Android Police

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 WayLeaked 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 corner27:17 | A Viral Spiral into AIMy 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 TrendsAlso:Sony announces the $700 PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscalingOur 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!

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 GLOATwareThe 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.

This Android Police podcast has been recorded live in front of a studio Will and Daniel as both wax critical on this week's Made by Google event. What of the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold? Is the narrative over artificial intelligence being steered in the right direction, perhaps maybe towards a thousand little directions? Hey, Fisher, when are you bringing Clicks to the Fold?

The Android Police podcast returns for a trot through the big Google anti-trust ruling this week and what details you might be missing to help it make more sense. After that, it's Pixel pricing prognostications, Apex Legends-aping foldable phones, and a Wiggles-induced rant about the failing company that is luxury audio brand Sonos. And there's about 15 minutes of cut material that we won't be sharing with you this time around.03:11 | Justice?Judge rules 'Google is a monopolist' in landmark antitrust decision23:08 | Made?Leaked US pricing shows that Google's new Pixel 9 Pro models won't come cheapLatest Pixel Watch 3 leak hints at a letdown in the processor departmentGoogle TV Streamer is officially here to take over for your ChromecastGoogle is killing Chromecast, and for once, it's the right moveAfter nearly a decade, Google announces a new Nest Learning Thermostat that looks like a Pixel Watch on your wallHow to watch Made by Google August 2024 event43:30 | Grab?My favorite foldable of 2023 may just be my favorite foldable of 2024, tooSonos claims it will fix its controversial app before launching anything newOur regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Like any TV series that has stuck around for a season too long, the Android Police podcast is back with another freaking week of Pixel leaks, this time on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The long and short of it is that we're hoping it nails the landing, but wouldn't be surprised if it disappointed us when it launches with, say, a year-old version of Android. Also, our prospects on a folding iPhone and discourse on an ABC primetime show from the year 200-something as brought on by Android Police editor-in-chief and natural wellspring purveyor James Peckham.02:42 | 9 LivesYour wait for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold might stretch until SeptemberThe Pixel 9 Pro Fold might offer more bang for your buck with bigger and better displaysGoogle Pixel 9 Pro Fold looks to be heavy, but there's a reason whyThe Pixel 9's Tensor G4 might be the least interesting thing about Google's new phonesGoogle's Pixel 9 series may launch with Android 14, not 15This Pixel Watch 3 marketing material leak is a treasure trove of details30:19 | The iPhone SegmentApple Moves Forward With Foldable iPhone — The InformationFoldable iPad tipped to drop in 2026 with the foldable iPhone | Tom's Guide37:00 | Apex Legends?The OnePlus Open looks 🔥in this sleek new red colorSamsung Galaxy Ring review: Health first, fitness secondGalaxy Z Fold 6 durability test gives us Note 7 flashbacksNothing Phone 2a Plus debuts with a brand-new chip and shiny colorwaysGoogle's so happy Apple added RCS support that it basically made an iOS adOur regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

If Jackson Pollack dabbled in podcasts, this Android Police podcast would be one of his finest works. This week, another onslaught of Pixel rumor material, some thoughts on Samsung after another hardware review period, Sonos is sorry but isn't doing anything about it, and Google attempts to convince Android users that apps can be cool.

Three weeks and change until Google's big Pixel event and it seems like every last puzzle piece is falling into place, but when the box art shows you what you're supposed to be making, do you really think anyone's going to be surprised? Also on the Android Police podcast this week, Samsung is wagging the dog as we talk about our true feelings about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the whole world at large this year.

Samsung is playing a game of inches and it may not be worth the patience it's putting into it. The Android Police podcast takes a long look at the latest Unpacked showcase with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 giving us pangs of boredom and the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Buds 3 giving us Apple whiplash. It's a lot to deal with.

Ahead of the Galaxy Z Fold6 debut this coming week, the Android Police podcast is trawling through our archives for a look back at the device series as a whole. Specifically, our former iteration of the show was able to grab onto the launch of the original Galaxy Fold and ride it all the way to its obfuscation into infamy with some broken glass and a lot of broken diodes. We also visit our reviews of the Fold4 and Fold5 in our current rendition of the program.

We're extremely proud of our focused and concise, but girthy(!) Android Police podcast this week. Motorola takes the stage with new Razrs that shine in the fit-and-finish department, but it's software and day-to-day performance that will always be the devilish details that follow. We give early impressions. Plus, rundowns on Google and Samsung having their summer events way too early. And a shout-out to Hamilton, Ontario.

Before we slip into something comfy for Hot Phone Summer, on this Android Police podcast, we rinse ourselves with some rumor upkeep on the Pixel 10 (of all things), the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6, and even this year's Moto Razr. We engage in a sort of food fight with the Emoji Kitchen as our battleground and generative AI as the weapons. And we talk about legislatures moving to ban kids from using smartphones in school. There's also a little "State of the Show" address at the end, if you're interested in the meta.04:57 | The Fun StuffGoogle wants to help you cool down your overheating PixelGoogle's Pixel 10 processor will follow in the iPhone's footsteps in one important wayLeaked Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 dummies reveal persistent crease woesLeak confirms Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will adopt an AirPods Pro-like designGoogle's answer to Apple's Genmoji spotted in development for the Pixel 9Leak details Motorola's Razr+ 2024 will pack some big upgrades34:23 | The Head ScratchersNew York passes law aimed at protecting kids and teens from doomscrollingCalifornia’s governor is trying to crack down on smartphones in schools - The VergeUS surgeon general wants tobacco-like warning labels on social media - The VergeForbes letter threatens legal action against Perplexity AI over copyrightPerplexity Is a Bullshit Machine | WIREDUS sues Adobe after it 'trapped customers' with misleading Photoshop plans57:11 | Thoughts?Excerpt from WROC-TV/Nexstar (via Studio 31 Media Archive/YouTube).Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Welcome to the Android Police podcast. For the first 45 minutes of the show, we're talking about WWDC 2024. Yes, it's Apple Intelligence, but it's also the surprising amount of latitude the company is finally giving its customers after years of behaving like it knows better. In our second half, we'll see what's cooking between Pixels of current day and of the future as well as talk about the death of Jabra earbuds, the life of the Light Phone 3, and the trite mention of so much more. It's more show than ever.02:22 | WWDCApple Intelligence is the iPhone's answer to Gemini and Galaxy AIBetter texting between Android and iOS is coming this fall with RCS in iOS 18Apple announces iOS 18 with new AI features and more customizable homescreen - The VergeApple made an iPad calculator app after 14 years - The VergeApple is putting ChatGPT in Siri for free later this year - The VergeApple Photos is getting its biggest revamp yet in iOS 18 (pocket-lint.com)Game Mode on iOS announced at WWDC (pocket-lint.com)At WWDC 2024, Apple had no new ideas to share (pocket-lint.com)Pocket-lint is a sister Valnet site to Android Police.37:35 | AndroidGoogle's June Pixel Feature Drop expands Gemini Nano and adds DisplayPort outputHere's our first good look at the Pixel Watch 3 XLSide-by-side Pixel Watch 3 and 3 XL renders showcase slimmer bezels for one modelDave Burke steps down from leading Android's engineering team after more than a decadeGoogle triples down on its warranty for Pixel 8 devices with display issuesGoogle releases second installment of zero-day exploit patch, but only for Pixel phonesGoogle's AI created a glue-eating stir, then learned to recommend glue again from the ensuing coverage54:54 | Everything

Chocolate, as we know it, is bad for us. No, not even the fancy high-cocoa dark stuff. But on this Android Police podcast, our conversation melts into how Google drives the misleading myths promoting it as a health food, pretty much.

It'd be nice to get a momentum shift in the news, but for as long as it's the apparent elephant in the room, we're talking once again about Google and AI on the Android Police podcast. This week, it's the company's response to users and the publishers who have come to rely on search traffic to keep their sites alive. We'll also pull a few new Android 15 features that we're glad to see and, if we make it past the first-cup crash, we'll get to beat down on Sony for some Overwatch clones and praise it for Astro Bot!02:11 | Google to websites: Go eat glue and rocksGoogle says it's fixing those odd AI Overviews that told people to eat glue and rocksOpenAI signs deals with Vox, the Atlantic to put news into ChatGPT - The Washington PostMassive Google Search leak unearths treasure trove of SEO dataGoogle won’t comment on a potentially massive leak of its search algorithm documentation - The Verge29:00 | Android 15Google's newest Android features get you RCS message editing, instant hotspot, and moreGoogle Home widgets will bring one-tap controls to your Android homescreen38:06 | State of PlayThe incredibly charming Astro Bot launches on the PS5 in September - The VergeOur regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

To think that the lowly internet commenter is being done wrong by multi-million-, even multi-billion-dollar brands. Why, perish such sacrilege! You see, there's a certain unease on this week's Android Police podcast as Will and Daniel trickle through how Sonos is banking heavily on some poorly-formed assumptions about its customer base and how Microsoft and Google are overcommitted to making money off of their investments sunk into artificial intelligence. Before all of that, we recap our first-round impressions of the Pixel 8a.01:48 | AI isn't itGoogle's AI-packed I/O keynote was missing the one thing I actually wanted to seeGoogle Pixel 8a review: A great phone that I'm not sure you should buyThe Pixel 8a might be my favorite Google phone yet, but I'm still not sure I can recommend it29:44 | DeucesSonos finally enters a new market with $449 Ace headphonesPeople hate the new Sonos app even as company calls redesign 'courageous'Sonos' CEO has some regrets about the recent app redesign rolloutAndroid 15 Beta 2 brings back media volume controls for casting49:43 | EncroachmentDell, HP, Lenovo, and more jump on the Snapdragon X train with Microsoft's Copilot+ AIHumane is looking for a buyer, just like the AI PinOne week in and Google's AI Overviews are already getting adsGoogle is in damage control mode following AI Overviews fiascoTurns out OpenAI's voice assistant sounding like Scarlett Johannsson wasn't much of a coincidenceExtra Links:Suicide Prevention Resources from OpenCounselingThe Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel | Jenny NicholsonWhat Does A Great Cup Of Coffee Taste Like? | James HoffmannExcerpts from Disney/Pixar, Annapurna Pictures/Stage 6 Films, OpenAI, and James Hoffmann.Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and

This Android Police podcast, Will and Joe Maring, editor of the section dubbed Mobile for Digital Trends, are starved of sleep and proper equipment prior to sharing their thoughts about Google I/O 2024. If you've been living above ground for the past couple years, you know what this song and dance is working up to: more artificial intelligence promises, more asphalt for the road on which the kicked can lies, and extremely inadequate results that would probably make your parents think twice about sticking them on the fridge door.The good news is that you'll all get to try this smorgasbord in any case, so let's talk it through and prepare you for what you'll see.Google I/O 2024: Everything announced so farGoogle I/O 2024 showed how it wants Gemini to pull all its products togetherAt I/O 2024, the theme for Android's future was safety | Digital TrendsGemini comes to Google Photos to supercharge search and curationGoogle Photos wants to stop memes from killing your feed's vibeMy Google Photos library is getting to be unmanageableAsk Photos is the AI-powered Google Photos tool I've been waiting forI saw Google's 'vision for the future of AI assistants' at I/O, and I'm cautiously optimisticI saw Google's futuristic Project Astra, and it was jaw-dropping | Digital TrendsGoogle's AI-packed I/O keynote was missing the one thing I actually wanted to seeOpenAI releases GPT-4o, a faster model that’s free for all ChatGPT users - The VergeChatGPT will be able to talk to you like Scarlett Johansson in Her - The VergeAudio excerpts from Disney/ABC and Bad Robot.You can also find Joe Maring on X.
