Google’s annual I/O Developers Conference will be held on May 20, two major events you need to watch to keep the company updated all the software platform. I/O 2025 will start on May 20, and a week ago, there is also the Android Show: I/O Edition, a dedicated display of the Android ecosystem.
Android Show: I/O Edition will air on May 13 at 1pm/10pm when it will be played on Google’s Android YouTube channel. Since it seems to be pre-recorded, we’ve embed it below, so in fact, you can bookmark this page and return. Even better, we will be blogging live with the show, so you will see our coverage, analytics and doing it in real time.
Some of Android’s development is in public, so there are already some signs of what Android 16 might bring. So far, this is a visual redesign of some of the core features of the operating system, such as Notification Shade, which is Apple’s real-time activity that can track ongoing events and possibly Samsung Dex’s “Desktop Mode” similar to Samsung Dex’s “Desktop Mode”. Google even seems to have accidentally published its own blog post detailing its research around user interface and material 3 expression, just quickly deleting it. Unfortunately (or for Android enthusiasts), the internet will never forget.
Meanwhile, I/O 2025 will be held on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET/10 p.m. ET, with its keynote, usually a series of updates to Android, Search, Google Workspace and Gemini. It’s worth noting: Google doesn’t usually provide a separate time for Android announcements. The company said there will be some Android news for I/O, but the safe bet is that Gemini will be a star. We hope Google shares the Gemini update with Android XR News and may further demonstrate the Astra Project Project project.
Google’s I/O keynote will be available on Google’s YouTube channel, and it’s here once it’s available on May 20 at 1 p.m. ET.
