Google I/O 2025 didn’t just drop AI and XR upgrades—it went full sci-fi. Smart glasses running Android XR flashed real-time info straight to your eyeballs, while over 1.5 billion monthly users poked at AI Overviews that basically answer questions before you even ask. Google added a $250-a-month subscription for Gemini-powered super tools (because who doesn’t want premium AI hype?). Even the look got an upgrade: Material 3 Expressive, straight out of a Marvel prop drawer. But that’s just the teaser…
XR wasn’t left in the digital dust, either. Android XR took the spotlight, with murmurs (and maybe demos) of smart glasses running the new platform.
If you’ve ever wanted to look like you just stepped out of a sci-fi reboot, Google’s got you covered. Over 1.5 billion users view AI Overviews every month, showing just how quickly these new tools are becoming part of everyone’s daily digital routine. The system’s conversational capabilities allow for dynamic follow-up questions to refine your search results.
Material 3 Expressive, meanwhile, gave Android a much-needed facelift before the event even started. With new in-lens display technology, smart glasses now offer real-time suggestions and hands-free navigation.
Material 3 Expressive gave Android a fresh new look, setting the stage for updates before the event even began.
If you want the *fancy* AI stuff—like the latest Gemini and creative tools—get ready to drop $250 a month for Google’s new subscription.
Yes, innovation is expensive, but at least you’ll be the first to know when your AI starts writing your breakup emails.
