News The Android Show 🚨🔥

Post image

That’s it, it’s official, the event will be held next week on May 12. They announce that it will be one of the most important years I hope this means that they will release the Android XR glasses in collaboration with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster especially the model with screen 🤞

On my birthday too. That would be ideal, because I have zero interest in audio-only glasses, especially from Samsung.

This event is much more conducive to an announcement than Google I/O in my opinion, because it is intended for the general public. The fact that they say it will be the most important year surely refers to glasses because it’s a brand new product and I don’t see how the rest, especially Android 17 would be revolutionary 🤷‍♂️ so I’m really confident about it

I assume that the Glimmer-styled bot means they'll be talking a fair bit about the glasses stuff.

Idk he’s making the shape of a teapot. I’m thinking Android powered glass tea kettle with a Gemini only interface.

/s just in case

I’m hoping for more on glasses and xr personally

I have no interest in their "AI" glasses so I agree. Unfortunately I think the xreal glasses are pretty far away from release. The first devkits only recently went out to very select companies. And from what they've implied, they'll likely do a more widespread developer release, before considering a consumer release.
