Google announced the Pixel 4a a week before Google I/O, but you should still tune in to the company’s annual event. The event starts on May 14th at 17:00 UTC, and you can watch the live stream embedded below (there’s also an alternate stream with American Sign Language).
With the Pixel 4a already official, you may be wondering why bother? Well, remember that Google has yet to launch Android 15. The new OS version is currently in beta, and we’ve already seen many of the improvements and new features it has to offer. However, there will still be a big presentation covering all the details.
We’ll be hearing more about Gemini, Google’s AI model used both on the web and on phones. With Apple looking to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18 and OpenAI (the company behind it) announcing plans for its own search engine, there’s a lot riding on Gemini.
This is just speculation, but we might hear more about the next Google Pixel Fold. We saw CAD renderings back in February and recently heard that the device could be called the ‘Pixel 9 Pro Fold’, aligning it with the main Pixel line.
There have also been some leaks about the new Pixel Watch 3, but it’s uncertain if it will be revealed at I/O or later. Nevertheless, it’s quite possible that Google will talk about WearOS 5, with or without a new watch.
