Theres good,albeit boring, news for the future of Android phones today.
Google is officiallyrolling out Android 16 Beta 3for those running it on a compatible unit.
Its nothing particularly flashy and marketing-worthy likeMaterial Youwas when it launched with Android 12 in 2021.
Thats not to say there isnt somethingworthy about the update coming soon to an Android phone near you.
One feature Im particularly excited about with Android 16 is broadcast audio support through Auracast.
I experienced ademonstration of the technologya few years back at CES.
Android 16 Beta 3 enables Auracast for Pixel 9 devices.
(Auracast is also available on Samsungs Galaxy devices with One UI 7 and Android 15.)
Google I/O will likely be focused entirely on Geminis abilities on the phone and other hardware rather than Android.
You canvisit the developers siteto learn more about that.
Its super easy, and all it requires is registering a Pixel equipment and waiting for the over-the-air update.
