How to watch the Google I/O 2025 keynote tomorrow
It's still May, which means it's still Google time. After showing off Android's new look at The Android Show last week, the company still has its developer conference to check off the list. Google I/O 2025 is scheduled to start tomorrow (May 20) at 1PM ET / 10AM PT, and Engadget will be covering it live, via a liveblog and on-the-ground reporting from our very own Karissa Bell.
Google included some Gemini news in The Android Show — the AI is coming to Wear OS, Android Auto and Google TV — but artificial intelligence should still be the focus of the company's upcoming keynote. too. Expect news about how Google is using AI in search to be featured prominently, along with some other surprises, like the possible debut of an AI-powered Pinterest alternative.
As usual, there will be a developer-centric keynote following the main presentation, and while we'll be paying attention to make sure we don't miss out any news there, our liveblog will predominantly focus on the headliner.

The company made it clear during its Android showcase that Android XR, its mixed reality platform, will also be featured during I/O. That could include the mixed reality headset Google and Samsung are collaborating on, or, as teased at the end of The Android Show, smart glasses with Google's Project Astra built-in.
To find out for yourself, you can watch Google's keynote in the embedded livestream above or on the company's YouTube channel. The event starts at 1PM ET tomorrow and the company plans to hold breakout sessions through May 21 on a variety of different topics relevant to developers.
Update, May 19 2025, 1:01PM ET: This story has been updated to include details on the developer keynote taking place later in the day, as well as tweak wording throughout for accuracy with the new timestamp.

Samsung and Apple are the wrong brands to make thin phones — here's why
It's been a week since the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launched. But even as the tech world moves on, and we witness the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, and the build-up to WWDC 2025, it's still occupying space in my mind, and the minds of my colleagues, for being a competent but confusing device. We like the Galaxy S25 Edge plenty, but all the same it feels like the iPhone 17 Air, expected later this year, could easily beat the S25 Edge as long as it does more than just be thin, or makes fewer sacrifices like pricing or camera performance in the name of slimming things down. But there's one thing both companies could have done to help, but that Samsung has not done, and that I expect Apple won't do either. And it's the crux of why I think Samsung and Apple should leave the slim phone idea to other companies. Batteries is the obvious area where thin phones run into limitations. Less internal space requires a sacrifice of battery size and capacity, and that's exactly what we saw in our own battery testing of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which found that the S25 Edge has a battery life between around three and four and a half hours shorter than other Galaxy S25 models. This wasn't inevitable though — Samsung just needed some new tech to help. Brands like OnePlus and Honor have been launching phones with silicon-carbon battery tech — a new combination of materials for batteries that packs more power into a smaller area. This is ideal for a slim phone like the Galaxy S25 Edge, which needs a big battery to fuel its big 6.7-inch screen, but can't take the battery from the identically-sized Galaxy S25 Plus due to its reduced depth. However, Samsung elected to stick with good old lithium batteries for the S25 Edge. Which meant it's ended up with a smaller capacity than the much smaller Galaxy S25, and resulted in the underwhelming battery life results I mention above. Optimistically, a smaller battery for the rumored iPhone 17 Air will perhaps be less of an issue than it is on the Galaxy S25 Edge. Apple's good at getting the most out of smaller batteries with its in-house hardware and software, as we can see on our best phone battery life guide with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple's current top iPhone lasts slightly longer on the TG custom battery test than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but while using a 6% smaller battery. But the iPhone 17 Air would still presumably get more battery life if Apple elected to use silicon-carbon batteries. I don't have high hopes of Apple fulfilling my wish though, given how the company is normally slower than other brands to integrate new tech into its products. Just look at the iPhone Fold, or rather the current lack of one, compared to the seventh-generation foldables Samsung is expected to launch later this year. It really shows how patient Apple can be about fitting new tech to its phones. So Apple's expected reluctance to address the slim phone battery life question, and Samsung's open focus on design over outright performance with the Galaxy S25 Edge, is why these are the wrong two companies to be pushing this phone format. I don't think the slim flagship phone's going to catch on until users can be certain they'll still get a day's use out of their new phone. Silicon-carbon battery tech is the obvious way to fix this, and therefore Honor, OnePlus and other companies already experimenting with the technology should use this knowledge to show us how slim phones should be done.

Amazon to invest $10B in North Carolina for AI data centers
Amazon is investing $10 billion to create data centers in North Carolina aimed at expanding its artificial intelligence and cloud computing technology capabilities. The move, announced Wednesday, is its latest attempt to compete with rivals Google and Microsoft in the artificial intelligence space. It will also significantly boost its presence in the state, creating at least 500 new high-skilled jobs that range from data center engineers and network specialists, to engineering operations managers and security specialists. "This investment supports the [Trump] Administration's vision to strengthen American infrastructure and further safeguard our nation's data," said Shannon Kellogg, Amazon's vice president of public policy. "By creating hundreds of high-skilled jobs and partnering with local communities, Amazon is helping to drive economic growth and advance U.S. leadership in AI." Amazon Introduces Beta Ai Shopping Tool, 'Interests' The investment will also support thousands of other jobs in the Amazon Web Services data center supply chain, the company said. "Generative AI is driving increased demand for advanced cloud infrastructure and compute power, and our investment will support the future of AI from AWS data centers in the Tar Heel State," Amazon said Wednesday in a blog post. "This deployment of cutting-edge cloud computing infrastructure will strengthen North Carolina's position as an innovation hub." Read On The Fox Business App Amazon has been racing to invest in its artificial intelligence infrastructure. In January, Amazon Web Services announced plans to invest an estimated $11 billion to expand its infrastructure in Georgia. Big tech companies have invested tens of billions of dollars in AI. Amazon Rolling Out Ai-drive Alexa+ Service In a 2024 annual letter to shareholders, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said "generative AI is going to reinvent virtually every customer experience we know, and enable altogether new ones about which we've only fantasized." Leveraging this technology is one way to stay competitive, according to Jassy. "If your customer experiences aren't planning to leverage these intelligent models, their ability to query giant corpuses of data and quickly find your needle in the haystack, their ability to keep getting smarter with more feedback and data, and their future agentic capabilities, you will not be competitive," he wrote.
