What to expect at Google I/O 2021
Google regularly hosts this developer conference to keep them abreast of the latest innovations and to help them update their applications. But it also showed consumers new products or new technologies, and even new hardware. For example, at Google I/O 2019, announced updates to Google News, Search, Lens, Duplex, Assistant, and Android Q, and launched the Nest Hub Max and Pixel 3a series.
