This year, Google decided to challenge its followers. On his social networks, he posted a puzzle, the resolution of which announces the date of the I/O event.
The 15-level challenge is still available to be solved, but in the meantime, Google has confirmed that its conference will take place on May 14th.
I/0 event could bring the Pixel 8a and AI news from Google
But let's focus on the announcements we can expect to see at this year's event. Although Google has recently revealed many new features in the area of Artificial Intelligence, the conference is expected to show more about the work that the research giant is doing in the area.
In the hardware area, one of the new features that could be presented will be the affordable Pixel 8a smartphone. Google itself has already hinted that the model will be presented on this stage. The terminal is expected to have the same design as its predecessor, but to hit the market with a higher initial price.
Android 15 will be present, but Pixel Fold 2 will not
Regarding software, it is quite likely that the research giant will reveal more about the new Android 15 operating system, as it is already available in a beta version for developers.
But the event will also be marked by an absence: the Pixel Fold 2. According to recent rumors, the company's new foldable smartphone has been delayed. The reason for this postponement couldn't be better: Google wants to equip the model with its latest processor and, as such, cannot present it in May.
The 2024 I/O conference will feature an in-person event, but can also be followed via online streaming. In addition to the usual lectures, including that of CEO Sundar Pichai, this conference will also have technical sessions and workshops.
