Among the many tech events held each year, Google I/O is one of the most exciting, especially for Android and Pixel fans. This year’s Google I/O 2023 event is no exception. Many devices are expected to show up at the event, and the recent boom in AI chatbots has definitely pissed off Google.
The event kicks off on May 10, 2023, with the company hosting a live keynote and numerous sessions and workshops in which users can participate. This event gives us the best idea of what Google has in store for his Android, search, AI and more. The company also plans to post a schedule ahead of the event, which should give us some early insight into what updates Google has planned.
Below are some of the biggest announcements the company is expected to make at Google I/O 2023.
How to watch Google I/O
The Google I/O 2023 keynote will kick off the event on May 10, when CEO Sundar Pichai and a number of Google executives will showcase some of the company’s highlights for the year. The keynote will likely be published on his website at I/O, but like last year, Google will live stream it on his YouTube, and other sessions are likely to be published as well. I have.

Unfortunately, due to the limited live audience, not everyone will be able to attend the Shoreline Amphitheater.

You don’t have to register to watch the sessions and keynotes, but if you want the full experience or want to create a developer profile for additional benefits, we encourage you to do so.
Google Pixel tablet
Of the Pixel devices we expect to see at Google I/O, the only ones technically confirmed by Google are Pixel tablets. The company hinted at this tablet at his Pixel event last year, but it looks like the device sits somewhere between his Android tablet and the Nest Hub. It does have a dock that displays ambient information, but instead of running a dedicated OS like Fuchsia, it will likely run Android 13. Android 13 is optimized to work better on large screen devices such as foldables and tablets.
Google hasn’t revealed much about the tablet yet, but we do know that the company plans to release it this year, and I/O seems like the ideal time to do it.
google pixel 7a
Google hasn’t said anything about the Pixel 7a, but we expect the device to be announced at Google I/O, much like the Pixel 6a. As for the device itself, the phone will reportedly feature his OLED display with a higher refresh rate at 90Hz, matching some of his top budget Android phones.
We could also get a higher resolution primary camera and the phone could feature the new Tensor G2 chipset, offering new features beyond the 6a. We’re not sure about the price, but if it’s close to the price of the 6a at launch, it could definitely hit among the best budget Android phones of the year.
google pixel fold
The Pixel Fold has been highly rumored for some time. There was some suspicion that we could actually get our hands on the device any time soon, but it looks like the star is lining up for a Google I/O announcement alongside his Pixel 7a.
There have been quite a few leaks regarding the device, from renderings to specs, so we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the device. It’s not that narrow. Apparently, the 7.6-inch display inside features a QHD+ resolution and has a 120Hz refresh rate. The display has fairly large bezels and a built-in selfie camera.
It will likely feature the Tensor G2, and according to recent rumors, it will be released in June, right after Google I/O. Given the fact that this device seems to have been around recently, this seems likely.
Google Pixel 8 teaser
The Pixel 8 series hasn’t been talked about much, but renders of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have recently surfaced, showing similarities to previous models but with some notable differences. For one, both devices seem to feature smaller displays, 5.8 for the Pixel 8 and 6.5 for the Pixel 8 Pro.
Additionally, Google is making the phone’s corners more rounded, and the Pixel 8 Pro appears to have a mysterious sensor next to its triple camera array. Will Google bring his LiDAR to his Pixel?The Pixel 4 had Soli, so maybe Google is trying to differentiate the camera system with some interesting tech. Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s something special.
The Pixel 8 series is unlikely to be announced at Google I/O, but like last year, Google could tease the device ahead of a full reveal later this year.
Android 14
Android 14 is already in developer preview, so we’re looking at the next major version of the OS to see what it’s bringing to phones later this year. We already know that the satellite connection is in progress. Additionally, the developer preview revealed work on additional language features, additional font scaling, and improved background app management to improve battery life. However, Google has more details about the biggest changes and features of Android 14.
By the time I/O starts, Android 14 will have reached the beta stage. This will give us a better idea of what to expect when the OS stabilizes later this year.
lots of AI
AI is the talk of the town and ChatGPT has pretty much taken over our lives. Google knows AI well. Because AI is built into almost everything Google does. But the competition seems to be heating up and forcing the company to act. After Microsoft integrated ChatGPT into Bing and Edge, Google announced it was developing and testing its own AI chatbot, Bard, built on a large language model.
You’ll hear a lot about Google’s work in this area and other ways Google is bringing AI into our lives. If you’re lucky, you might get some attention from ChatGPT.
