A new personal assistant device.

The Amazon Echo has some fierce competition with the arrival of Google Home. The small device has Google Assistant, a more intuitive software that wants to act as a conversation partner and help you do things easier and faster. You can ask Google Home about the weather and more complicated tasks like booking a flight. It's out later this year.

02

Exciting new features on Android N.

Android N is getting a slew of new features — many of which are user requested. The new features of Android N include new emoji, only running frequently used apps, and the ability to multitask, and quickly reply to messages. You can even help Google name it! It's out later this Summer.

03

A fun, new app that wants to change the way we message.

Meet the messaging app that Google thinks will change your life — Allo. The app will include security features that others don't have, uses Google Assistant, and more — all to convey the right message to your friends and family. This app is also out later this Summer.

04

Video chat with your friends in a new app.

Video messaging is going to get a tiny bit more streamlined with Duo, Google's video calling app. The app will work across both iOS and Android and function well on any type of connection. One key feature is the ability to see a live video stream of the person you're trying to call — before the call begins. It arrives to iOS and Android later this Summer.

05
A new virtual reality platform.

A new virtual reality platform.

Google is trying to get into the virtual reality (VR) game a little bit more with Daydream, its platform for mobile VR. The concept behind Daydream relies on both software and hardware — building a system where VR is easily accessible on phones and creating a tangible headset and controller to use with VR. Unlike Cardboard, Google's new vision for VR is meant only for devices ready to deliver a great experience.

06

Android Wear gets an upgrade.

Say hello to Android Wear 2.0, the newest software for Android Wear devices. The new features include being able to use apps on your device even if your phone is off or isn't near. You can also handwrite messages on your watch and it will recognize what you're trying to say and put it into text. Other improvements include a darker interface and the ability to put third-party apps onto your watch face. It's out for developers today and will arrive to the public later this year.

Say goodbye to downloading several apps.

Google wants to make your life easier with Android Instant Apps. Need to use a certain app but don't have it on your phone? No worries — it'll run on Android without any installation needed. Gone are the days of going to a wonky mobile web page; instead, you'll just get to use the app.
