These are all the news from Google I / O 2015

Google

Google I / O 2015 started yesterday with the central and main conference, which, as we expected, left us a huge amount of interesting news. The latest version of the Android operating system, the interesting news of Android Wear, or the interesting improvements that Google has incorporated to some of its most popular applications were the most interesting aspects, although many more.

In this article we are going to do a I review all the news that we could see yesterday, so get comfortable and get ready to enter the universe of Google, which yesterday grew a little more and above all improved greatly.

Android M

Android M

With the codename of Android M, Google yesterday presented its new version of its mobile operating system, in which we will see great news but above all a correction of errors that we have to suffer today in Android Lollipop, and above all an improvement in battery consumption that despairs to many users every day.

At the moment, without a final name, this new version of Android will offer us 6 main novelties, which you can imagine will increase over time.

  • Android Pay. Google's mobile payment system will come hand in hand with this new version of Android M and although we still do not know too much information, it is undoubtedly great news
  • App permissions become more consistent. Until now, application permissions were, let's put it that way, inconsistent. With Android M these have been reduced and we will be notified when they are going to be used with which we will avoid scares of some applications
  • Custom tabs. In order to improve the web experience, Google has created custom tabs that will allow us to integrate Chrome into applications. At the conference it was demonstrated how this option could be used with Pinterest with great and above all comfortable results
  • Apps will talk to each other more than ever. This will allow us to see each other through in certain types of situations.
  • Fingerprints arrive. Despite the fact that several Android devices already integrated this option, now it will arrive in a native way and Google is willing to take advantage of it. For example, it will be possible to use Android Pay with our fingerprint
  • Doze, the new "smart" systemcontrol and management of energy consumption, which will increase the autonomy of our devices. Hopefully something better works than the systems implemented in Android Lollipop for this purpose

Photos from Google becomes independent with many new features

Google Photos

It was one of the open secrets in the days before the beginning of Google I / O, but until yesterday Google did not show its new image manager, which in general left everyone very, very satisfied. And is that In the first place, it becomes independent from Google Plus, something that was tremendously necessary, but also the new features included make it one of the best applications of this type of how many are available in the market.

From now on, any user will be able to organize their images to their liking, by date, by places and even by the people who appear in them, since the application itself will be able to tag them. In addition, we can also edit our photographs, create animated images and even collages quickly and easily.

The only negative point is that images with less than 16 megapixels can be stored unlimitedly. All images that exceed those megapixels must be reduced before being saved in the cloud or using our personal space.

A

Many of us expected the presentation of the second generation of the Moto 360 and Samsung's circular smartwatch, but that did not happen, although it is not ruled out that it may happen today. In return, Google announced interesting news in its operating system for wearable devices.

The main ones are the wrist gestures, the possibility of drawing on the screen of our device, the independence that they will have from now on, being able to connect to WiFi networks or the possibility of always showing information on the screen if it is turned off.

Brillo, the operating system for the Internet of Things

Google I/O

It was a strong rumor that circulated through the network of networks in recent days and yesterday it became a reality by Google with the presentation of Brillo, your Android-based operating system for the Internet of Things. This software will also be complemented with Weave that will allow all devices to talk to each other, even if it does not use the operating system of the search giant. Welcome to the future!

At the moment we do not know too much data about Brightness, although we do know that it will be available for almost any device since we could say that it is developed around a very basic Android. The trial version for developers could be available in the third quarter of last year.

There is no new Chromecast, but there are interesting news

Google

Google did not officially present a second version of its Chromecast, something that many of us expected, but instead it did present some novelties for its device.

Among these novelties we could highlight the auto-reproduction and queues that until now did not work very well, and that are now available to all developers, which can only be something positive for users.

Now it is also possible mirror the screen of any app. For example, we can use the screen of our television to play and the screen of our mobile as a touch controller, interesting right?

In addition and finally Google announced that the possibility of playing several users to the same game will be much easier and is that several people will be able to play a game simultaneously with their own mobile device or tablet.

Cardboard, Google's virtual reality comes to iPhone

What appreciated a joke in the last Google I / O continues to evolve and reach more and more users. We are talking of course about CardBoard, which already have a new version available to easily and cheaply access virtual reality from Google.

Also with this new generation of CardBoard we can use any other non-compatible mobile device, for example an iPhone that will allow users of the Apple mobile device to enjoy virtual reality in a simple way.

Google Maps offers an offline mode

Google

Google Maps is one of Google's best known and most popular services, and although we did not expect news to be announced within the framework of Google I / O, the search giant gave us good news to all users. And it is that from now on we can make use of the maps offline, something very advantageous for everyone.

However, the thing does not stop there and it is that we can not only make use of the offline maps but for example also the directions dictated from turn to turn.

Google Maps takes the definitive leap that it needed to be at the height of other applications of this type and I am very afraid that we are already facing the best map application of all that are available on the market.

Ready to travel safely, even offline, thanks to Google Maps?.

Google Now

Google Now, the Google voice assistants was yesterday another of the great protagonists of the inaugural conference of the Google I / O 2015. The search giant continues to work on this service and presented some interesting news that will allow to continue cutting the existing distance with, for example, Siri or protect itself against the arrival of Cortana to Google Play in the coming days.

Among the novelties that we will find is the possibility of examining everything that happens on our screen by Google Now, and then deciding what to do and execute.

Also Google's voice assistant will anticipate our wishes showing us information without asking for it in a direct or clear way. In the examples shown in yesterday's conference this function was not very clear, but hopefully it will serve to continue improving the wizard.

Finally Google showed No won tap or what is the same, the possibility of Google Now being available just when and where you want. From now on the voice assistant will be shown at any time and place regardless of the application we are in or where we are, interesting right?

Conclusion

The first day of Google I / O 2015 was full of news, many more than we probably all expected, but hopefully they do not stay here and Google continues to show us new options and functions. What's more it would be very positive if we could see some more characteristics of some of the novelties presented yesterday.

Some brands are also expected to take advantage of the conference to present some devices, so stay tuned to our website because in the next few hours we could continue to see interesting news in the form of gadgets.

Ready to continue enjoying Google I / O 2015?.

    Good article, but the truth, to the one who writes this, before publishing it, reread it brother, there are a lot of bad and missing connectors, and it takes cohesion and coherence to the text and you have to think about which connector can go to make all sense . If you are a journalist, start studying a little logic
