With the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro having established themselves as some of the best Android phones you can buy today, it's time to look forward to what's on the horizon. You could pick up last year's Google flagships, but imagining what's around the corner is more fun. This year, that's extra exciting, as we're looking at three different phones coming to a carrier near you as soon as this summer. And yes, you read that right: summer. The new Pixels are coming earlier than usual this year, and Google's already releasing promo videos. Here's everything we know about the Pixel 9 series.

Like plenty of Android users, I've never been able to help myself when it comes to tuning in for Apple events. It's not just because of my job, either Apple's presentations, historically speaking, exist in their own little bubble, outside the trends other tech companies are chasing. While I'd argue this year's developer conference doesn't quite fall into that space thanks to an exhausting demo of AI-based features, the first hour was filled with some big improvements for devices like the iPhone. And more than ever, those changes are directly inspired by Android.

Although it might feel like last year's Pixel 8 launch was just a few weeks ago, believe it or not, we've already made it to the next high-profile Google event. Google I/O kicks off from the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View on Tuesday, May 14, and unlike last year, we're expecting to hear about nothing more than AI for nearly two hours straight. That might sound a little exhausting, but if you're at all interested in seeing the future of Google and the future of Android this year's keynote is the one to watch.
