News & Reviews:   Google IO

Google’s first foldable smartphone, the Google Pixel Fold has long been in the rumour mills. Now, we may just receive confirmed details about the device and its launch date thanks to alleged internal documents from Google.

After the disaster that was the Pixel Slate and saying that it wouldn't be making tablet devices anymore, Google is giving Android tablets another go and will be releasing a 'premium' Pixel Tablet next year. Teased during the Google I/O event earlier today, the tablet will follow the Pixel smartphone lineup and will have Google's custom Tensor chip under the hood.

Google may be releasing the much anticipated Google Pixel 6a at its annual developer conference next month after the device was potentially spotted getting FCC listing. The timing of the listing aligns perfectly with Google I/O which will take place this 11 May in Mountain View, California.

Google I/O is back once again this year and Google did a bunch of announcements on just day one. Of course, the most important highlight of them all is about Android 12 and it seems that the beta is still ongoing. Without further ado, here's everything you need to know about Android 12.

The COVID-19 virus is sure doing a "good job", but not so much for the tech industry as it has forced another big company to cancel out an event. This time, the Google I/O won't be happening followed by their Cloud Next event in San Francisco. The Google I/O was supposed to be held in mid-May 2020.

With the upcoming release of Android N, Google has taken steps to create a more robust VR experience for the Android platform. During Google I/O, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai was on stage to introduce DayDream, the VR platform that will be built into Android itself.

As a customer of the Android platform and ecosystem, Xiaomi should be privy to many of the technology that is heading their way from Google. Now, they may just be right by Google's side for new technology, as the Vice President of International for Xiaomi, Hugo Barra, dropped massive hints on his twitter acount these past couple of days.
