Google might finally unveil the Pixel Watch
In December last year, reports were beefing up about Google working on a Pixel series smartwatch codenamed “Rohan.” We have come across a lot of leaks with real-world images revealing everything one can see in terms of hardware of the rumoured Pixel Watch after Google developers seemingly forgot a development unit in a US restaurant. Now it all seems to be true as this smartwatch has also already been spotted in a US carrier’s inventory list. The Pixel Watch is supposed to come in gray, black, and gold finish. Google I/O 2022 might be the best stage for the company to finally unveil its first-party smartwatch to the world. It is also possible that Google might only tease the watch during the event and plan a full-fledged event for later. Time will tell, but we are certainly getting a Pixel Watch soon.

Pixel 6a might debut in Google I/O 2022
For the past few years, Google has been launching A-series smartphones with reduced specs and affordable prices tag. It’s now time to unfold the Pixel 6a that we have seen in many renders. Earlier the existence of Pixel 6a was confirmed as it was seen in Google colouring books. Talking about rumored specs, the new phone could feature the same Google’s own Tensor SoC as the Pixel 6 but a downgraded 12-megapixel main camera sensor instead of the Pixel 6’s 50-megapixel sensor. It’s possible that we might get a glimpse of Google Pixel 6a at I/O 2022. Stay tuned for details.

- Reports suggest Android 12L is in development (a new version of the OS optimized for tablets and foldable devices). Who knows! Google might drop one or two foldable phones or tablets out of nowhere.
