the company around the company and Gemini says the power of the EU models will make everything different. We know that Google works with Samsung on the Moohan project with Samsung. Last autumn, Samsung sign The device may come for a while this year.

Google and Samsung Demo Project in Moohan I dream that the search giant will have more about the Android XR and bring more information about the Ecosystem partners brought to him to bring it to the initiative.

AI, AI and more AI

If Google had felt the need to divide Android into his showcase, we can get ads related to the EU more than I / O than before. The company did not instruct us to expect to wait on this front, but if I have to guess, features like AI Views and AI mode are likely to get fundamental updates. I suspect Google that there will be something to do Project MarinerWeb-Surf Agency in I / O 2024. In both cases, Google is now aI company and will move forward.

Project Astra

Talk about AI, Project Astra It was more impressive demo Google showed in I / O 2024. Technology used the most of the most recent modal capabilities of Google Gemini models to offer something we have never seen in the beginning of the company. The advanced image, which allows you to think about what it seems, is a voice assistant. Google is a really useful artificial assistant astra project reviews the ASTRA project.

However, after seeing the ASTRA’s identity, the Engadget crew did more technology. Last year’s leap project is a good chance we can get an update in I / O 2025, taking into account Astra.

Wear os

Last year, OS Dress did not receive a word during the main key to the company, but Google looked in advance Wear OS 5 Developer followed during sessions. The company just started rolling Wear OS 5.1 to pixel devices in March. Given this, you can expect to be new to share Google, but An account of the official wear OS X He said that the supporters watched the Android show to updates.

Notebooklm

Google has offered since 2023 Notebooklm on the desktop. The recording application uses machine learning for features such as automated summaries. Based on the App Store and Google Play ListingsThe company is preparing to release the mobile version of the service on the first day of I / O 2025.

Apart from all

Google has a terrible trace record when it comes to preventing leaks in the inner row, so the company is unlikely to surprise us. Again, Google can declare something we do not expect. As always, your best bet is to visit Engadget on May 20 and 21. We will be the last of Google with our LiveBlog and our analysis.
