Modern workplaces need both innovation and security. Employees need access to the best hardware and software, and IT needs to keep company data safe.
With that in mind, Android continues to introduce new tools for workers, all backed by the management and security features of Android Enterprise.
Here’s what you can expect from Android Enterprise in 2026.
1. Advanced AI agents and controls
Smarter workflows marry the next generation of AI agents with enterprise-grade controls.
- Contextual automation: Gemini has evolved to handle complex, multi-step workflows across applications using real-time on-screen context, eliminating the need for manual app switching. Gemini can sort through the user’s calendar, emails, browser, and more to find information and execute various tasks.
- Work profile separation: Built-in safeguards that strictly respect work profile isolation prevent personal agents from accessing corporate apps and data.
- Granular IT control: Administrators can easily configure, restrict, or disable AI automation fleet-wide using our Android Enterprise management policies.
2. Next-gen manageable XR devices
Introduce new cutting-edge hardware to your workforce with the XREAL Aura wired glasses.
- Unified hardware management: IT administrators can manage and secure diverse XR devices — from immersive headsets like the Samsung Galaxy XR to XR wired glasses like the XREAL Aura (coming in Q4) — alongside standard mobile fleets via Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) consoles powered by the Android Management API.
- Hands-free productivity: Workers will gain access to discreet heads-up displays, integrated audio, and AI assistance, while staying fully integrated with enterprise tools.
