Overview

  • Google announced The Android Show: I/O Edition, a virtual event airing May 13, 2025, to showcase Android updates.
  • This marks the first time Android has been given a dedicated pre-I/O event, reflecting the volume of new features to share.
  • Android ecosystem president Sameer Samat will lead the presentation, which will stream on YouTube and the Android website.
  • Despite the standalone event, Android will still feature in keynotes and technical sessions during the main Google I/O on May 20–21.
  • The separation of Android updates suggests the main I/O conference will focus more heavily on AI advancements, including Google’s Gemini model.
