Nice example of the desktop experience on Googlebook.

The latest Android Drop is here, packed with updates that make your life a little easier. Two of my favorite features are: 🫧 Motion Assist: If you get motion sick while looking at your phone in a moving car, this one is a game-changer. It places a subtle bubble overlay on your screen that moves in sync with the vehicle's motion, bridging the visual-vestibular gap. You can set it to activate automatically, add it to Quick Settings, and even customize the bubble's color, shape, and opacity to fit your look. 👁️ Guided vision in Gemini Live: Point your camera to have Gemini describe what is in front of you in real time. Whether you are reading fine print on food labels, navigating a menu in a dim restaurant, or finding everyday objects around the house, it guides you with voice prompts if you need to reframe or center what you're looking at. Technology is at its best when it solves real everyday challenges and naturally fits into your routine. A huge thank you to the teams for building helpful experiences that meet people where they are!

The goal of @Android has always been to bring the best of computing to everyone. For years, speech-to-text has made mobile communication effortless. And although many in the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community prefer using sign language, typing in English on a keyboard has remained the default requirement on smartphones. With the launch of the new Pixel 11 series, we introduced sign-to-text translation, powered by @GoogleDeepMind’s multilingual sign language-to-text (SL2T) translation model. Built in deep partnership with the Deaf community and our AI Sign Language Advisory Committee (AISLAC) from day one, sign-to-text translates American Sign Language into written English in real time across Gboard and Live Transcribe. Whether you're drafting a message, prompting Gemini, or ordering coffee, you can communicate naturally in your own language. Using your device’s front camera, the sign-to-text feature tracks upper-body, hand, and facial movements in real time. Then it sends a 2D map of your movements to the server, not your video, to be translated into English. It’s been awesome seeing the early love and reactions over the past couple of days, from folks testing it out at the Google Store to seeing the excitement from Deaf users and community members imagining what this future looks like. It’s still early days, and we’re committed to continuously improving the experience as we bring sign-to-text to more Android devices and support more global sign languages over time. Incredible work by the teams across Android and DeepMind, and a huge thank you to our community partners for guiding this important milestone!

The GPS innovation on Pixel Watch 5 is genuinely next level. Huge congrats to the team for thinking outside the box to make it happen!

Throughout my career, I’ve attended a lot of launch events … I mean … a lot. So many of them were awesome events, but the format has become familiar — it works well for a tech focused audience. What Pixel did last year and again this year was to rethink this event and try to broaden the reach of their message. I know some folks had thoughts on it, but it's really cool that the team took the risk to try something different to reach new audiences. And clearly, this approach paid off – Made by Google 2025 attracted 5x more views than the year before. And the viewership for this year's event is looking even better! Huge congrats to the Pixel team for putting on another great event tonight. They continued to take smart risks to deliver a memorable show, and people are talking about it.

Starting soon! #madebygoogle

It’s almost time for #MadebyGoogle to celebrate the new Pixel portfolio! On my way to the show, I did a quick breakdown of what I’m looking forward to tonight (especially seeing the amazing @Trevornoah!)

Huge congratulations to the Pixel team on today's #MadebyGoogle announcements! Pixel 11 is another major milestone for Gemini Intelligence, which is a set of capabilities that represent the best of Gemini on the most advanced devices. I’m particularly excited about the launch of our Gemini-fied keyboard microphone: Rambler. This kind of reinvents the keyboard by allowing you to just speak your mind with a brain dump of thoughts and the system figures out what you meant and comes up with a polished message. That’s totally different from today’s voice dictation microphone, which faithfully transcribes every word including “uhms”, and “ahs”. I’ve been using it for a couple of months, and it’s changed the way I use my phone. In fact, this post was dictated with Rambler! This new capability is launching in over 100 languages on Gemini Intelligence devices when you are using Gboard. Can’t wait to hear what you all think!

Congratulations to the Gemini team on this huge milestone! Awesome to see @GeminiApp join the 1B club at Google. It’s been a great collaboration to bring the best of Gemini to Android users.

Really excited to see Notability launch this week with optimization for large screen devices. Just in time for all the foldables launching this summer!

Congrats to the @SamsungMobile team on another great #GalaxyUnpacked! Today, we introduced the first capabilities of Gemini Intelligence coming to Samsung’s new foldable devices, along with other updates: ✨ Task automation: Delegate daily "life admin" (reservations, shopping, travel) across 40+ popular apps. 📚 Gemini Notebook: Pre-installed on every new foldable device, you can drag-and-drop sources side-by-side to generate slide decks, podcasts, and custom study guides. Plus, get a 6-month trial of Google AI Pro! ⌚️👓 Gemini on the go: Access Gemini on the Galaxy Watch9 by simply raising your wrist. We also shared two more frame designs of the upcoming intelligent eyewear collections with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. 📲 Easier switching: Our native migration tool now lets you switch from iPhone wirelessly, now transferring passwords, Wi-Fi credentials, and eSIMs. Excited to keep building the future of mobile with @SamsungMobile. And thank you to the @Android and @GeminiApp teams for all the hard work! Check out the blog post to learn more about today’s updates: blog.google/products-and-pla…

The EC is on the wrong track with DMA 6.7 and is steering toward a much worse experience for Android users. Android is far more open than any other mobile OS. Device makers can decide which assistant(s) to preload. Users can switch to any assistant that they select. This is how a mobile OS should work. But instead of supporting this model, the EC repeatedly adds complex rules that make building good /safe consumer experiences on Android much more complicated. Regulating technology is challenging, but focusing these rules only on Android, the most open platform, simply doesn't make sense. blog.google/company-news/ins…
