If you’re wondering how you can watch the Google I/O keynote live tomorrow, take a look at the dates and details below. You can also scroll further down to see what you can likely expect from Google’s presentation in 2023.

How to Watch Google I/O 2023 Livestream Online

If you’re hoping to watch the Google I/O keynote live this year, the options are fairly simple. You can stream the presentation live from the Google website or from the company’s YouTube channel.

If you miss the main keynote or any of the other presentations live, you can access all of the i/O content on demand from the Google I/O portal after they air.

What to Expect From Google I/O in 2023

Although there are sure to be some surprises this year, the biggest announcements you can expect we mostly already know about. These are the tech products that have either already been announced by Google or leaked by various sources. Mainly, we are expecting details on the Google Pixel Fold and the Google Pixel Tablet.

Google Pixel Fold

One thing we know for sure we’ll be seeing at Google I/O this year is the long-rumored Pixel Fold. Google recently made an announcement on May 4 that gave us a glimpse at their first foldable phone.

Google didn’t reveal a release date, specs, or a price for the phone, so we will likely be getting more information during the keynote. We can guess that it will likely not be a very budget-friendly phone if it is priced similarly to other foldables on the market.

Pixel Tablet

The Pixel Tablet was announced at Google I/0 2022 and we pretty much hadn’t heard anything about it since. That is until a potential leak was discovered on Amazon Japan that revealed the Pixel Tablet price and release date.

According the leak the tablet will feature a 10.95 inch LCD display with 2560×1600 resolution, which will be powered by Google’s Tensor G2, with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage depending on the model.

It’s worth noting that this information could be innaccurate, but because it was spotted on Amazon it seems highly likely that details will be revealed during the keynote.

Pixel 7a and a Pixel 8 Series Perview

During last year’s I/O Google announced the budget phone in its Pixel 6 series, the Pixel 6a. So if this year is anything like last year, it’s highly likely we’ll be getting a similar announcement for the Pixel 7a.

Additionally, we will likely see some sort of preview for the upcoming Pixel 8 series like we did last year.

What Else Should We Expect?

Outside of the main tech products, there are a few other potential things that could be mentioned. First and foremost, we will probably be hearing additional details about Android 14 and it’s features. You can already download the beta and try it out for yourself on a Pixel device. Additionally on the software side of things, we will likely hear more about Bard, Google’s ChatGPT rival.

It’s possible there could be more surprises in store for us at this year’s I/O as well. The tech company has a tendency to include small announcements in between the larger ones during the presentation.
