The Android Show I/O Edition 2026 has been officially announced by Google and will stream on May 12, ahead of Google I/O 2026 on May 19.
The online event will focus on upcoming Android developments, with hints that this could be “one of the biggest years for Android yet.” Android 17 is expected to feature prominently, possibly revealing new features before its anticipated June release.
There’s also growing speculation about Google’s rumored Aluminium OS – a potential merger of Android and ChromeOS – which could be teased or unveiled during the show.
Overall, the event serves as a dedicated Android showcase ahead of I/O, giving the platform its own spotlight separate from Google’s broader AI announcements.
