Google showcased the upcoming changes with Android 16 and Material 3 Expressive guidelines, focusing on color, new shapes, motion effects, and visual cues.
Material 3 Expressive aims to enhance user experience with new motion effects like blur and organic-looking interfaces.
Android 16 will feature new type styles, 35 additional shapes, and an expanded color range for developers.
The design overhaul targets an emotional connection with users, particularly appealing to 18-24-year-olds and potentially iPhone fans.
New design elements will extend to Wear OS 6, dynamic color themes, Google apps like Photos and Maps, and Live Updates similar to iPhone's features.
Security enhancements in Android 16 include protection against scams, Advanced Protection mode, and improved Find My Device functionality.
Google plans to introduce Gemini technology across Wear OS, Android Auto, Google TV, and potentially XR glasses.
Gemini will enable voice interactions, but the concept raises concerns regarding privacy and AI usage.
Specific launch timelines were not provided, suggesting Google I/O may reveal more about upcoming features and developments.
Expectations for Google I/O include focus on AI advancements and further updates on Gemini and Android XR technologies.
