Google I/O is the company's annual event held at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View. The only exception was 2020, which was affected by the coronavirus pandemic. This year's date is set for May 11-12, and even if there will be room for a few onlookers from among the company's employees, it will still be mostly an online event. The opening keynote is what interests most people the most. It is on it that we should find out all the news.

News in Google Play
Google will also announce news on its Google Play store. App teardowns suggest that Google Pay could be renamed Google Wallet. The name wouldn't be new: Google began its foray into online payments with Google Wallet debit cards eleven years ago, only to rebrand the service four years later as Android Pay and in 2018 on Google Pay. Either way, Google says that “payments are always evolving, and so is Google Pay,” which is certainly interesting wording.

What's new in Chrome OS
Recently, Google has been investing heavily in its Chrome OS operating system, trying to make it a platform that supports almost every use case imaginable on desktops and tablets.

What's new in Google Home
Google is also constantly trying to develop the smart home segment, and one of its most interesting upcoming devices in this area could be the Nest Hub with a detachable display. Google promises that the device will help the user "discover a new era for Google Home". Of course, he could also focus on interoperability with other smart home platforms, as he is one of the main initiators of the universal Matter standard, which should simplify the functioning of smart homes in the future.
privacy sandbox
Privacy Sandbox is Google's new attempt to introduce a replacement for cookies after it failed with the FLoC initiative. A new privacy-focused ad targeting technology was recently made available in developer preview on Androidu, so it will certainly be interesting to see how Google combines these two fundamentally different concepts.
Hardware
In addition, it is speculated that Google could present (at least in the form of a teaser) its first smartwatch at the conference pixel Watch, about which there has really been a lot of talk lately in connection with the lost prototype. Pixels Watch they should have mobile connectivity and weigh 36g, which is said to be 10g heavier than the 40mm version Watch4. Google's first watch should otherwise have 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, heart rate monitoring, Bluetooth 5.2 and could be available in several models. Software-wise, they will be powered by the system Wear OS (probably in version 3.1 or 3.2). Its next mid-range smartphone, the Pixel 6a, is said to have a certain chance of being revealed.
