Google I/O 2025 is just around the corner, scheduled for May 20-21, and the tech giant has released its sessions list, giving attendees a glimpse of what to expect. One of the highlights this year is the unveiling of Material 3 ‘Expressive’, which represents a significant evolution in Android’s user experience design. This new approach emphasizes emotional design, aiming to create more engaging and personalized interactions for users.
Developers attending the event will receive design files and alpha code, enabling them to adapt their apps to this next-level UX. Another important topic at I/O will be desktop windowing and improved stylus support. Google plans to showcase features that assist users in managing various tasks simultaneously alongside the Ink API, which enhances stylus functionality on Android devices.
The anticipated event will also include major announcements regarding augmented and virtual reality (XR) experiences. Google’s sessions will provide insights into Android XR, including updates on the SDK Developer Preview transitioning to Beta and plans for a public launch later this year. Attendees can expect in-depth discussions around advances in AI, Web, and Cloud features as well.
Google will share updates on its Gemini model, outlining its capabilities and potential directions for development. This includes new built-in AI APIs set to be integrated into Chrome for better content summarization and writing assistance. With a packed agenda featuring keynote speeches, networking opportunities, and workshops, I/O 2025 promises to be an exciting experience for tech enthusiasts.
Developers are encouraged to register to stay informed as the event approaches. Additionally, there may be insights into Android 16, which is expected to launch in June 2025, as the company continues to fine-tune this latest software version.
