Google Bard AI

Google Bard, the company's generative AI tool, will take centre stage at the event. Artificial Intelligence has become a major point of contingency in the wake of the rise of ChatGPT. And according to reports, Bard AI seems to be lacking against the latest iteration of Open AI's chatbot.

Google Bard AI is currently only limited to select users, although the search giant could announce plans for a wider rollout at the upcoming Google I/O event. We can also expect Google to showcase seeding its Bard platform directly into its bouquet of products and services.

Android 14

Android 14 will take centre stage at Google I/O 2023. The first developer preview for Android 14 was released back in February, while Android 14 Beta 1 was available last month, although only limited Pixel users could enroll their devices.

However, at the latest Google event, the search giant could announce a rollout date for Android 14 Beta. The new Android 14 features could include improved privacy controls, advanced camera features, better battery life, improved gaming tools, smarter AI integration, and more.

Google Pixel Fold

Google will announce its first foldable phone at I/O 2023. The search giant has already teased the design of the Pixel Fold, while the specifications of the device have been leaked to a great extent.

The Google Pixel Fold will be powered by the Tensor G2 SoC and will come with a triple-rear camera setup on the back. The foldable mechanism is similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. Check out all the Google Pixel Fold specifications here.

Google Pixel 7a

The latest addition to Google's affordable 'Pixel a' line-up will also make its debut at the latest I/O event. The Google Pixel 7a has already been teased on the company's official social media handles. Moreover, the Google Pixel 7a launch date in India is set for May 11.

The Google Pixel 7a has already been listed on Flipkart and according to leaks, is expected to be a major upgrade over the Pixel 6a. For more details about the Google Pixel 7a specifications, head on over to the link.

Google Pixel Tab

Google is also introducing a new Android tablet in the form of the Pixel Tab. While details about the Pixel tablet are kept under wraps, it was recently listed on Amazon by accident. Moreover, the tablet has been extensively leaked in the recent past.

The Google Pixel Tab is expected to feature a premium mid-range spec sheet. It was previously reported that the tablet would use the Tensor G2 chipset and will fall in the sub-50K segment. Here are the expected Pixel Tab specifications.

And there's more!

Other news at the Google I/O 2023 event will likely include the announcement of the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, ahead of the official launch in October. We will also likely see the introduction of the Tensor G3 chipset, which will power the Pixel 8 series.

Google could also announce a new pair of Pixel earbuds as well as new iteration of the Pixel Watch. Stay tuned to Gizbot for all the latest information about Google I/O 2023.
