Android Police

After a well-deserved holiday break and a taxing-as-usual CES, we're back with a fresh new episode of the Android Police podcast. Daniel and Will are here to chat about their favorite power bank from Anker at the show! Also, a phone that neither of them can really buy, but it still looks cool to us anyway! And we take a crack at defining how the OnePlus 13 might play the market this year as a solid Android device that isn't from Samsung or Google, doesn't have as much retail reach as the two of them, but delivers great value for money. 01:26 | CES 2025 Best of CES 2025: Android Police's awards for the world's biggest tech showLenovo just announced three new Android tablets and two new gaming handheldsThe Lenovo Legion Go S could finally get me into handheld gaming PCsTCL's latest smartphone might be the Boox Palma 2 rival you've been looking forThe next generation of Google TVs will let you talk to Gemini without a remoteThe people behind NFC and Qi charging are cooking up a new standard for kitchensA major wireless charging pain point in cars will be fixed by Qi2 extensionAndroid’s MagSafe moment has finally arrived 26:10 | OP13 Review: The OnePlus 13 is good enough to make you say goodbye to SamsungReview: The OnePlus 13R will make you forget you’re using a sub-$600 phoneI think I like the OnePlus 13R better...The OnePlus 13 Paradox 46:42 | Scatterings This Iron Man phone looks awesome, but there's one giant catchSonos CEO resigns as 'courageous' app redesign fell flatCES 2025 predictions, most improved phone, OnePlus Open 2 leak, Poco X7 series details, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra cameras, and Apple iPhone 17 rumors with Will Sattelberg of Android Police – Mobile Tech Podcast 408 | World Podcasts Our regular hosts are

Welcome back to this Android Police podcast already in progress: this episode, Daniel and Will go over all their favorite (or, at least, the most impactful to them) non-tech stuff of 2024 from books to movies to games. It's a subdued outing this time around, but you might take home a couple of decent recommendations for your new year. We're back in two weeks with all the action from CES 2025!

Welcome to this year-end cope session of an Android Police podcast. So, what did we deal with in 2024? A year of manufacturer mediocrity for the sake of revenue-treading agentic AI, that's what. Amid the storylines of fiery crash-and-burns on the hardware side and the lack of a money tree on the software side, there was little of substance to adore when it came to the average commodity smartphone. But we'll share some thoughts (and a whole lot of feelings) on the big stories in our field and the biggest products of our day on this very episode. 0:49 | In Our World exposing the hawk tuah scam | Coffeezilla (YouTube)Haliey Welch on X: "I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community [...]"I'm convinced AI won't be replacing our smartphones anytime soonGemini 2.0: Five major changes you need to knowGoogle proposes multiple changes to its strategy following antitrust rulingDoes AR or VR interest you at all?Google's market share stays surprisingly high after hot Pixel 9 sales startArm's licensing battle with Qualcomm just got a lot more serious 40:08 | No spoilers, but check out our Android Police Awards for 2024 for a holistic take from the entire AP team!

We've been asking what good AI is for a while now. In its search for answers, Google has stood up and said "headsets." This week on the Android Police podcast, we're talking about the launch of Gemini 2.0, Android XR, and what both could mean for hardware partners, app developers, and the competition involved from Meta to Apple. We also take a sidelong look into iOS 18.2 and the slow crawl of progress that is Apple Intelligence. AP staff writer and resident New Jerseyan Stephen Radochia joins us for the first time! 06:57 | Gemini in Virtual Space Google unleashes Gemini 2.0 with new image and audio powers for the AI agent eraHey Gemini: Google's hotword gets a refresh in official teaser videoGoogle wants Android XR to power your next VR headset and smart glassesAndroid XR software: Here are the VR games and AR apps coming to the new OSGoogle Gemini steals the show in live demo of Android XR and Project MoohanI'm amazed Samsung's XR glasses shifted to such a different focus than originally impliedThis is our first look at Samsung's VR headset running Android XR 52:45 | iOS 18.2 5 ways Android 15 is better than iOS 18Vision Models: How AI understands and interprets visual media Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Another Pixel-packed update to Android makes a bigger splash than we would've thought this time of year and the Android Police podcast is all over it. Also on this program, we see Samsung fall firmly into Apple's line when it comes to many of the design choices it made for the big One UI 7 update. And who would've thought that the PlayStation Portal would've been an item to celebrate? Funny how it goes sometimes when the PS5 Pro is, truly, such a punching bag. That and more this week. 01:04 | QPR does not stand for Quarter Pounder Google's December Pixel Feature Drop is all about Pixel 9All the features Google didn't tell you about in Android 15's first quarterly releasePixel Screenshots escapes its app in massive new Pixel Drop updateAndroid's new feature bundle brings captions that actually show emotionsGoogle breathes new life into old Pixels with two more years of OS upgradesThe canceled Pixel Tablet 2 suggests Google learned all the wrong lessons 43:52 | Samsung Bashing Samsung's long-awaited One UI 7 beta is here to end 2024 on a high noteSamsung's One UI 7 finally embraces the vertical app drawerSamsung's new app drawer has one big, ugly thing wrong with it Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Global phone nerds find it frustrating when they have to act thankful for all the choice they have when, in fact, market segmentation and fragmentation makes it nigh on impossible to enjoy all the bounty we've got. It's why an Oppo Find X8 Pro vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max comparison is impractical for us to produce — the audience cannot exist for such a thing. But we here at the Android Police podcast are thankful you're with us as Americans wrap up a holiday of gathering, feasting, and buying. This time around, we'll be chatting about how Google just can't get an Android tablet right, how the company might screw up its path forward on tablets, and, hey, why not throw an Android-based laptop in there? We'll also dive into some quick reviews of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Oppo Find X8 Pro. 04:33 | How the Tablet Turns The Google Pixel Tablet 2 isn't out yet, and it looks like the Pixel Tablet 3 might never beThe Pixel Tablet 2 may be cancelled, but we'll somehow still get a Pixel Tablet 3The Pixel Tablet 2's reported cancelation proves Google's lack of commitmentChromeOS may eventually be replaced by Android 26:31 | Dueling Reviews I love the iPhone 16 Pro, but Apple's cameras are aging next to AndroidApple iPhone 16 Pro review: Apple's best, but no better than AndroidiPhone 16 Pro Max review: More Android than ever, for better and for worseAndroid already has its first Camera Control cloneOppo's Find X8 Pro packs dual periscopes, a haptic shutter button, and oodles of AIThis is my favorite photo snapped with the Oppo Find X8 Pro Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Like many families during American Thanksgiving, we've made too much Android Police podcast this week. The drumbeat towards Android 16 officially began with a thump, so why not talk about what's going on inside of it? The AI people are boasting about how they'll be going "agentic" in 2025, so why not catch that trend by its baby legs and put it against our calipers before runaway expectations catch fire? And why not dig a little deeper at the notion of Google being broken up by the Department of Justice since the agency's finally making the big asks it wants? We've got so many why nots this week that you'll be hearing even more from this week's taping come next holiday week! 01:29 | Let's Start with Android 16 Android 16: Developer Preview 1, features, and official release windowThe first Android 16 developer preview just landed: Here’s what you need to knowAndroid 16 will make the Photo Picker feel more integrated in appsHealth Connect is adding support for medical records in Android 16Android 16 might let Gemini order food for youNotification overload to meet its match in Android 16The Pixel 6 might get Android 16 after all 40:19 | Let's End with Chrome DOJ wants Google to sell Chrome to end its search monopolyA ChatGPT-powered browser could soon gun for Chrome's supremacyArc Search for Android is now available for allThe EU's new default browser rules work; here's what it means for the US Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

The importance of Samsung in the Android ecosystem, in spite of our whining about its tepidness, remains paramount. So, how will this tech leader carve its path in 2025? Perhaps an all-Snapdragon year of flagships? A tri-foldable to answer the calls of Huawei? Or a delay in Galaxy AI features that were promised to come with One UI 7? James Peckham joins Will this week as the Android Police podcast paints out the plot. Plus, the demise of Amazon's Freevee, the continued demise of Xbox's future, and a nifty new thing we've done with the Pixel 9 (and might do with other phones, should you want it). 03:24 | Samsung Samsung Galaxy S25 launch date just leaked from two different sourcesGalaxy S25s will use Snapdragon worldwide due to poor Samsung Foundry yieldsOne UI 7 might not bring the upgrades you're waiting forSamsung's tri-fold phone might use an 'infolding' design to solve durability problemsSamsung may outsource Exynos to TSMC and scrap in-house Snapdragon plans 23:30 | Big Thoughts Google has made searching the Play Store so frustrating, I don't even bother anymoreReview: Google's Pixel 9 display is as good as it gets 39:28 | The Bag Xbox boss confirms a handheld console is in the worksValve's snowy Steam Deck is coming down the chimney just in time for ChristmasAmazon pulls the plug on Freevee, its free ad-supported streaming service Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

In what remains of the mobile ecosystem wars, how does the Android Police podcast make of all the good news Android (and, specifically, Google) has been getting in terms of shipments and trends lately? Well, we chalk it up to a surprisingly down year for the iPhone 16 and the Pixel 9 getting all the important just right enough. Also this week on the show, Netflix is showing signs it's keen on jettisoning its games offerings. We've also got a bonus segment of the show exclusive to androidpolice.com from November 12 talking not about the results of U.S. elections, but how we saw our most important platforms cover the event. Join us there for that. 03:29 | Googles of Good News The Pixel 9's strong sales numbers could be the key to Android's survivalGoogle's US market share soars as strong Pixel 9 sales help surpass Motorola and OnePlus 23:15 | Other News Amazon stops Kindle Colorsoft shipments due to major display issuesNetflix is killing some of its most unique streaming contentNintendo says the Switch successor will be compatible with Switch games - The VergeAlbum art is finally coming to your Pixel's 'Now Playing' feature We're Not Wrong Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

The Android Police podcast is still a podcast, first and foremost, about Android, so why not talk about Android first on this episode of the show? A novel idea! And perhaps a risky one if the reality of Android continues to trend in the direction we've been covering. Still, we're pressing fast forward on Android 16, dreading the iOS-ification of OEM skins, and, yet again, wondering if the AI heads are screwed into their necks straight. All that and more this hour. 03:13 | Android Things Android 16 will be released much earlier than you thinkNew One UI 7 leak reveals bolstered parental controls, new lock screen, AI features, and moreA rumored Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim could battle the iPhone 17 Slim late next yearThe OnePlus 13 is official, and it might be the phone power users have been dreaming of 23:01 | Serious Other Things ChatGPT's answer to Google Search is now availableWill Apple Intelligence be enough to make the iPhone 16 exciting? 38:19 | One Last Thing (or Two) This Pixel 9a leak might convince you to hold off on your Pixel 9 purchaseNintendo just launched its own music streaming app, and it's loaded with nostalgiaDiamond Jubilee | Cindy Lee Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

All of a sudden, it's a tightening race in the chip sector to bring efficiency to bear in what may beget the merging of applications in the mobile and desktop worlds... again. You know, like we haven't tried or done that before. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite is our star for today's Android Police podcast, but we will also trifle through the thought of a tri-fold Galaxy Z Fold 7... and given how timid Samsung has been, yes, we're just as surprised as you are.

Things are a little too quiet around here: the Android Police podcast doesn't do Mac news and the Android 15 update coming out this week isn't exactly going to start fires. Why not have Samsung toy around with a new aspect ratio for its foldables in Asia next week? Or maybe we should take the bait and see how we feel about an AI chatbot replacing the entire settings menu in One UI? James Peckham fills in for Daniel on yet another interesting episode. 03:13 | Fifteen Winks Review: My favorite Android 15 features are far from flashy9 essential Android 15 features you'll want to try immediatelyAndroid 15: Availability, timeline, and what's new in Google's latest software relase 25:19 | Sam Strung Review: I love Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10+, but it's a hard tablet to recommendReview: The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is one step away from greatnessA better Galaxy Z Fold 6 is launching this month, but not for everyoneIs Samsung's rumored AI Settings push genius, or a joke? 49:28 | We're Having Potluck for Dessert Review: The iPhone 16 is the iPhone you should be tempted byMusk's X disregards app store policies with new block function revampWe finally have a color Kindle as the entire e-reader lineup gets a refreshBBC One - LudwigBalatro – Apps on Google Play Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Will and Daniel are back on the Android Police podcast covering some breaking news that folks in our space have been expecting for a while now. But will Epic Games and the Department of Justice actually bring Google to heel? After all, we are talking about an internet monolith controlling several major markets that consist of our core experiences navigating the online and mobile worlds. And will the relief sought be the relief brought forth? Also, we take a twirl around the edge of your phone's screen, get a wake-up call from Nintendo, and recall the Microsoft Kin on the show this week! 04:12 | Axe Grinding Epic just won almost everything it asked for in its Google Play Store trialGoogle's appeal of the Epic ruling asks 'Why not Apple?'4 ways the Play Store could change after Google ordered to offer alternatives to its app platformThe DOJ wants to break up Google, suggests splitting Chrome and Android 45:35 | Lower Stakes Smartphone bezels are almost too slim, and that's a big problem for usabilityNintendo's Alarmo calls on your favorite characters to get you out of bedSamsung says sorry for not innovating enoughMicrosoft Introduces ‘Kin’, Shows That They, Like, Totally Get KidsGoogle Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: A splash of color in a drab market Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

The Android Police podcast is thrilled to be joined this week by longtime Verge producer and freshly-minted indie tech creator Becca Farsace! Since leaving the Vox fixture, she's been on an incredible ride through the "middle of nowhere" as she describes it towards... well, "nothing," wherever that is. Building off her considerable knowledge base in cameras, Daniel sits down with Becca to chat about whether she'll end up placing the iPhone 16 over the Pixel 9 this year for top smartphone camera. But if you love tales about storycraft and waxing philosophical about the tech that keeps our lives tethered in place, get comfy and strap in.

It's the Android Police podcast for the week to close out September and we're getting some post-equinox afterburners to complement a hot summer of consumer tech. We spend a bit too long talking about the Google TV Streamer and our unfulfilled need for a decent set-top box before hitting on the Pixel Buds 2 Pro or Pro 2 or Pixel 2 Pro Buds — someone help. A quick whip around the Galaxy S24 FE and some tablets will bring us into Marques Brownlee's Panels problems and what our parasocial paradigms have caused in inflating this mess. 04:45 | Made It to Google My least favorite Google TV Streamer feature might just be Google TV itselfReview: The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a bright spot in a dull marketFlashforward (TV Series 2009–2010) - IMDbAuthor Robert J.

Fall hasn't even started and we're already looking to next year with the Galaxy S25 phones rumbling their way into the rumor pipeline. And so, the Android Police podcast will be taking the bulk of our runtime this week to distill what we're hoping to get out of another year of Samsung-weighted expectations. That plus the false return of Flappy Bird, changes in how teens might use Instagram, and a home repair conversation that didn't make the edit — all of that, this week! 04:00 | Samsung All the Way Leaked Galaxy S25+ renders reveal Samsung will borrow a design cue from its latest foldableThese Samsung Galaxy S25+ leaks contain both good and bad newsSamsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra could outshine the iPhone 16 Pro Max in more ways than oneHere's how Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra may look different to the S24 UltraLeaked Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra renders reveal an iPhone-like flat designSamsung plans massive round of layoffs as Galaxy sales plateauThe Samsung Galaxy Tab S10's launch could be around the corner 27:17 | A Viral Spiral into AI My Rep read my novel.

Another year of Apple has really grown to become just that: another year. At least, that's what we think of it. And by "we," we of course mean the Android Police podcast and Joe Maring, mobile editor for Digital Trends who happened to be at Apple Park this week for the big launch. That leaves us with some questions about how the deck is stacked against Google and whether there are opportunities to be taken here. We dive in. 5 takeaways for Android users from Apple's September hardware eventApple's new iPhone 16 is here showcasing a feature Android OEMs should copyApple really wants you to switch from Android to one of its new iPhone 16 modelsApple’s lackluster iPhone 16 updates leave the door wide open for GoogleiPhone 16 and 16 Pro hands-on: all about the button | Digital TrendsApple Watch Series 10 hands-on: a bigger upgrade than you think | Digital Trends Also: Sony announces the $700 PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is coming into its own... or at least it's helping Google do so in the field of foldable phones. On this Android Police podcast, we've invited back Michael Fisher of the Mr. Mobile fame to rattle through the full width of the delta from the Pixel Fold. The 9 Pro Fold is so much better, no doubt, but will it make the case for millions and millions of people to go to their carrier store and buy this or any other foldable? Or is the sea change always going to be another year away? Also, we've got a (rough, but serviceable) video version of the show! It's our first one in years, though, so do check it out.

Congratulations on stumbling upon another Android Police podcast! This week, we conclude our collective reviews on the slab Pixel 9 series and we come to a resounding "it's alright." Whether or not you should buy it coming up from somewhere outside of the brand loyalty fold is another question and that really gets to whether you think the artificial intelligence features are important and positively useful to you. Oh, and our hosts have turned on their webcams for the first time in this iteration of the show and you won't be able to see much of that footage until we've had a chance to, uh, nail production down. 01:13 | More like AI GLOATware The AI bloatware era is here.

Android Police's editor-in-chief rejoins the podcast with Will and Daniel this time as the trio give a debrief on their time reviewing the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL. We get to the fundamentals of the phones and everything is actually better this year! And there's a lot of positivity going on until we get to Pixel Studio and Reimagine and the consequences coming through.
