The Android P also features a new Dashboard which will show the time you spend with your device, including time spent in apps, how many notifications and how many times you’ve unlocked your phone. It also features an A.I. powered battery saver. Android P is coming later this summer but there are handful devices from Google, Essential, Sony, Nokia, and more which are eligible for the public beta.

GOOGLE DUPLEX
One of the most jaw-dropping moment of Google I/O when Google Assitant makes a call to hair saloon and makes the appointment in a conversation that legitimately sounded like two humans talking to each other.
