For the event, which will take place both offline and online through live streams, Google has opened registration. Announcements of hardware and software, technical sessions and demonstrations geared toward developers, workshops, and networking opportunities are usually included in the event. During the event, announcements about Android 16 and Gemini are anticipated.

Google I/O 2025: What to expect
The tech behemoth from Mountain View confirmed in a blog post that Google I/O 2025 will take place over two days, on Tuesday, May 20, and Wednesday, May 21. Additionally, the company has created a microsite for the event that includes information about the conference, a countdown clock, and a direct registration link.

Pichai's keynote address might heavily highlight new features in Android 16. With a new Gemini 2.0 AI model anticipated to be released, Google may also concentrate on its native AI chatbot, Gemini. The business unveiled the Gemini 1.5 Pro model with a two million token context window last year.

Vivo is all set to expand its V series smartphone lineup with the upcoming Vivo V50. The smartphone is just a few days away from its official launch and a new handset which is claimed to be Vivo V50e has appeared on several certification sites hinting an imminent launch. The handset has recently been spotted on Geekbench AI database (spotted by Xpertpick) giving a sneak peek into the key specifications including processor and other details. Read out all details about the upcoming Vivo V50e here.

Vivo V50e to Launch Soon

The Vivo V50e has already received certification from the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), as noted by MySmartPrice. This suggests that it will soon be released in India and internationally. The certification listings indicate we won't have to wait long, even though there isn't a confirmed launch date yet.

Vivo V50e Specifications Leaked

The same chipset that powered the Vivo V40e, the Vivo V50e will be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 SoC. The processor, which has four Cortex-A78 cores and four Cortex-A55 cores with clock speeds of 2.5GHz and 2.0GHz, respectively, is built on a 4nm process. This chipset is a dependable mid-range performer when combined with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU.

The V50e differs from the V40e due to its software upgrade; it will come pre-installed with Android 15, which is an improvement over the previous version. But so far, the internals seem to be mostly unaltered except for the updated software.

Geekbench AI benchmark results offer an initial glimpse of the V50e's processing power. According to reports, the handset has scored 529 in Single-Precision, 1,316 in half precision, and 2,632 in Quantized Score. Although these figures are consistent with what is anticipated from the Dimensity 7300, they do indicate strong AI performance. Additionally, according to the listing, the V50e will have 8GB of RAM, keeping its memory capacity the same as its predecessor.
