Ahead of the 2019 edition of its annual I/O developer conference that’s right around the corner, Google offered a bit of a tease for the event during its most recent earnings call, hinting that we’re in store for a number of hardware announcements at this year’s event.
Normally, Google uses I/O — set for May 7 through May 9 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View — to run through lots of software, AI-related and other Web-based announcements. There will definitely be a bevy of such news offered up this time around, including the expectation that we’ll get a look, if not a name, at the successor to Android Pie. Read on, though, for a look at some of the hardware introductions and other news Google is likely to make next week, as well.
This one is a no-brainer. All signs point to Google continuing its usual tradition of unveiling a new version of Android next week, following the first Android Q beta release in March.
The conference will run through the final official feature set, but the beta already points to details such as Google improving privacy controls, in addition to the inclusion of support for foldable handsets for the first time.
