Google is kicking off the week before its I/O developer conference by surfacing key product changes early.
To make sure big announcements don’t get lost in its two-hour keynote, the company used an episode of The Android Show to preview the next Android, new AI features, and a handful of smaller updates.
Android 16’s fresh look
In the latest episode of The Android Show, Google revealed a redesigned look for Android 16. The preview focused on visual updates that will shape the OS when it debuts, giving developers and users an early glimpse at the system’s evolving interface.
AI features revealed ahead of I/O
Google also used the segment to highlight upcoming artificial intelligence additions. The company showcased several AI-driven enhancements that will integrate into its services and apps, signaling a major theme for this year’s I/O.
Other small updates
Beyond the Android refresh and AI teasers, the episode dropped a few smaller items. Google chose the format to surface these details in advance so they won’t be buried during the keynote.
