The range of topics is broad, from cloud computing to mobility, including the web, and more recently artificial intelligence. In his recent posts, Mishal Rahman emphasizes that this diversity of topics is synonymous with the continuous expansion of the event and the increasingly high expectations of developers but also of the general public for its developments.
Some new hardware features and a focus on software
This year's edition should be marked by the launch of the Pixel 8a, Google's latest mid-range smartphone. This phone has recently been subjected to many leaks, especially regarding its design, as many images, first virtual and then real, were published on the web and social media networks. We were able to see that the mobile will be available in several original colours. Otherwise, rumors indicate that Google may offer the Pixel Tablet again, but this time as a standalone device accompanied by accessories. Additionally, on the hardware side, we will probably have to wait to discover the next generation of Pixels and especially the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro while we are also talking about the Pixel Pro XL. In fact, mobile phones in this range are usually announced at a separate event later in the year, which should also reveal the Pixel Watch 3.
Android 15 will undoubtedly be at the center of discussions, as will ChromeOS and Gemini. Another interesting point is the future of Google wearables, with a session dedicated specifically to Wear OS. These topics represent only a small portion of what will be explored at this event.
