Google I/O 2024 Scheduled for May 14: Here’s What Tech Enthusiasts Can Expect from the Conference

Google has announced the date of one of the most anticipated events of the year, I/O 2024. Google I/O 2024 will take place on May 14 this year and the company will be looking forward to showcasing its innovations and projects for the future.

Google announced the I/O date in its trademark style, as the official page includes a puzzle that viewers can solve. The “Save” option for I/O is in the middle of the page as soon as you open it. Additionally, there is a timer counting the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds until I/O, as well as options to “Join the Community” and “Break the Loop.” You can also take a look at what happened in last year's I/O, as the page has a link to it.

Expectations from Google I/O 2024

Focus on AI

This year's I/O is expected to focus heavily on artificial intelligence. Google recently announced its flagship AI Model Gemini as well as its compact counterpart, Gemma. Although the launch of the AI ​​model did not go smoothly, the launch of Gemini's image generator caused controversy, so much so that Sundar Pichai had to accept that the unintended consequences were unacceptable. Google launched Bard in 2023, which also received mixed reactions. At this point, Google has the task of defending its technology against fierce competition from Microsoft, Open AI, Anthropic and many others.

Android 15

Android 15 is also expected to be announced during AI with major updates for services like Gmail, Google Photos, Google Maps, and more.

Reports claim that Pixel 8a will have a revamped design and will be powered by the Tensor G3 chipset. It is also said to have a bigger battery and faster charging speed.

Google Pixel Fold 2

Last year, Google rolled out its first foldable device during I/O. This time around, sources are divided on whether or not the company will reveal the Pixel Fold 2 at I/O 2024. Recent developments claim that the Pixel Fold 2 could be delayed as it needs to feature a new chipset Tensor G4. That would mean a fall launch, but Google could still give a first look at the next foldable at I/O 2024.

THE Pixel 9 And Pixel 9 Pro should have an updated design with flat bezels and significant hardware updates.
