The annual developer conference Google is scheduled for this week. The opening presentation is expected to take place on Wednesday, May 11. However, the conference is designed to help developers get amazing tools and platforms from Google. The event is dedicated to a much larger audience with the announcements of software and hardware.

People might experience various announcements related to advanced hardware releases. There are leaks and rumors pointing to the first wearable from the search giant, the Pixel Watch. The software announcements are expected to focus on the key operating systems of Google.

Android 13, Wear OS, and Android TV

However, Android 13 is the upcoming advanced version to be released in a couple of months. The event could also show the announcement of new features from other platforms, such as Android TV and Wear OS. Ever-demanding services including Google Docs and Google Maps are expected to receive new announcements during the event.

Various leaks suggested Google is looking to present its own smartwatch. Some rumors showed specs, and design, and predicted the US Patent and Trademark Office could reveal the name of the Pixel Watch. However, it is an ostensible prototype of the smartwatch discovered deserted in a restaurant, which started flooding posting photos online.

Pixel 6A with Tensor Processor & 12MP Camera

Google seemed to present its flagship pixel smartphones for the last 3 years with a cheaper version and decreased prices. Now the turn is for the Pixel 6 but leaks predicted the Pixel 6A is supposedly different from A-series smartphones. However, other smartphones such as Pixel 4A and 5A have camera features similar to their rivals.

An earlier report suggested the new smartphone would feature a Tensor processor similar to the Pixel 6. But it would have just a 12-megapixel main camera sensor, while the Pixel 6 has a 50-megapixel camera sensor. The announcements at the Google I/O event are coming earlier compared to the midrange phones launch in August.

Pixel Buds A-series and Pixel Buds Pro

A recent leak from Jon Prosser suggests Google is seeking to present new wireless earbuds, the Pixel Buds Pro. But he didn’t mention its features and specs, but Pro word is often used to show its active noise-canceling support. It would become the first of a couple of truly wireless earbuds from Google. Meanwhile, Google is currently selling the Pixel Buds A-series true wireless earbuds.

The Pixel Buds A-Series was actually announced as a more affordable rival to the 2nd generation Pixel Buds. But the company has now discontinued the Pixel Buds and just selling the affordable earbuds in the lineup. However, the addition of Pro-branded true wireless earbuds is considered a natural change.

Android 12L Nest Hub display, and Android 13

There is also a next key version of Google’s mobile operating system, the Android 13. This OS was already released in beta version offering small views of Google’s update plans. The Android 13 is expected to continue extraordinary work started with Android 12 from Google. However, Android 13 isn’t just a key update Google has planned to its mobile OS in the current year.

There was also a new version of the operating system customized for foldable and tablet devices, the Android 12L version. It is also expected to be released this year and will ship on devices from Microsoft, Samsung, and Lenovo. Google is reportedly working on foldable devices and is expected to launch them this year. Moreover, there is also a follow-up of last year’s Nest Hub smart display.
