The confirmation of Google I/O 2024 marks its scheduling for May 14, 2024, at 10:00 AM PT. This developer conference will illuminate Android 15 and Wear OS features, alongside Gemini and Google’s plans to integrate AI into all products. The event will also unveil the Pixel 8a and possibly offer a first look at the Pixel Fold 2, among other reveals.
Once again, it’s time for Google I/O, where we get to catch up on what the tech giant has been working on since the last developer conference. This time around, obtaining the Google I/O 2024 event date wasn’t as straightforward. Instead, the community had to solve a new puzzle to uncover the date. After about 4 hours of tackling the puzzle, it was cracked, and now we have the official date: May 14, 2024, at 10:00 AM PT.
As of now, there are 60 days, 15 hours, and 45 minutes left until the devcon begins. If you’re on the puzzle page, clicking the “Save the date” button at the top will reveal the event date. For newcomers to Google’s approach, here’s some context: Google I/O 2023 took place on May 10, while Google I/O 2022 started on May 11. Following this pattern, this year’s date aligns with Google’s consistent timeline.
Google I/O 2024: What to Look Forward to?
Last year, we saw hardware like the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a go official, along with details on the Android 14 feature set, Google Bard (now called Google Gemini), and more. This year, we’ll likely hear more about Android 15, the first Developer Preview for which rolled out recently.
Expect the unveiling of the Google Pixel 8a during the event, following Google’s tradition of introducing its mid-range A-series at I/O. From the Pixel 3a to the Pixel 7a, all phones have been released at I/O, so unless there’s a last-minute change, the Pixel 8a is likely to debut at the event.
Additionally, we might get a first look at the Pixel Fold 2 this year, considering Google’s focus on improving its first foldable. Recent leaks suggesting display production starting in April make an I/O announcement possible.
At the core of the event, anticipate hearing more about Google’s plans for integrating AI into its products and services. There’s always the element of surprise, so who knows what’s in store.
