Google I/O 2024: AI, Android 15, and More

Google is expected to demonstrate deeper Gemini integration across key products and services, such as Search, Maps, and Android. Rumours also suggest that Google will unveil "Pixie," a personalized digital assistant powered by Gemini AI that can analyze images, provide information about objects, and guide users to nearby stores.

On the software side, Google will unveil Android 15, the next generation of its mobile operating system. The beta version introduces upgrades like end-to-end encryption for contacts, app archiving for storage management, and expanded satellite connectivity support. Improvements to WearOS, Android TV, Android Auto, and developer tools leveraging AI are also likely.

While the recently launched Pixel 8a smartphone is available starting today, Google may tease its upcoming flagship Pixel 9 series or next Pixel Fold foldable device. Some rumours suggest the latter could be branded the "Pixel 9 Pro Fold" rather than Pixel Fold 2 and launch later this year.
