Google Announces The Android Show: I/O Edition Livestream on May 13

Google the Android Show I_O Edition

Google has just announced The Android Show: I/O Edition, a special livestream dedicated to new Android innovations on May 13 at 10 AM PT. The digital event will happen a full week ahead of Google’s annual I/O developer conference, which will kick off on May 20.

“Exciting updates are coming to Android. Tune in to The Android Show: I/O Edition on Tuesday, May 13, 10 AM PT to hang out with Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem, and the Android team to be the first to learn about innovative new experiences,” Google wrote in the description for the video teaser.

In recent years, AI and Google Gemini have been getting far more stage time than Android at the Google I/O introducing keynotes. That’s why the company may prefer to highlight new Android features ahead of the main Google I/O event. Google published the full I/O 2025 schedule last week, and there will still be over 20 sessions dedicated to Android.

The fourth Android 16 beta was released on April 18, and we should be getting closer to the final release. So far, the main updates include Live Updates to keep track of important ongoing activities on the lock screen, a notification cooldown feature to reduce distractions from notifications received during a short time, built-in battery health diagnostics, and more.
