Thanks, Rick.
From new form factors, customizability,
to biometrics and computational photography,
Android has always been at the forefront of mobile industry
breakthroughs.
And recently, we've been working on a ton of features
and improvements for large-screen devices
like tablets and foldables.
So who thinks we should try a bunch of live demos
on the new Pixel Fold?
[CHEERING]
All right, let's do it.
It starts the second I unfold the device
with this stunning wallpaper animation.
And the hinge sensor is actually driving the animation.
And it's a subtle thing, but it makes the device
feel so dynamic and alive.
Yeah, I just love that.
All right, so let's go back to the folded state.
And I'm looking at Google Photos of a recent snowboarding trip.
Now, the scenery is really beautiful.
So I want to show you on the big screen.
I just open my phone, and the video instantly
expands into this gorgeous full screen view.
We call this feature continuity.
And we've obsessed over every millisecond
it takes for apps to seamlessly adapt from the small screen
to the larger screen.
Now, all work and no play makes Davy a dull boy.
So I'm going to message my buddy about getting
back out on the mountain.
I can just swipe to bring up the new Android taskbar, then
drag Google messages to the side to enter split screen
mode like so.
And to inspire my buddy, I'm going to send them a photo.
So I can just drag and drop some Google Photos
right into my message like so.
And thanks to the new Jetpack drag and drop library,
this is now supported in a wide variety of apps,
from Workspace to WhatsApp.
You'll notice we've made a bunch of improvements
throughout the OS to take advantage of the larger screen.
So, for example, here's the new split keyboard
for faster typing.
And if I pull down from the top, you'll
notice the new two-panel shade showing both my notifications
and my quick settings at the same time.
Now, Pixel Fold is great for productivity on the go.
And if I swipe up into Overview, you'll
notice that we now keep the multitasking windows paired.
And, for example, I was working on a Google Docs
and Slides earlier to prep for this keynote.
And I think I'm following most of these tips so far.
But I'm not quite done yet.
I've been warned, by the way.
Anyway, I can even adjust the split
to suit the content that I'm viewing.
And working this way, it's like having a dual monitor set up
in the palm of my hand, allowing me to do two things at once,
which reminds me, I should probably
send Rick a quick note.
So I'll open Gmail.
And I don't have a lot of time, so I'm
going to use the new Help Me Write feature.
So let's try this out.
Don't cheer yet.
Let's see if it works.
OK, Rick--
[LAUGHTER]
Rick, congrats.
What are we going to call this?
Pixel Fold's launch.
Amazing, with Android.
And then I probably shouldn't say Dave--
not Andrew, Android.
Dave.
It's hard to type with all you people looking at me.
All right, now, by the power of large language models,
allow me to elaborate.
Dear Rick, congratulations on the successful launch
of Pixel Fold.
I'm really impressed with the device
and how well it integrates Android.
The foldable screen is a game changer.
And I can't wait to see what you do with it next.
[CHEERING]
All right, that's productivity.
But there's more.
The Pixel Fold is also an awesome entertainment device.
And YouTube is just a really great showcase for this.
So let's start watching this video on the big screen.
Now, look what happens when I fold
the device at right angles.
YouTube enters what we call Tabletop Mode
so that the video plays on the top half,
and then we're working on adding playback controls
to the bottom half for an awesome single-handed
lean back experience.
And the video just keeps playing fluidly
through these transitions without losing a beat.
OK, one last thing.
We're adding support for switching displays
from within an app.
And Pixel Fold's camera is a really great example of that.
Now, by the way, say hi to Julie behind me.
She's the real star of the show.
[CHEERING]
So Pixel Fold has this new button on the bottom right.
So I'm going to tap this.
And it means I can move the viewfinder
to the outside screen.
So let me turn the device around.
OK, so why is this interesting?
Well, it means that the viewfinder is now
beside the rear camera system.
And that means I can get a high quality,
ultra-wide, amazing selfie with the best camera on the device.
Speaking of which, and you knew where this was going,
smile everybody.
You look awesome.
[CHEERING]
I always wanted to do that at Google I/O keynote.
All right.
[LAUGHS] All right, so what you're seeing here
is the culmination of several years of work,
in fact, on large screens, spanning
the Android OS and the most popular apps on the Play Store.
