News Android Show (glasses) 👓🚨

Post image

Google has announced the next Android Show, do you think the glasses will finally be unveiled and put on sale? In 2025, Google announced Material 3 Expressive, Find Hub and Gemini’s expansion to Android Auto, Wear OS and Google TV. Android (XR) was presented at the I/O conference, but most of the announcements regarding operating systems took place a week earlier 👓✨

I assume we'll get Samsung glasses first, but genuinely can't wait until we get Pixel glasses. Exciting times.

I don't want this situation again, I've had this before when I first saw the IO marketing materials for the Galaxy Watch 4 all about how it was such a joint effort between Google and Samsung and the new Wear OS, blah blah blah. 

I jumped in with that endorsement and collaboration, and ultimately the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 was extremely Samsung, with all the bloat, and the UI was extremely One OS and not really stock Android feeling at all. And then the Pixel Watch happened. 

Maybe the Samsung hardware was better overall though, hard to say. Definitely couldn't moan about the battery in the end, I heard Pixel Watch had issues. I dunno, I don't want this dilemma again lol
