The American Google Corporation will introduce the Android 16 operating system (OS) in May. This is reported on the company's website.

Google said that the next Google I/O developer conference is scheduled for May 20 and 21. At an annual event, the corporation usually announces a new version of Android — it is expected that this will happen this year. The opening presentation of the conference will be broadcast on the Internet.

The corporation did not disclose the details of the new conference. However, The Verge journalists believe that in addition to Android 16, the company can name new artificial intelligence (AI) functions on smartphones, talk about the capabilities of the updated Google search and show some gadgets.

The media authors recalled the Google I/O 2024 conference, which was also held in May. The event featured the Gemini AI AI model, the Project Astra AI virtual assistant, and a redesigned Google search. In addition, the American IT giant announced the Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet and Pixel 7A smartphones.

At the end of 2024, Google introduced the second beta version of the Android 16 operating system (OS). In 2025, the new Android should be released earlier - in the middle of the year.
