Google I/O, the company’s annual flagship event, is just a few days away. The event is expected to see significant software and hardware launches beginning on May 10. The tech juggernaut is also anticipated to expand on its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Bard during the occasion.

 Google Pixel Tablet

Google initially discussed its Pixel Tablet at an event in October of 2022. According to reports, the tablet is equipped with a Google Tensor G2 CPU. The tablet might include a wireless charging port that can transform it into a smart home speaker, and it will feature a revolutionary nano-ceramic coating that looks like porcelain.

The tablet is anticipated to have a 10.95-inch screen, up to 8GB of RAM, and front- and rear-facing 8MP Sony IMX355 cameras. Price estimates for Google’s Pixel Tablet range from EUR 600 to EUR 650 (about $54,000 to $58,000).

Folding Google Pixel

Online rumors about the Pixel Fold’s existence revealed images with what appeared to be the Oppo Find N Fold’s design. A 7.6-inch main screen and a 5.8-inch cover screen are anticipated for the foldable phone. 

Android 12L will be used on the device. Google reportedly plans to modify popular apps like Gmail and YouTube for the Pixel Fold. The cost of the smartphone is anticipated to exceed $1,700 (or around Rs. 1.40 lakh).

Pixel 7a Google

The Pixel 7a, the successor to the Pixel 6a, is reported to have a better 90Hz display. The Google Tensor G2 processor might be used to power it. An improved camera system featuring a 64MP primary camera and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor may be added to the device. Regarding pricing, the Google Pixel 7a is rumored to be available for $499, or about 40,000.

Android 14

The Android 14 developer preview has already been released by Google, and the official deployment might start as soon as October of this year. The company is anticipated to reveal a number of features of the forthcoming Android operating system during the Google I/O event.

Google AI capabilities

“What’s new in generative AI?” is a question that Google asks on the official Google I/O 2023 website. The business might divulge “a new suite of tools that make it simple for developers to build on top of our (Google’s) best models,” according to speculation.
