With Google giving us a glimpse at its Android O operating system along with its development for Google Home at its I/O conference, there was one tradition Google managed to retain with the annual distribution of its Play Store awards.

Is Google replacing Android with a new OS?

During a special Google Play Award ceremony at Google I/O, the tech giant honoured 12 apps and games that give their fans delightful and memorable experiences. “With more than 85 billion apps and games downloaded on Google Play over the past year, these were some of the experiences that captured our imagination,” said Google in a blog post.

This year the winners were as follows.
