Google confirmed a few days ago the date for one of the great events in the world of technology and that is none other than the Google I / O. This event brings together a huge number of engineers, developers and executives from the Android world and in which a host of interesting ideas or projects are discussed. In addition, every year Google shows us the news it has prepared for next year and usually surprises us with the official presentation of the odd device.
This time the Google I/O 2016 It comes loaded with news, new projects and even interesting devices, so we have decided to put all this in order in this article. If you want to know everything that awaits us in the largest Google event and be aware of all the news that we can see, continue reading and enjoy this article and everything that the search giant has prepared for us.
Date and place of the Google I / O
As we mentioned before, Google confirmed the dates of the Google I / O 2016 a few days ago, and the event will take place at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Montan View, in San Francisco between May 18 and 20.
Within this gigantic event, the Google keynote will take place on May 128 at 10 in the morning, San Francisco time, in Spain for example it will be at 19:00 p.m. Both this keynote and many other conferences of the event are broadcast through YouTube on the official channel of the event so that you do not miss a single one of those that may be interesting to you.
In addition, Google has also published the complete agenda of the event that you can review and analyze in the following link.
Next we are going to review the main news that we can see at Google I / O 2016, some of which are already fully confirmed in one way or another, and others are mere rumors.
Android N
Google I / O is usually the usual setting for the presentation of new versions of the Android operating system. For some time now we have available trial versions of Android N, and in the Google keynote this new version of the operating system could arrive in an official way.
The usual procedure of Google is to officially present the Android version, and then officially release the first version for developers. For the final version to reach the market there is still some time to go, although it is not usually too much. Maybe we know a date with more precision in the Google I / O.
In addition, it is also possible that we can already know the official name that Android N will have, which as usual is one of the big questions that Google guards with great zeal. We know that the name will begin with the letter N and in order not to break with tradition it will have a sweet name. Nougat or Nutella appear in all the pools, although for now the search giant continues to launch promotional videos related to the name of the new Android 7.
A
A, Google's operating system for wearable devices and especially for smartwatches will be another of the great protagonists of Google I / O. We are all expecting news in the software, which could include improvements in voice controls, more gestures and some new features. It is also more than possible that Google will take the opportunity to officially present new devices.
This is simply something that has been customary in recent Google events and it is possible that it will be repeated in this one, although leaks or rumors related to the smartwatch market are rather few. Maybe we can see some new LG or Huawei smartwatch.
Also, maybe Google I / O 2016 could be the perfect setting to announce the expected compatibility of Android Wear with Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile.
Nexus 7 (2016)
La presentation of a Nexus 7 (2016) is one of the rumors that sounds strongly and is that the search giant could have a new tablet ready to launch in an official way. Everything indicates that it could be manufactured by Huawei and that it would have a 7-inch screen enclosed in a metal body.
Its price, always according to rumors, would be lower than what the Pixel C currently has. If we stick to what we saw in the Nexus manufactured by Huawei, this tablet could be the least interesting, although to find out we will have to wait for its possible presentation at Google I / O 2016.
Project Tango
It is one of the forgotten projects of Google, but that in recent times has re-emerged from the hand of Lenovo, thanks to the presentation of the first mobile device based on this project by the search giant. Many hope that in this Google I / O this project will again gain an important momentum.
On the event's agenda we can also read how the first presentation or conference after the main keynote will have Project Tango as the main protagonist.
Android Auto
Android Auto will be another of the great protagonists of the Google I / O 2016 or at least that's what most of us expect. This Google project is developing much slower than expected, but the accidents of several autonomous cars have not allowed the search giant to maneuver faster.
The autonomous car market is starting to gain momentum and more and more companies have decided to join this project. Google is leading with several cars operating in various parts of the world, and perhaps in this long-awaited event we will know some more news or we can even know an official date for a possible commercialization of a car.
Of course it is to be hoped that we will also see some news related to other aspects of Android Auto at the next Google I / O 2016, so do not take your eyes off Google's autonomous cars.
Chrome OS
Many rumors suggest that the news around Chrome OS could be many and very important and it is that we could officially see new devices, as well as a full unification with Android. This would generate an experience never seen before for all users and that will surely offer us some more than interesting possibilities.
Of course Google has denied all these rumors and has not confirmed the new devices or the possible unification with Android. However, all the tests point to this and it is more than likely that Google I / O 2016 will bring us great news in relation to Chrome OS.
What is Google up to in relation to Chrome OS?.
Project FI
Another one that will have its space in the Google I / O 2016 is the Project Fi. This complex system that combines mobile networks with WiFi networks and that provides users with a stable connection at high speed continues its development and the secure search giant that will offer us some other information.
In the United States this project already has a good extension and maybe Google's bet is to extend it to other countries.
Project Ara
To close this article, we must not overlook the fact that Google once again brings out the Project Ara, that modular phone from the search giant of which we heard the first news in 2013 but of which we are still waiting for its launch. A test version of the terminal has been expected for a long time to be able to test the advances and what it offers us, but an enormous amount of delays and problems have meant that for now we have been able to see and touch this revolutionary smartphone.
In the official profile on Twitter of this project we could read that this device would go on sale in 2016, and perhaps the Google I / O framework is perfect to learn about news about this project, which in recent times it has unfortunately become a ghost project.
The Google I / O 2016 that will start in just a few days will be loaded with news, announcements and a huge amount of information that will surely overwhelm almost all of us. In this article we have only mentioned some of the things that we will see and that arouse the most interest, but by no means will they be the only things that we will see and that is that according to many rumors we could know a new Google messaging application or news related to virtual reality .
This Google event is one of the most anticipated of the year and it is not for less, because we can officially know some details of the new version of the Android operating system, perhaps its official name, the latest advances in Android Auto or even a new Nexus, which made by Huawei, would have a size of 7 inches and a huge power.
What do you expect from the next Google I / O 2016 that will launch in a few days?. Tell us in the space reserved for comments on this post or through one of the social networks in which we are present and where of course we will completely cover the Google event.
