"Android Show: I/O Edition will be streaming live on YouTube and the Android website on Tuesday, May 12th at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. Based on last year's Android Show, we can expect the highlights to include a look at the next major Android update along with announcements about Gemini features on Android and potentially teases of some more forward-facing projects, like Aluminium OS and Android XR."

Android Show: I/O Edition will stream live on YouTube and the Android website on Tuesday, May 12 at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. The event is expected to cover major Android ecosystem highlights for Google I/O, including a look at the next major Android update and announcements about Gemini features on Android. The show is expected to be shorter than the full I/O keynote, with last year’s lasting just over 20 minutes. A teaser shows the Android robot shifting from solid green to a translucent, glassy look, prompting speculation about visual changes. A response from Sameer Samat denies a “Liquid Glass” update, while the visuals may resemble early Gemini app redesign glimpses. Android 17 beta previews include “app bubbles” and other features.
