This Monday, Google will announce a major upgrade (and possible immediate availability) to its Android operating system, named “Android O”.

Google has introduced a countdown site for an event in New York City, themed around the solar eclipse taking place the same day. A livestream of the Android O debut is scheduled for 2:40 p.m. Eastern time, 11:40 a.m. Pacific.

Even if the software doesn’t become available on Monday, Google is likely to launch it shortly thereafter, since the company has promised a “summer” deadline and there have already been several beta revisions.

The finished update will bring a variety of changes to Android, such as improved battery and bootup performance, a streamlined Settings menu, and iPhone-style app badges called “notification dots.” For video the OS will finally get native picture-in-picture support, instead of requiring third-party extensions.
