From CNET: Google I/O, the tech giant's annual developers conference, is just weeks away, and we'll likely get a peek at Android 15, some AI updates and maybe even new Pixel devices.
It's not yet clear what exactly Google could unveil during the keynote, which is set to take place May 14 at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. (Following the keynote, there will be developer breakout sessions on May 14 and 15). Last year, the company debuted the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7A, as well as features like Magic Editor in Photos and Immersive View for Maps. With that in mind, it's possible we'll get a good mix of hardware and software updates at this year's conference, too.
Google will likely unveil the next generation of its affordable Pixel A series, the Pixel 8A. These lower-priced devices pack many of the same features as flagship Pixel phones. The 7A, for instance, houses the same processor as the Pixel 7, and its camera shares many of the same features.
Google I/O usually offers a peak at upcoming software features, so it's safe to assume we'll learn more about the next version of its mobile device software, Android 15, and its eventual public release at this year's keynote. Android 15 is currently available in beta and includes new features and improvements focused on productivity, privacy and security. For instance, there's support for app archiving and unarchiving so you can easily free up space on your phone, as well as end-to-end encryption for contact keys and extended support for satellite connectivity.
