Google IO, the company’s annual showcase of software and hardware (and, these days, AI-related anything) took place on Wednesday (May 10).

There was a lot of talk about artificial intelligence in the keynote, and how Google is incorporating machine learning into its toolkits, software, and services, including improvements to how the systems will complete your sentences and emails.

In terms of hardware, Google revealed three new devices:

• Pixel 7a smartphone (CAD$599), which includes premium handset features like facial recognition and wireless charging but for less cost
  

• Pixel Fold smartphone (USD$1,799), a folding handset that is not being released in Canada (yet)
  

• Pixel Tablet (CAD$699 with a charging speaker dock), an 11-inch tablet Google says is “designed for entertainment and gaming”. The dock turns the Pixel Tablet into a Nest Hub of sorts.
  

The Pixel 7a is available now and the Pixel Tablet can be pre-ordered.
