Putting good money on the Pixel 9a

Android Police ·

2025/02/16

What's out there that's good to watch these days? More often than not, people are turning to YouTube than anywhere else. As if Apple TV+ wasn't already on a steep climb with Android users. We detail the streamer's big push into enemy territory and chat about Pixel 9a expectations as well as a final look at the Galaxy S25 series (for now) in this week's Android Police podcast.01:09 | Old businessNothing is ready to join the big leagues with its first flagship phoneNothing wants $100 million in

Is Pixel a house of Pebbles?

Android Police ·

2025/02/02

The zephyrs of news this week have completely displaced all of the good bits of Android news that could have popped up onto the surface for this Android Police podcast. So, for this week, we'll avoid talking about executive crimes, Diablo IV, and stretched hands. Instead, we look at Google's continued slow-motion deconstruction of its workforce potentially affecting the Pixel unit (and the Pixel 9a's development), the Galaxy S25's inability to even inspire the eye with its pallid colors, and

Is the Galaxy S25 Edge dull?

It may have been the sharpest unit out of the entire Unpacked presentation, but did it really live up to all the hopes we had of at least a dash of excitement from Samsung in 2025? The Android Police podcast is on the ground in San Jose as we report and opine on what the Galaxy S25 family has to offer and what Android's biggest brand name is holding back. 00:27 | Sledging the EdgeSamsung's Galaxy S25 Edge teaser put a bow on an otherwise 'slim' Unpacked06:38 | Everything else S25Samsung Galaxy S25

The "Best" Galaxy S25 May Not Come This Week

Talk to a grounded, even-footed tech journalists and the first thing you'll find getting them down is the all-cylinders pulse of artificial intelligence everywhere. Sure, PC and gaming hardware is still extremely interesting, but when it comes to smartphones, it feels like we're entering this week's Unpacked event like it was 2024 — except, there's more of it.On this Android Police podcast, a prelude to the Galaxy S25 series, the prelude to the prelude of the best phone of the Galaxy S25 series

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

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.

AP's Best of 2024: The iPhone 16 and...

Android Police ·

2024/12/22

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

Android's next Daydream? Or a nightmare in the making?

Android Police ·

2024/12/15

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 Vertical App Drawer on One UI 7

Android Police ·

2024/12/08

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.

Be Thankful This Isn't About Oppo v. Apple

Android Police ·

2024/11/30

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

Antitrust or Anti-Google?

2024/11/24

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

Can Samsung Ever Lead Again?

Android Police ·

2024/11/17

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

Google Gets to Gloat

2024/11/11

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

Will the Real Android Please Stand Up?

Android Police ·

2024/11/03

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 ThingsAndroid 16

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.Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite: Everything

Samsung's Got Surprises

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?

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.

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.

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
