Android is developed partially within the open, so there’s already some indication of what could possibly be coming with Android 16. Thus far, that is a visible redesign of a few of the working system’s core options, just like the notification shade, a tackle Apple’s Stay Actions for monitoring ongoing occasions and presumably a Samsung DeX-like “Desktop Mode” for Android telephones. Google even appeared to by accident publish its personal weblog put up detailing its analysis round person interfaces and Materials 3 Expressive, solely to take it down shortly after. Sadly (or luckily for Android fans), the web by no means forgets.
Earlier than we neglect, I/O 2025 begins on Could 20 at 1PM ET / 10AM PT with Google’s keynote, usually a sequence of updates on Android, Search, Google Workspace and Gemini. It is value noting: Google usually would not put aside separate time for Android bulletins. The corporate stated there can be some Android information at I/O, however the secure wager is that Gemini would be the star. We count on Google to share Gemini updates, together with Android XR information and possibly additional demonstrations of experimental tasks like Venture Astra.
