6 Google Pixel Event Announcements for Mobile App Development

Every time, there is a Google event, there is something for the mobile app development industry always.

In New York, Google recently had a press event organized on 9th October 2018 to launch their year’s biggest and newest devices.

What were those biggest announcements on Google Pixel 3 Event?

Google plans every event very cautiously and carefully and all events have something or the other that unofficially impacts the mobile app development industry.

Though the entire Google Pixel 3 Event was all about the launch of various devices, the businesses, the individual developers, and the mobile app development companies need to be prepared for various things.

Hope you’ve remembered the events- Google I/O 2018 and Mobile World Congress 2018. Yes, and we even covered the mobile app development trends from Google I/O 2018 and the same was the case with Mobile World Congress 2018.

So, let’s take a look at what’s in store for the mobile app development industry from the Google Pixel 3 Event.

Announcements Relating to Businesses

1. IoT Mobile Apps

Google launched Google Home Hub during the Google Pixel 3 Event.

As per the announcement of Google Home Hub, Google introduced the Home View. With just a swipe, you can see a simple dashboard that showcases the status of your entire home. Using the dashboard, you can control all of your smart home devices.

The Home View allows you to control more than 200m smart home devices from across the thousands of brands.

With the launch of Google Home Hub and looking at its Home View feature, there will be more and more people who would buy the same.
Did you remember that we had discussed how IoT and smart home automation will change the way we live?

There we explicitly showcased how people will consume IoT devices and their apps to control their entire home, making it a smart and secured home.

For your information, it is one of the most emerging technologies. Hence, it becomes imperative for you to target that audience to outplay your competition and become successful.

So, your next big thing or inspiration from this Google Pixel 3 Event is to get your IoT mobile devices and apps developed.

2. Chrome Apps and PWAs

With the announcement of Pixel Slate, this tablet comes with Chrome OS.
Why did Google want to have Chrome OS in Pixel Slate? Obviously, because Google has more plans with Chrome OS.
Chrome OS supports web applications. When it comes to web applications, the only thing that is considered the best in recent times is Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

Recently, we discussed how Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) have helped popular businesses such as Twitter, Trivago, Starbucks, etc. with an increased user engagement.

So, maybe your next mobile app should be a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Talk to your mobile app development company now and understand how you can use the power of PWAs and Chrome OS for your mobile apps.

All these before you see your competitors utilizing it and Google has something new to offer.

Announcements Triggering Actions for Mobile App Developers

There were only a few announcements from Google on their Pixel 3 Event. But, all of those were giving hints to the businesses as well as the mobile app development companies to shift their focus towards the more important things.

So, here comes what mobile app developers need to focus on-

1.Android Things

During the mid-year, we discussed the announcements from Google I/O 2018. In that event, Google announced the new operating system, “Android Things”.
Android Things is the OS for the developers to develop intelligent IoT devices.

Now, during Google Pixel 3 Event, we saw Google Home Hub having the Home View controlling all the smart home devices.

This triggers an alarm for the developers and the development companies to start working on Android Things if you still haven’t.

2.Google Duplex

Now, there was another announcement during Google I/O 2018, Google Duplex. It is Google’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality that makes calls to the businesses with the help of Google Assistant.

Again, Google Duplex was heard and seen during the Google Pixel 3 Event. Google Duplex’s AI voice calling system would first roll out on the Pixel devices. Google Duplex will allow Assistant to make calls to the businesses and book reservations and appointments.

And, that’s what the mobile app development companies and the developers need to crack. AI is coming faster than the expectation. So, this is the time, you buckle up.

3. Android P

Android P was also announced in the Google I/O 2018 and they explicitly shared that you can experience Android P in the Pixel devices.

Pixel devices use Android P which is said to be using Machine Learning (ML) for most of its features. The mobile apps developed using Android P are reliable, efficient, user-friendly, and highly secured.

And, looking at the number of data breaches happening these days, businesses look forward to the more secure mobile apps.

And, Google is increasing its speed even in bringing ML features. So, to remain competitive in the technology industry, you need to make sure you try, develop, test, and deploy any of the mobile apps that support Android P.

4.Dart

Well, we discussed Dart programming language while talking about Flutter. Dart is a programming language by Google to develop not just normal mobile apps, but even apps for IoT devices.

The industry is growing faster than ever and there are more businesses investing in smart home devices. So, there is going to be an increased requirement for developing mobile apps that support those IoT devices.

So, the mobile app developers and the development companies need to encourage learning Dart programming language and also experimenting on the same.

That is the reason why we have added all of these as a skill and expertise among the 40+ tips to become a successful Android developer.

We knew that when Google announce something, there is more of it that we don’t know. So, it is better to be prepared enough for unknown yet known things.

Wrap Up

In the year 2018, Google announced various operating systems, platforms, technologies, and much more. And, all those announcements impact the mobile app development industry to a great extent.
