Google I/O 2020 completely canceled. It will not be kept in online format either.

Now that all the events of the next weeks or even months have been canceled, companies are trying to move them online.

We’ve already seen several smartphone launches broadcast live, without the public, and events like Apple’s WWDC will be exclusively streaming video.

Google, however, after announcing that it will no longer hold the I / O 2020 event in physical format and move it online, has decided not to hold its presentations at all this year.

Google I/O is the most important event of the year for Google. New versions of the Android operating system are announced here, with new features and new services, new capabilities for Google Assistant and more.

In fact, sometimes new products such as Pixelbook laptops, mid-range Pixel phones are launched here, and in the past we even received tablets at this event.

I / O is also a good opportunity for software and hardware developers to get in touch with Google representatives, learn new things at seminars and build partnerships with other participating companies.

The fact that Google I / O will no longer take place in 2020 does not mean that Google will not launch anything this year.

Apple has already launched two new products without any event, preferring to announce them by the classic and more economical method: a press release and listing on the site for pre-order.

This is likely to be the case with the Pixel 4a smartphone model, which was expected at I / O 2020, but also with Android 11 in the public beta.

Along with Google and Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and many other companies have resorted to canceling events or moving them online in the last few weeks.

It is likely that this strategy will continue at least until summer, if not throughout 2020, in an attempt to avoid the gathering of people to limit the transmission of COVID-19 virus.
