Google I/O is just a week away, and that means it’s time for another Android Show event to unpack all the Android ecosystem highlights Google has in store.  Android Show: I/O Edition is set to kick off on YouTube and the Android website at 10AM PT / 1PM ET on Tuesday, May 12th.  Based on last year’s Android Show, we’re expecting this event to be fairly short, around half an hour or less, and include some key features of Android 17 along with a release window for it. The Android Show will also likely show off some updates to Gemini, particularly any features baked into Android, and may also include looks at Android XR and Aluminium OS, Google’s rumored PC version of Android.  Follow along here for all of the news and updates on Android Show: I/O Edition 2026.
