Google might announce Android O at Google I/O perhaps with these features


Google I/O, which is Google’s yearly developer conference, we get to find out just what Google has been working on and what their plans are for the near and distant future. This year's Google I/O will take place in May, but according to latest rumor, we already have details what we might see at this year's Google I/O.

According to latest report by VentureBeat, Google is expected to reveal the next version of Android OS, "Android O" followed by Multiple Developer Previews and a Fall launch. This latest Android OS will reportedly come with new "smart features."


The first feature will be called "Copy Less". This feature will predict the address you are trying to send to someone. For example, If you and a friend are having a conversation about where to eat dinner and you find a cool restaurant in the Yelp app, when you go back to your conversation GBoard would automatically show you a text suggestion after you type "it's at".

The next feature detailed includes "Finger gesture to trigger actions." For example, if you want to open Camera, just draw letter like a C on the screen. 


This year's Google I/O will take place from May 17 to May 19 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.

Which of these features are you excited about most? Are there any other features that interest you? Tell us in the comments section below.
