No ad to show here.
Thanks to a tweet by Xiaomi‘s Hugo Barra, we know that the Chinese company will also reveal something.

“Beyond thrilled to share that Xiaomi will be a part of Google I/O. A sneak peek of what you'll see from Mi at #io16,” the tweet reads.
The image attached to the tweet also suggests a possible Android TV box. More interestingly, it could also be an Android-powered gaming box, which will definitely be a new avenue for Xiaomi, who traditionally focuses on the smartphone and tablet market.
“Guess which super combo move we’ll be making at #io16,” another tweet from Barra reads.
