for VR. It's a backbone of
software inside Android N that
provides users with an entire
ecosystem to play around in.
The only Limitation: It will only work on
new phones that have special sensors
and screens.

5. Android Wear 2.0
Expected to Ride
Smooth
● With Android Wear 2.0 version,
Google strives to give its
wearable platform a big shot. It
will now be able to work
independently of a Smartphone.
Even if the phone is switched
off or left behind, apps will
continue to function.
● Google has also added two
input methods – a handwriting
recognition mode and a little
swipe-style keyboard.

6. Two new messaging apps: Allo and Duo
Allo, a new Al-powered foray into messaging
with Allo:
● Messaging features
● Emoji and some custom stickers
● The ability to draw on photos
● The ability to control the font size of your
messages.
● The most important one - The Google
Assistant
Duo, a video chatting app:
● Completely dedicated to a video-only
experience.
● Dead simple to use.
● A feature called "Knock Knock" allows the
person you’re calling to see a video
preview of you before they even answer.
Duo is mobile-only, though, and it’s tied to your
phone number and Duo and Allo will be available
on both Android and iOS this summer.

7. A smart Speaker:
Google Home
● A small speaker with always-
listening microphones that
integrates into a broad range of
services. It will answer question
and execute commands.
● The device itself is a small
cylinder with a rounded top and
a speaker at the base, available
in a number of different shells
to match your decor.
Limitation: Home can’t communicate
with as many outside services as Echo

8. Google’s assistant
is getting more
smarter
● With Google search engine you
will more feel like a chat app.
● You can search things, buy
tickets all without leaving the
app and more or less in the way
you’d speak to a human.

9. Android in Car
● This App will let drivers see
speed trap warnings and
accident alerts in real time.
● Connecte to cars over wifi
● New back-end features
● The latest version of this app
will even work if your car
doesn't support the system.

10. Android Instant
apps
● We can run our Android Apps
without downloading them,
which is called “Android Instant
apps”.
● This feature allows users to
quickly “stream” parts of an app
instead of having to download
the app from the Google Play
store, then back out to our
home screen to open the app,
then sign up, etc.

11. TPU (Tensor
Processing unit)
● TPU (Tensor Processing unit)
that power going into Google
cloud platform.
● TPU to handle a high-density
barrage of commands and
computations that today’s CPUs
and GPUs, requiring data to line
up neatly, could only dream of.

12. Google Play
Awards
● At I/O 2016, Google is honoring
the best Android developers
with the first edition of the
Google Play Awards.
● Clash Royale, the new game
from Supercell, the developer of
Clash of Clans, took home the
Best Game award, after a tight
race against Alphabear, Clash
of Kings, MARVEL Future Fight,
and Star Wars: Galaxy of
Heroes.
● Houzz ended up winning the
“Best App” title, beating out
BuzzFeed News, Colorfy, TuneIn
Radio and Yummly.

13. Playstore for
chromebooks
● Google Play will start rolling out
in the developer channel with
M53 on the ASUS Chromebook
Flip, the Acer Chromebook R 11
and the latest Chromebook
Pixel.
● Over time, this will roll out to
other Chromebooks in the
market too. And, Google has
also been working with their
partners to launch some great
new devices specially designed
for Play.
● The entire Play Store is just a
click away.
