Google hosting The Android Show on May 12: 'one of the biggest years for Android yet'

Google will stream The Android Show | I/O Edition on May 12, ahead of I/O 2026.

The pre-I/O event is expected to spotlight consumer Android updates rather than developer news.

Likely topics include Material 3 Expressive, Find Hub, Gemini, Wear OS, Android Auto, and Google TV.

The move suggests Google is saving deeper developer announcements for I/O 2026.
