Tonight Google I/O (Google’s annual developer conference) will kick-off in California with many of us wondering what is left to reveal about Android 16? A week ago Google released a stack of news about Android 16 in The Android Show: I/O Edition. It showed how Android has undergone the biggest redesign in years and AI will be at its core. Gemini will be on Android 16 and Wear OS 6, your TV and car. Essentially everywhere.
There are more than 3 billion active Android devices in over 190 countries, and that means cybercriminals have a target-rich environment, The good news is Android 16 will be offering several important security and privacy updates to keep the bad guys at bay.
As you can see from the videos above, Android 16 is looking good this year. Material 3 Expressive gives you new ways to personalise your device, delivering smooth interactions and helpful information.
I don’t know about you but the big move for me is having Gemini in my car. Android Auto is going to be like having K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. No need to remember rigid vocal prompts, just chat away and you’ll get navigation to EV stations, restaurants and more.
Image Matrix Tech will be across all the major announcements so come back tomorrow for all the highlights.
