Google I/O and Android Show: Where to Stream and What You Can Expect

From Android 16 to a whole host of AI updates, here’s what you might see at Google’s annual software event.

Google I/O runs May 20 and 21 this year, with Google holding its biggest keynote of the year right on day one. We expect Google to talk about its latest updates and innovations across all of its ever-expanding portfolio of products, perhaps even with some sneak peeks at upcoming hardware. But only if we all collectively cross our fingers.

But Google is also hosting a totally separate event solely focusing on Android. Called the Android Show: I/O Edition, this event will be prerecorded and will take place exactly a week before the I/O keynote. We expect it will focus much more on what we can expect from Android 16, Wear OS and other Android-related products.
By breaking out Android news into its own virtual event, Google frees itself to spend more time during the I/O keynote to talk about Gemini, Deep Mind, Android XR and Project Astra. It’s likely going to be a jam-packed series of events, so here’s how you can watch them both and what you can look forward to.

Android Show: I/O Edition: Where to watch

While the main I/O keynote isn’t until later in May, the company’s new Android Show is mere days away, taking place on May 13, 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT, 6 p.m. BST). It’ll be livestreamed on the Android YouTube channel. It will focus heavily on Android 16, which has been in public beta for some time and is expected to launch officially in June. It’s earlier than Android usually rolls out; a driving force behind that move is to give developers more time with the early software to help optimize apps and software that focus on AI.

Rumored Android 16 features include updates to the camera for more fine-grain control over exposure and color temperature, more dynamic app resizing when using foldable phones and updates to the ways notifications are displayed. It’s possible Google may also talk about Android XR, the company’s latest foray into mixed-reality headsets in partnership with Samsung and its Project Moohan headset. We also expect announcements around Wear OS, Google’s software powering Android-based smartwatches.

Google I/O: Where to watch

Google I/O proper kicks off with a keynote taking place on May 20, 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT, 6 p.m. BST). It’ll almost certainly be available to stream online on Google’s own YouTube channel, although a holding video is yet to be available. There’s no live link on the I/O website yet, either, though you can use the handy links to add the event to your calendar of choice. Expect links to a livestream to be available closer to the day.

What to expect from Google I/O 2025

Google has talked less and less about Android at its I/O developer conference, with uses of the word «Android» falling far below the 124 times the word «AI» was spoken on stage during the 2024 keynote. Given that Google is spinning its Android announcements into its own event, it’s safe to expect that Android will continue to take a back seat.

AI will definitely dominate the conversation at this year’s I/O. From its integration into Android to the always-seeing Project Astra, AI tools will continue to be infused deeper into everything that Google does, whether you like it or not. Hopefully, Google will do a better job of communicating its new AI tools than it did last year.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Verum E-SIM — https://esim.verum.im
World E-SIM — https://worldesim.me

Euro E-SIM — https://euro.esim.verum.im
Canada E-SIM — https://canada.esim.verum.im

Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
