What to expect from Google I/O 2022: Pixel 6a to a potential new Nest Hub 

• Pixel 6a and Pixel Watch are the most expected product launches at Google I/O 2022.

• Android 13 stable version may be showcased at the Google I/O.

• Google could also launch the new Nest Hub at I/O 2022.

  I/O, the company’s annual developer conference, is set to begin this week with an opening presentation on Wednesday, May 11. With hardware and software announcements for products set to be released in the next year or so, the keynote is relevant to a much broader audience than just helping developers.

  For the past three years, Google has followed up each of its flagship Pixel smartphones with a less expensive model with fewer features. It's the Pixel 6's turn this year, but rumours suggest the Pixel 6A will be different from previous A-series handsets. Last year, 9to5Google reported that the new phone would have the same Tensor processor as the Pixel 6, but a 12-megapixel main camera sensor instead of the Pixel 6's 50-megapixel sensor.

  A Google smartwatch has long been rumoured, but 2022 could be the year it happens. There have been spec and design leaks, and a filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office revealing the Pixel Watch name. Most notably, an apparent prototype of the smartwatch was found abandoned in a restaurant, resulting in a flood of photos being posted online.
