from Android 15 to the new Pixels, everything we can expect from the developer event

The Pixel 8a would be one of the protagonists of the Google I/O event to which the technological giant put more interest if possible yesterday, when it launched a puzzle that, once solved, gave precisely the day of celebration of this important event for their interests and to discover their new technological products. The day is already known: May 14.

Google celebrates this event every year in the month of May, in which the keynote takes center stage to show all the news related to new products or experiences in software from the extensive catalog that the technology giant has, which it s is Android, Wear OS, Chrome, Google Maps and others, and without forgetting the word that will be the protagonist: AI.

He Google I/O will take place on May 14, 2024 with the keynote address led by Google CEO Sundar Pichai at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. Then there will be other keynotes for developers and those technical sessions that are so important for the deployment of upcoming updates and new products.

There is a lot of interest in knowing whether Sundar Pichai will use the speech to ask for final forgiveness facing the setback caused by the generation of incorrect historical images with Gemini, its AI, and which generated quite a few problems for Google just a few weeks ago.

Of course, artificial intelligence will be the central axis of the keynoteaccording to the evolution of recent months during which Google has announced many new features such as the transition from Bard to Gemini, its three variants, and the new experience allowing you to perform queries in a more intuitive way with the “circle” gesture to search » .

About Android 15

Like every year, Google uses the keynote to advance the news of the next version, Android 15. Some of their new experiments were leaked with the first release for developers, but this day will be vital to know almost all or the most important ones.

In recent weeks, since the announcement of the first version intended for developers, little has been known. Perhaps the most striking thing was this new mode for the older ones, and so this may be interact more easily with a mobileor the possibility of including widgets on the lock screen to almost bring them back to life (they could already be used in Android 5.0 Lollipop, but were finally abandoned in subsequent versions).

SO the deployment of the latest version of Android 15 will remain for the end of summer (according to the roadmaps of recent years) and thus we move on to this autumn in which the new Pixel 9 and the rest of the news from the technology giant would presumably be presented.

Pixel 8a and surprises?

Compared to the devices that could be presented, always there may be a last minute surprise as happened in previous years with the Pixel Tablet or the Pixel Watch itself, although in reality it was a preview so that its final presentation took place in the month of autumn.

But there is one that comes into play perfectly and it is none other than the highly anticipated Pixel 8a. Google’s Series A breaks it and it is a mobile that adapts more and more to the needs of many users for several reasons: superb photography, pure Android always updated with the latest specifications, important specifications and a price adjusted to the maximum to give much more than it costs.

It has been leaked that the Pixel 8a will cost a bit more for two important reasons. One is that has the Tensor G3 in its gutsthe new Google chip seen in the Pixel 8 series launched in the fall of last year, and the second, the AI ​​functions it will have, although as seen with the Pixel 8, which will be left without Gemini Nano, the variant of its AI With lower capacities, the 8a could remain something similar.

Artificial intelligence at Google I/O

And finally artificial intelligence, the common denominator of 2023 and which this year continues to be 2024. It is not known if the technological giant reserves bigger surprises for these days, but the best of all is that For the first time in years, expectations for this speech are increasing. We will have to see what Google is capable of and whether it will present important new features; because before the tsunami that was AI, the previous Google I/Os lost all interest.

Finally, according to 9to5Googlethis Google I/O is the perfect opportunity for the American technology giant to give details about Android XRits augmented reality platform which takes on more importance after the launch of the Apple Vision Pro and the pressure exerted by Mark Zuckerberg with his Meta Quest 3, or the new capacity of Ray-Bans to be able to identify places and give descriptions with generative artificial intelligence.
