Update
I’d also love to see some cool new Chromebooks. Perhaps a showcase for how Chromebook Plus devices can stand out among the best Chromebooks on the market.
Could we see some new Pixel smartphones too? Of course, there are credible rumors that the Pixel 9 series will be launched today.
I’m interested to see what Google does here. I’ve had Pixel phones since the original, and my last phone was the Pixel Pro 7. So I really like Pixels, especially how they come with relatively lackluster versions of Android.
However, my Pixel Pro 7 unfortunately survived (long story that I don’t quite remember), so I have a new phone – a Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultra. If Google releases a Pixel 9 that surpasses it, I might get a little excited.
Personally, despite AI’s enormous potential, I haven’t really found any major AI releases that have fundamentally changed my day-to-day life. So I wonder if Google can change that.
Otherwise, as an Android smartphone owner, I’m really curious to see what Google has in store with Android 15, which is expected to arrive.
We’ll likely learn more about what Gemini can do, as well as how it integrates into core Google products like the Chrome browser and Pixel smartphones.
So what is everyone looking forward to at this year’s I/O event? There’s a lot of excitement about artificial intelligence, and it looks like Google is going to double down on its AI chatbot Gemini.

As I mentioned above, we’ll have Phil Burney, our US phones editor, on-site at the event in California (lucky him), while myself and much of the TechRadar team will be following online from less sunny climes. New York and London.
Hello! Welcome to our Google I/O liveblog! I’ll be running this live blog as the hype builds about what Google is going to show off today.
