We have seen rumours about Google making Pixel devices power as a desktop version on the bigger screen. This might be the ideal platform to at least give us more details before the main I/O 2026 keynote later in the month to give actual demos of the support.
Foldables need more software impetus and Android will be at the center of this evolution with more interface-based tweaks and make the form factor more conducive for Android to be as reliable as the regular version.
Android is also going to be running through smart glasses and Google should have more to share about the products that will be rolling out to the market and compete with Meta’s Ray Ban glasses in the near future. So yeah, lot to look forward to with the Android Show next month and a nice build up before the main course is served with the Google I/O 2026 keynote which starts from May 19 and hosted by Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google from the California base.
