Google will present its releases between May 7 and 9 at Google I / O 2019. The annual event promises to unveil the new version of Android's operating system, Android 10 (Q). Samsung, Motorola and LG phones, for example, may receive the software update. Details of the Pixel 3a and Android TV Box devices are also expected at the time. The company's gaming platform, Stadia, launched in 2018, is expected to gain more functionality that impacts the user's experience. The conference takes place in Mountain View, California, United States.
There is expectation for the improvement of other services, such as Google Assistant. The personal assistant can receive optimization in the intelligence system she can already send a message on WhatsApp and consult the dictionary, for example. Augmented reality features should be incorporated into Chrome OS the company has invested in technology for its products. Those interested in following the event should go to YouTube, which often broadcasts simultaneously.

The most anticipated debut for Google I / O is the new version for Android phones. In March, the company released a first beta of Android Q, which reinforces the likelihood that more details will be addressed at the Google developer meeting.
In the testing platform, privacy is one of the key points, especially when it comes to enhancing application access protection. Shortcuts should be used to send content directly to contacts and, if any services need it, a settings panel should be displayed. The simultaneous use of applications in the expected software promises to increase the dynamics of use. In addition, navigation gestures would have undergone a reworking.
There are chances of a dark mood and a work area. This would offer a PC-like interface and would not be related to the manufacturer's model. Similar to Apple's Face ID, facial recognition can also be confirmed on the new Android operating system. For now, no updates have been confirmed.
Google's possible phone, the Pixel 3a, another expected item at the conference. With medium size, the handset may have a larger version, the Pixel 3a XL. If the device is not commented on, it will be a surprise, as leaked information from smartphones indicates that they will have significant 12 megapixel cameras for high resolution photos. The inclusion of the Pixel Visual Core promises to bring adjustments such as increased sophistication in two-tone contrast, plus the use of backlight buttons.
The price of new phones is still a mystery. For the standard version of Pixel 3a, the estimated value is US $ 799 (around R $ 3,200, in direct conversion, excluding taxes). For this type of technology, an affordable price is not expected.

Google's smart device should gain a dimension of 10 inches. In the handset, a camera would be coupled to sound motion and sound alerts, a feature that can be used with either a security device or a transmission medium for Duo video calls. Nest Hub Max's narrow speaker sound would add more quality and clarity to the sound of YouTube music and videos, for example. After Google brings news about the device, the stakes for the technological equipment to be released are higher.
The platform aims to transform the way games are consumed and proposes to make several titles available in an online catalog. The idea could be compared to the Netflix service, as Google Stadia aims to offer a monthly subscription to the player to access various games. This does not require having the console to run the game. The user could also record the game itself and stream it on YouTube, in addition to having a debt resolution, by consulting excerpts played on the videos of other gamers.
In March, Google mentioned the service plans at the Game Developers Conference. More details will be revealed in the summer at the E3 Los Angeles conference. However, more news is likely to increase public interest in Google I / O.

Rumors point to updates from Android TV, but not yet specific to the changes. There is public interest in an update of the Google TV platform not to stay behind on the market. The trend indicates that modernized interfaces have already been launched by competitors, such as the latest Samsung and LG TV models, which go beyond Google Assistant support.

The highlight feature for Google Assistant was Duplex. Technology uses artificial intelligence to speak like a human, through mechanisms naturally used in speech such as "hmm" -type expressions and other sounds used in telephone calls that make a call to the user. With an eye on market investments, it is possible that some change will be disclosed, as well as more creative ways to use the personal assistant.
The arrival of Google Lens allowed the company to leverage technology to superimpose digital images in real-world scenarios. In addition, Google also offers a tool that allows the user to view digital arrows on the phone screen when in Maps navigation mode. Thus, to search for information about a location by the smartphone camera, such as information from a restaurant, for example, you only need to point the camera at the location. Such resources are only possible thanks to augmented reality resources. Therefore, Google I / O can be a timely occasion to surprise with news in this regard.
Chrome and Chrome OS changes are also considered at the annual Google event. The company has invested in efforts to get Android apps to integrate with Chrome OS. DayDream VR technology can also be part of the program of subjects to be presented at the event, as it has been three years since the launch of the virtual reality feature.
