Google is currently testing the automatic theft detection feature announced at the May I/O Developer Conference for Android 15. The feature is being tested for the first time in Brazil, where smartphone theft is a serious issue, and user feedback has been enthusiastic.

Google will hold the 2024 I/O Developer Conference online on May 14, with the keynote speech streamed over the internet to attract a broader developer audience. Google will showcase new features of the Gemini model and Android 15, including upgrades to Gmail and Google Photos, as well as a potential mid-range phone launch. The Gemini model will be embedded in devices to compete with OpenAI's Sora, demonstrating powerful multimodal mixture of experts model capabilities. Google releases Gemini 1.5.

The release of Android 15 has sparked discussions due to the absence of new AI features, leaving Google in a dilemma as its future development comes under scrutiny.

Google has released the first developer preview of Android 15, but did not mention artificial intelligence. It is expected to reach a stable state by June and be officially released after July. New features include privacy enhancements, health extensions, and partial screen sharing. Battery performance and camera capabilities are improved, providing enhanced low-light functionality.
