Google I/O 2024: What to expect?
Google is set to host its I/O developer conference later today, where the search giant is expected to make major announcements in the field of AI and the Android ecosystem. The conference will showcase the latest versions of Android, Chrome, Google Assistant, AI, and more.
Although software is set to take center stage at the recent Google I/O event, we’ll likely see AI integrated into the new Pixel 8a, which is also scheduled to go on sale later today, so without further delay.
Here’s how to tune in to Google I/O 2024 and what to expect from the event.
Google I/O 2024: How to watch the live stream? Google CEO Sundar Pichai will kick off today’s I/O event with his keynote address this evening. The conference is set to showcase the latest versions of Android, Chrome, Google Assistant, artificial intelligence, and more.
For those who are eager to listen to the event, Google will stream the keynote and critical sessions live on its official YouTube channel. You can watch the live event by visiting the Google Keynote link (Google I/O 24).
Google I/O 2024: What to expect? Android 15 is currently in beta, with the final version expected to be released after July, as Google aims to introduce new features like satellite messaging, potential lock screen widgets for tablets, battery health improvements, and a private space to improve privacy settings.
Although the exact launch date is still under wraps, an official release in September or October is very likely. The Pixel Fold 2, the successor to the original Pixel Fold, is among the list of highly speculated products that will either make their debut or debut. Briefly at I/O 2024 rumors point to a sleeker design, variable aspect ratio, and a better camera setup.
Possibly powered by Google’s Tensor G4 SoC, there are also talks of a name change to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, with an October launch, as the focus on wearables, particularly through the Pixel Watch, suggests an imminent Wear OS update. The developer panel hinted at “progress in the watch face format,” signaling a much-needed update to the platform.
Additionally, updates to the Google TV and Android TV operating systems are expected, with speculation also pointing to a 4K Chromecast upgrade, likely to include Gemini functionality and offering superior performance and features over its predecessor.
Google’s Gemini AI-generating technology is expected to be a highlight of the conference, with capabilities ranging from text generation to coding, with future upgrades and expansions likely to be discussed. The event may also introduce Pixie, the AI assistant rumored to be exclusive to the Pixel 9 devices.
In addition, we can also expect the company to discuss deeper integration of Google Assistant with Gemini for improved smart home control, and with ChatGPT-4 being offered for free recently, Google will undoubtedly make a major AI announcement at the event.
