Google and Samsung showed us the new WearOS at the last Google I/O keynote and this year we expect the partnership to have solidified to form a cohesive wearable platform. The WearOS 3.2 version is expected to see a big jump in performance, and Google could use the software for its own smartwatch as well.
CHROME OS GETS FURTHER BOOST
But Google I/O 2022 is not just going to be about phones and Android. Google also has a major focus on Chrome OS which is used on Chromebooks and other devices by the developers. Chrome OS got support for Android apps, and we believe the integration is likely to get stronger from here on. Many also expect Chrome OS to be offered on high-end machines.

And going by the rumours, it could be the Pixel 6a smartphone and the first-ever Pixel Watch smartwatch, which has been seen in the wild over the past few days.
