Google I/O 2021 : What to Expect
Though Google has maintained silence on what we could expect at I/O 2021 event, speculations are rife that the tech giant may unveil Android 12 at its I/O 2021. CEO Sundar Pichai, last month, had asserted that some “significant product updates and announcements” would be a part of the virtual conference.
A new leak indicated that Android 12 might include some new functional changes, including Google widgets and animations. According to Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech, for starters, there’s a brand new music widget in the notifications bar, alongside newly redesigned Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles. There’s also a new volume slider, redesigned notifications, a new clock widget and even a new weather widget.
Presser suggests that the new Android 12 release will focus heavily on the introduction of a new user interface. The keyboard, app icons and other UI elements all match to create a consistent design across the system.
Besides, Google Assistant is also expected to receive some major updates. On its developer blog, Google has said that some “new product announcements” and “feature updates” are coming. “Expect to hear about what’s happened in Assistant over the past year, new product announcements, feature updates, and tooling changes”, it said.
