Google I/O 2022 set for largely virtual event on May 11 and 12
In This Article
Google has announced that its next big Google I/O event will take place on May 11 and 12. Once again, it’ll be a predominantly online affair.
CEO Sundar Pichai took to Twitter to announce the news, along with providing a link to theGoogle I/O 2022 hubpage. The latter is dominated by a distinctly Googley countdown timer, and is backed by a looping (and partially interactive) minimalist electronica soundtrack.
That soundtrack formed part of an elaborate four-part puzzle that Google set ahead of revealing the Google I/O dates.

It’s worth mentioning a couple of stand-out pieces of hardware that we’re still waiting for from Google. ThePixel 6abudget smartphone and thePixel Watchare both hotly anticipated. Might it choose to pull the trigger on both at Google I/O 2022?
We recently heard a rumour that theGoogle Pixel 7could be destined to launch as much as a month early, but that should still be way too early for a Google I/O 2022 launch. Still, plenty to look forward to in May.
