Google may also tease a unified platform in development. This system is rumored to bring ChromeOS and Android closer together. It could reshape how devices work across laptops and phones.
AI will also play a major role in the event. Gemini-related updates are expected during the show. These features may expand across Android devices and services.
The Android Show will act as an early look before Google I/O 2026. It will set the stage for bigger announcements later in the month. More details are expected once the event goes live on May 12.
