A look at Google I/O 2024, which will take place on May 14

On May 14, Google will hold its subsequent I/O developer conference. The firm announced the dates of its developer-focused annual conference after following its custom of publishing a “Break the Loop puzzle.” This event is scheduled to take place in person and will be streamed live on all of Google’s official platforms. It is expected that the yearly event would highlight Google’s most recent AI developments. Presumably, the event will reveal the new features coming to Chrome, Android 15, and other Google services, like Gmail, Google Photos, and more. It is expected to reveal peeks of upcoming devices, such as the Google Pixel 8a.

The date of this year’s I/O conference was disclosed by the Apple giant on Thursday, March 14, through a specific event page. The live event is scheduled for May 14 at the I/O conference’s regular location, Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Google is expected to air the presentation live on its YouTube channels and the I/O website, as usual. The number of attendees for the developer session may be limited. Developers can register for the event for free and receive email updates on the program and content, just like in previous years.

Google’s annual event is expected to showcase the company’s next steps in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, including potential announcements on Android XR and Gemini, in addition to developer-focused talks about apps and product improvements. It’s expected that fresh information regarding Android 15, Chrome, and other Google products will be revealed.

Google debuted the Pixel 7a at the event at least one year. Based on this, it is expected that the business would reveal the Pixel 8a smartphone during the May 14 event. It is rumored to have a 6.1-inch screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz and to be powered by Google’s Tensor G3 SoC and 8GB of RAM. It is anticipated to cost more than its predecessor.

Google also unveiled the Pixel Fold, their first foldable phone, during last year’s I/O. Thus, this time around, we should also anticipate possible teasers for the Pixel Fold 2 and Pixel 9 series.
