Here is a meeting that tech lovers will not fail to note in their calendar: the Google I/O 2025 will be held on May 20 and 21, 2025. The FAQ, available on the firm’s website, indicates that the event will be “Open to everyone online” and will understand “Speeches and live sessions”without forgetting a physical presence at the Mountain View shoreliner shoreline, California, confirmation took place after Google launched a puzzle game, a habit for the American giant, to raise the date of the event. This year, the Google I/O falls at the time of the Build conference in Microsoft (May 19 to 22) and the program promises to be generous.

During the latest edition, Google had multiplied the announcements by revealing new features and models of AI Gemini, the Assistant of IA Project Astra, the model of IA Veo to generate videos and a redesign focused on For Google Search. The I/O conference can also be used to present products, such as Pixel Fold, Pixel Tabblet or Pixel 7a in 2023. And this year?
What should we expect from Google I/O 2025?
Presented by Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, the opening keynote is used to evoke the main strategic orientations of the American firm. “During the I/O conference, you will learn more about the brand new products, technologies and innovations of Google in the fields of AI, Android, and much more,” said Google in its official announcement.
AI at the heart of the conference: Gemini and the news
Unsurprisingly, the Gemini AI will still be at the heart of the announcements and Google will present its latest news to maintain the course in the face of competition (Openai, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Deepseek, Meta, etc.). As a reminder, the Mountain View firm unveiled Gemini 2.0 at the end of last year and has just enriched its range with new versions: Gemini 2.0 Pro for complex requests, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking for reasoning, and Gemini 2.0 Flash -Lite. This last model, as its name suggests, is a lightened version that focuses on speed and energy efficiency.
The I/O 2025 event will be an opportunity to present the continuation of the operators for a firm which plans to spend $ 75 billion in AI this year.
Android 16: what you need to know about the next version
While Android 15 is still far from available on all eligible smartphones, his successor is already on the way. A beta is already available and allows Google to refine the settings before officially presenting Android 16 during the I/O 2025 conference. The stable version of Android 16 should arrive from spring 2025 by providing better management of folding smartphones , even more artificial intelligence or dynamic notifications (Live Updates).
Android XR: Google embarks on mixed reality
Developed in partnership with Samsung, this platform has already made an appearance and Google will confirm its ambitions in mixed reality during its event. Facing Apple, the Mountain View firm wants to democratize connected helmets and glasses by offering its technology and services, like Gemini. The AI assistant will be at the heart of the vocal and visual interactions of the devices with Android XR, such as the Samsung Project Moohan.
Google Pixel 9a, Wear OS 6… Other potential ads
Other new products should be created during the Google event, including new products. The rumors are going well concerning the Pixel 9a and the Pixel Watch 3 watch, but an official launch during the I/O remains uncertain. Google’s future affordable smartphone could thwart Apple’s plans with its future iPhone SE 4 while Pixel Watch 3 would highlight the new features focused on health monitoring thanks to the IA of Wear OS 6.
