It’s that time of year again when we start to see what the Google has been working on in the past year and what to expect from the future. I/O 2022 is Google’s yearly developer conference where it delves into detail about Android, Chrome, and everything else Google-related.

This year’s Google I/O will be completely virtual, with the main conference days being Wednesday and Thursday, May 11 and 12, which is one day shorter than previous events. On these two days, you’ll be able to tune in online and watch presentations from Google about its announcements. It will also stream the big presentations on YouTube through various Google official channels.

You can visit the Google I/O website to play with an interactive timer and see when the first event happens. The timer, if solved, shows the exact date and time that Google’s I/O 2022 will begin — but that information is also plainly available at the bottom of the page. Above the timer are tabs for agenda, products, I/O adventure, and more. Most of these tabs aren’t live yet and will be activated sometime before the event starts.

If you’re a developer and want to register for the event, you can do that on the website as well. According to Google, registering will help provide the best experience and will likely award you some documents and downloads to help your creations. Registering will also get you access to I/O Adventure, the Learning Lab, and community groups. The Learning Lab will include workshops, code labs, and tutorials.

Google has yet to reveal the full schedule for I/O 2022. It will show the whole plan a few weeks before the event so everyone can properly plan when to tune in. Events will likely start at 10 a.m. PT on may 11 with a big welcoming keynote and overview of projects. What comes after that is anyone’s guess at this point. We’ll probably hear about new advancements and features for Android 13, Wear OS 4, new A.I. software, and more.

Stay tuned here at Digital Trends to follow along as we share what Google reveals this year.

Google's Find My Device network is still a work in progress, with features being added slowly. According to 9to5Google, an important feature that could arrive soon has proven crucial to its chief competitor, Apple, with the Find My app on the iPhone.

In the latest version of the Find My Device app for Android, v3.1.148, Google has set what’s being called a “foundation” for a compass feature -- just like Apple's Precision Finding tool.

Can the Google Pixel 9 Pro beat my iPhone camera? I did a test to find out

I’m the kind of person who takes a ton of photos, whether it’s of my pets, my daughter and her shenanigans, my husband and I, or various things at Disneyland.

I am primarily an iPhone user, currently using the iPhone 15 Pro, with which I have taken hundreds, if not thousands, of photos over the past year. However, the Pixel 9 Pro is also one of my favorite phones of 2024, and Pixels are known for their reliable cameras. As such, I wondered which device would have the better camera, the Pixel 9 Pro or the iPhone 15 Pro? And I decided to find out.

I’m worried Google is going to ruin the Pixel 9 lineup
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the Google Pixel 9 Pro, and Google Pixel 9 all next to each other.

The Google Pixel 9 family is here, and it consists of four phones: the base model Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. That’s quite a beefy lineup that Google dropped this year, especially when they all have 12GB to 16GB RAM and the new Tensor G4 chip for all the AI goodies.

But then Google makes things a bit more complicated, as there’s the more budget-friendly Google Pixel 8a that came out a few months ago and the fact that it’s still selling the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and even the Pixel 7a. Rumor has it that there will be a Pixel 9a sometime next year, as Google has typically released a more budget-friendly Pixel phone halfway through the product cycle.
