On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/dXCCleAddEA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Android Show<\/a>, Google\u2019s president of the Android ecosystem, Sameer Samat, said that Android is transforming from an operating system to an \u201cintelligence system,\u201d powered by Gemini. \u201cThis means deeply understanding your context, anticipating your needs, and getting things done on your behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To convey that intelligence, Android 17 is getting a minor facelift to \u201canimate with purpose\u201d when Gemini Intelligence is listening, thinking, and creating. The OS\u2014sorry,\u00a0intelligence system\u2014will also have more agentic functionality, aka the ability to do tasks for you, like allegedly purchase concert tickets. It all looks and sounds convenient in demos, but whether users will embrace it or not is the big question.<\/p>\n<p>The new Android Auto experience will also adapt to more screen sizes and shapes\u2014like round and hexagonal displays. Navigation gets a revamp with 3D Google Maps that show buildings, overpasses, and terrain around your car. Lanes and stop signs are highlighted as well. Android Auto also has other new stuff like widgets (weather, contacts, and smart home controls) and the ability to watch YouTube videos in supported cars.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and Google redesigned Android\u2019s emoji so that they have more detail.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no Liquid Glass overhaul, but I\u2019m genuinely excited to check out the new version of Android for Google\u2019s various platforms. \u2014Raymond Wong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In case it wasn\u2019t clear: Google is shoving AI into everything.
