Google I/O 2023 is a live event starting on May 10, where the company will host a keynote and workshops for developers. The event will give us a better idea of what Google has planned for Android, Search, AI, and other areas.
Google has already released the event program ahead of time, which reveals early information on the updates and changes to smart home, wearables, ChromeOS, accessibility, and more. Attendees can attend various sessions and workshops to learn about the latest tools and technologies for building apps and services on Google’s platforms.
Overall, Google I/O is a highly anticipated event for developers and technology enthusiasts, and we can expect to see a range of announcements and updates across various areas of Google’s business.
“At Google I/O 2023, we expect the company to make some of its biggest announcements, including:”
Google Pixel Tablet
Google has officially confirmed that the Pixel Tablet will be showcased at Google I/O 2023. This highly anticipated device was teased at last year’s Pixel event, and it’s positioned somewhere between an Android tablet and a Nest Hub. The Pixel Tablet will come with a dock that displays ambient information, and it’s rumored to run on Android 13, which has been optimized to work better on larger-screen devices like foldables and tablets.
While Google hasn’t revealed too many details about the device, leaks have given us a glimpse of its potential features, including UWB support, a privacy switch, and a standalone dock with an alleged price point. I/O 2023 will be an ideal platform for Google to unveil the Pixel Tablet, and we can’t wait to see what the company has in store for us.
In addition to the Pixel Tablet, we might also hear more about Google’s smart home plans at I/O 2023. The tablet’s dock, which displays ambient information, could be a hint that Google is expanding its smart home lineup. We could see updates to Nest products or even new smart home devices being announced.
Google has made a strong push into the smart home market in recent years, and I/O 2023 could be the perfect opportunity for the company to showcase its latest innovations in this space. We’ll just have to wait and see what surprises Google has in store for us at this highly anticipated event.

Google has confirmed that it will launch the Pixel 7a at the upcoming I/O event. Leaks suggest that the phone will have a higher refresh rate OLED display, wireless charging, and will come in Coral and Arctic Blue color options. The 90Hz refresh rate display will put the phone on par with some budget Android devices. We can expect more details about the Pixel 7a at I/O, where Google is likely to showcase its latest features and improvements. Fans of the Pixel lineup will surely be eagerly anticipating the launch of this new device.
The Pixel 7a, set to launch at Google I/O, is expected to have a higher-resolution camera, wireless charging, and the newer Tensor G2 chipset. Priced at $500, it is slightly more expensive than its predecessor but still a great value for those seeking a budget Android device. Videos of the phone have already surfaced online, adding to the excitement of its imminent release.

Google has confirmed the existence of the highly rumored Pixel Fold in a teaser video ahead of I/O. Fans are excited to see what the device has to offer.
While Google hasn’t shared any official specs for the Pixel Fold, multiple leaks have surfaced online. The phone is expected to have a wider unfolded screen compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and a 120Hz refresh rate. The internal display is expected to be 7.6 inches with a QHD+ resolution, and the device may be powered by the Tensor G2 chipset. However, leaks suggest the Pixel Fold won’t come cheap, with an expected price tag of $1800.
The phone may hit the market shortly after Google I/O in June, but it’s unclear how much of the leaked information will turn out to be accurate. Despite this uncertainty, the Pixel Fold is one of the most anticipated devices of the year, and tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see how it will stack up against other foldable devices on the market.

Android 14 beta is currently underway with improved language features, font scaling, and battery life. It may also feature satellite connectivity, visual changes, and separate volume sliders for ringtones and notifications. Google is expected to reveal more about Android 14 at I/O.
Lots of AI

Google has been ramping up its efforts in AI with the development of its own chatbot, Bard, built on its language model, amidst increasing competition from rivals such as Microsoft. The company has merged its separate AI teams into a single group called “Google DeepMind” and has been updating Bard with generative AI features for Workspace apps. As AI continues to shape our lives, we can expect to hear more about Google’s work in this area, including how it plans to leverage AI to provide innovative solutions and stay ahead of the competition.
Google Pixel 8 Teaser

Google is working on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones, and some images of them have recently been leaked online. These images show that the phones are similar to the previous models, but with some differences. For example, the Pixel 8 is said to have a slightly smaller screen, and the Pixel 8 Pro may have a flat panel instead of a curved one. The phones also have more rounded corners, and the Pixel 8 Pro has a mysterious sensor next to its camera system that could be a LiDAR sensor or some other new technology.
It’s unlikely that the Pixel 8 series will be launched at Google I/O, but the company may show some teasers of the devices before the full release later this year. People are excited to see what new features the phones will have and how they will perform, especially considering the high quality of previous Pixel phones.
Google Pixel Watch 2 Teaser

There’s a rumor that the Pixel Watch 2 might be released at the same time as the Pixel 8 series. That means both products could be shown off together at Google I/O.
The Pixel Watch 2 will likely look similar to the previous model. But we’re hoping it will have a better chip inside to make it work faster, less empty space around the screen, and a longer-lasting battery.
