Google I/O 2022 is one week away and the keynote on May 11 is eagerly awaited by people across the world. Alphabet CEO, Sundar Pichai will preside over the session, walking us through the different Google products that will be available for developers and later to the consumers.
Google I/O 2022 is likely to be the platform where we will see the next Android version, probably a few hardware products from the company, which could have a new addition. Apart from that, the keynote should also give us clarity on Google’s direction with its software for different form factors, including the foldable.

Here’s what we expect to see at the Google I/O 2022 keynote next week.
Android 13 Detailed
Google I/O 2022 keynote is going to talk about a lot of things, but all eyes will be on the new Android 13 version. As you might be aware, the Android 13 Developer Preview and the Beta version have already rolled out, albeit for select devices.
Now, the keynote will give Google the chance to shed more details on the new Android flavour, and talk about the features and improvements done to the operating system. The first set of devices to get Android 13 are likely to be the next Pixel flagship phones, and Samsung could also have its say. Next week, we’ll have a better idea about Android 13 and its features.
New WearOS Version For Smartwatch
Google and Samsung showed us the new WearOS at the last Google I/O keynote and this year we expect the partnership to have solidified to form a cohesive wearable platform. The WearOS 3.2 version is expected to see a big jump in performance, and Google could use the software for its own smartwatch as well.
Chrome OS Gets Further Boost
But Google I/O 2022 is not just going to be about phones and Android. Google also has a major focus on Chrome OS which is used on Chromebooks and other devices by the developers. Chrome OS got support for Android apps, and we believe the integration is likely to get stronger from here on. Many also expect Chrome OS to be offered on high-end machines.
