Google I/O 2023 is happening on May 10 with an in-person event

By Joe Maring Published March 7, 2023

It’s that time of year once again. The days are getting longer, the gray skies of winter are slowly fading away, and it’s almost time for another Google I/O. While it’s a given that we have a new I/O each year, Google always puts on a little show when announcing the date for the next one. And now, we officially know when Google I/O 2023 will take place.

The opening keynote for this year’s I/O is taking place at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. In its email confirming the time and date, Google says, “Join a select audience to learn about Google’s latest innovations and developer solutions that help you work smarter and improve productivity.” The opening keynote for I/O 2023 — where most of the big news and announcements are revealed — kicks off at 10 a.m. PT on May 10.

Google is inviting some developers and media/press outlets to attend the keynote in person, but like in past years, anyone will be able to watch the event online as a live stream for free. Furthermore, if you’re interested in attending any of the “100-plus on-demand technical sessions,” you can register for free on the Google I/O 2023 website to access those.

While Google I/O is a developer-focused event, it is typically home to big announcements that developers and non-developers alike care about. One of the main talking points this year should be Android 14. Google already released the first developer preview of Android 14, and we should get a much closer look at it during I/O. Also, expect to hear plenty about the company’s ChatGPT competitor, Google Bard.

Google I/O 2023 should see a few hardware announcements, too. The Pixel 7a is almost certainly going to make an appearance, as will the Pixel Tablet. There’s also a chance we’ll get to see the Pixel Fold, but you may not want to hold your breath too much for that one.

Motorola may have built the iPad alternative Android users have been waiting for

The Moto Pad 70 could be the affordable tablet that finally gets the basics right

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Motorola has revealed the Moto Pad 70, a new mid-range Android tablet with a large display, stylus support, 5G connectivity, and a sizeable battery.

The tablet will launch in India on August 8 through Flipkart. Its 12.1-inch 2.5K display, included Moto Pen, 10,200mAh battery, and 68W charging give it several features that could appeal to people considering Apple’s base iPad. However, the mid-range Dimensity 6400 processor means it is unlikely to match the iPad in raw performance.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.

The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits.

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop losing your notes and start the school year with one of these e-readers that double as notebooks

Three e-readers with pen support worth adding to your back to school shopping list.

Your backpack is heavier than it needs to be. Multiple notebooks for all your classes, a stack of printed PDFs, and nothing that talks to anything else. The notes from week two are in a different notebook than the notes from week six, and you'd be lucky to find either one in December.

One device that you can use to read books and PDFs, take notes, and keep everything organized would fix this, and that's exactly what e-readers with pen input support are built to do. And you don't need to spend what you'd drop on textbooks for a semester to get one either. I've rounded up six worth buying this back-to-school season, and I'll tell you exactly who each one is for.
