The Android Show 2025: Latest news, announcements

And that's all for tonight folks! The Android event was all about the latest software developments surrounding the OS, and was surprisingly light on information about any new hardware. We should expect more at Google I/O next week. Stay tuned!

Google is planning to introduce a new "Find Hub" which shall collect all location-sharing features in a single place. Devices, people and, even satellite messaging will be included.

Find My Device is bound for an upgrade. It will now let you share your locations with airlines who might have lost your luggage.

Gemini is coming to Wear OS and Android Auto. Now, you can have an actual conversation with the AI on either your wrist or behind the wheel.

Material 3 Expressive will arrive on smartwatches as part of Wear OS 6, and shall be optimized to improve battery life. As per Google, watches running Wear OS 6 will see 10% improvement to their battery life.

Live Updates will be a part of Android 16 beta. Users will see a real-time update bar on top of their phone, which shall allow them to keep tabs on what's important. It will be just like Apple's Dynamic Island but without the Island.

Material 3 Expressive design language is coming this month. It offers several customization options and a bevy of colors and animations. It will arrive as part of the Android 16 beta.

The Android Show: I/O Edition has finally started. We are seeing a footage of Sameer Samat (President, Android Ecosystem) where he is promising a bevy of updates.

Google's latest OS to power mixed reality devices, Android XR should be revealed tonight. It has been developed with Samsung and Qualcomm, and shall have the ability to "fully use Gemini AI."

Android 16 is rumored to be released by the end of this month or early June. A definite date is unavailable but that should change after tonight's event.

Google has gone all in on AI with its Gemini models. So, how can Android stay untouched? We expect the tech giant to reveal how Gemini Live will work in harmony with its latest OS.

Android is all set to become more visually attractive thanks to a makeover called 'Material Expressive 3.' It is tipped to make the OS more interactive in nature. Its specifics will surely be revealed at tonight's event.

Users have long been clamoring for desktop mode and Android 16 might make it a reality. A taskbar, an app drawer button, standard Android navigation buttons, as well as floating app windows should all be part of the package.

Dark mode is great for your eyes, especially when you use your phone in the dark. However, all apps don't support this feature. Android 16 might finally force all apps to do so.

A proper battery health menu for Android might finally be on the cards. Android 16 should show how healthy your battery actually is via a percentage.

Tonight's main focus will be on Android 16. It should offer improved notifications and a new design language called Material 3 Expressive.

The Android Show: I/O Edition will take place at 10:30pm IST. You can catch the event live on YouTube and the Android website.

Hello! Tonight, Google will conduct a special event dedicated to all things Android. This event comes just a week before the company's annual developer conference, Google I/O. Stay tuned!
