Google I/O is happening on May 18, Wednesday, at Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View, and everyone is waiting for the tech giant's announcement in the event. Talks about Android VR, Android wear and Android N surfaced, but until then, noone really knows what Google is going to reveal.
There have been many speculations on what the tech giant has been cooking up for the past 12 months. Here are four things that may be included in the Google I/O:
Android N
Google is known in introducing the developer preview of its latest version of Android every year in its annual Google I/O keynote, but this would not be the case this time. Google gave a preview of its Android N with split-screen multitasking, automated power saving feature and sharp design a few months back. However, the company may include Android N's new tweaks in Google I/O 2016, according to Engadget.
Android wear
It has been quite some time after Google introduced its first Android Wear watches two years ago. This time, developers think that the tech giant may include new development with this product.
A session with a group of panelists in the second day of I/O called "What's new in Android Wear," may finally reveal what is in-store with this Android wear platform. If this happens, fans could expect an Android Wear 2.0.
Android VR
Another Google product that is expected in I/O is Android VR that is hitting the headlines for nearly a year. Previous reports revealed that Google's Android would become a sort of VR platform. There had been speculations that Google would release a cardboard-style VR headset that is designed to fit the phone screens instead of the usual built-in ones.
Chrome OS
Meanwhile, it is also expected that Google will include Chrome OS in its agenda in the event, according to Tech Crunch. In April, a user viewed a notification that said, "Enable Android Apps to run on your Chromebook."
Another user was also almost able to access Google Play from the Chromebook after a few hours. With no clear details yet, Google is expected to talk more about this during the event.
Apart from the mentioned, there have been expectations that Google may also be revealing more of its Project Tango and Google Chirp in the I/O. Check out the video below and get more details about what to expect at the Google I/O event:
