Google kicks off its annual I/O developers conference today with a massive two-hour keynote starting at 1 p.m. ET. After skipping its usual in-person format last year due to the pandemic, the tech giant prepares a blitz of major software announcements to make up for lost time.
The spotlight shines brightest on Android 12 and its highly anticipated colorful interface makeover. Beyond mobile software, Google reveals new developments in the smart home space with potential updates to Nest security cameras, alongside possible news regarding Wear OS and Google TV.
While hardware takes a backseat at this event, the Pixel Buds A-series potentially makes its retail debut. The entire keynote streams live on YouTube, giving fans a front-row seat to all the upcoming Google Assistant advancements and new commands.
