Google Android Show 2026 Live Updates: Ahead of its flagship annual developer conference, Google hosted The Android Show: I/O edition on Tuesday, May 12, where the tech giant announced a slew of new AI features and hardware, starting with Gemini Intelligence which looks to enable users to automate daily tedious tasks such as filling out forms or finding your class syllabus in Gmail then putting the books you need in your cart.
It will be rolled out starting with the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer, and will become available across your Android devices including your watch, car, glasses and laptops later this year.
