Google will stream a pre-recorded presentation called The Android Show on May 12 at 1PM ET. The event will highlight updates to the Android ecosystem before the main I/O 2026 conference starts on May 19. Viewers can watch the full show live on YouTube.
The presentation will offer a preview of the next version of Android. It may also include details on Aluminum OS, a project to combine Android and ChromeOS into one platform. Sameer Samat, president of Google's Android ecosystem, confirmed work on the effort last July, and leaked screenshots have recently surfaced through a bug report.
