Meanwhile, ahead of annual event, here are all the things we expect Google to announce:
Android 13
Google has already shared a tentative timeline of launch for its upcoming Android 13 mobile operating system. The company shared the first beta preview of the Android 13 OS last month. It is possible that the company uses the platform to release the second beta version of the OS and talk a little bit more about the key features of the Android 12 successor.
Pixel 6a
Google typically uses Google I/O to launch out its mid-budget smartphone. The company is expected to keep up with this trend in 2022 with the launch of Pixel 6A smartphone. According to tipster Mukul Sharma, the phone has also entered testing in India. Separately, reports suggest that the Pixel 6A is tipped to come with a 90Hz 6.2-inch FHD+ display. It is expected to be powered by Google’s in-house Tensor chipset that is coupled with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage. Additionally, the phone is expected to be backed by a 4,5000mAh battery and run the Android 12 OS.
Pixel Watch
Reports for a long time have tipped Google to be working on a WearOS-based smartwatch dubbed as the Pixel Watch. Recent reports suggest that 2022 could the the year that the company finally launches its Pixel Watch. As per reports, Google’s Pixel Watch is expected to come with a circular design, physical crown, and Fitbit integration. Additional features include SPO2 tracker, sleep apnea detection, heartbeat alert, stress tracking, and calorie tracking among other things.
Pixel Fold
Google’s first foldable display smartphone dubbed as the Pixel Fold has been in the news for quite sometime now. The device is expected to run the Android 12L OS. Earlier, reports hinted towards the device launching in the fourth quarter of 2022, in time for the company’s Pixel smartphone launch event. However, some reports hint that Google might drop a hint about the device at its upcoming launch event.
New Nest Hub
Google, in the past, has also used its annual event to launch new Nest smart speakers and smart displays. So, it is entirely possible that the company introduces a new Nest smart display at the upcoming Google I/O 2022. Reports hint towards the company launching a Nest smart display with a detachable screen.
What else?
In addition to this, Google is also expected to introduce updates to its virtual assistant — Google Assistant — Chrome OS, Google Play Store and Google Maps at the event.
