Google is commencing wave two of its fall Android lineup with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold getting slathered by critics.

Learning to love Liquid Glass 1:13:04

2M ago1:13:04

1:13:04

The Android Police podcast baits you with a title full of roasted crow, but the underlying gnashing of teeth remains the same. True, it turns out we didn't hate Apple's new aesthetic as much as we'd thought we would, but it's also carrying way too much baggage that either is neglected or is sweatily avoiding a fix. We'll get to some iPhone 17 Pro M…

1:02:46

For once in the Android Police podcast's history, we're actually throwing shadows on Apple. iOS 26 and the iPhone 17 are giving us the least confidence in how Apple is carrying its reliability and reputation in many years while Google seems to be mid-swing on its Pixel ascendancy and putting a good foot forward out of court for once. How did this c…

There's something new from Google this summer and in many ways, it's the same old, same old. We know a little something about that at Android Police, so we've decided to bust out the old podcast for another run; this time with a new co-host to come along.

This week's Android Police podcast raps Google's wrists for pulling the pall over Android app downloaders and their desires to grab an APK from a third-party source. We preview the look of Android 16 and also how it might NOT look like what's been discovered. All that, plus your usual dose of AI skepticism, quasi-Luddite propagandizing, and a retur…

Verizon might've made beaucoup bucks this winter, but it also lost nearly 300,000 subscribers to its wireless business. On the Android Police podcast, we follow the swarm of our curious readers and dig into where people might be going — the answer might not be as far away as you'd think. Also on the show, a little bit of I/O teaser chat, some Switc…

The future ahead of the Android buyer (and the Android Police podcast) is bleak.

Rumors of the OnePlus 13T once again revive the on-again-off-again thread of so-called "compact" phones in our industry. Our favorite clamshell foldable phone might be due for a price hike this year. And was 5G a lie all this time? Definitely not, but it certainly hasn't made miracles like it was supposed to. This week on the Android Police podcast…

It's an exciting week to listen into the Android Police podcast as Android Faithful host and longtime tech media personality Jason Howell joins us to discuss the Pixel 9a's theoretical positioning and the absolute stumble it took out of the starting gate this week.

1:17:43

We're on a rager of a tear this week on the Android Police podcast. Android 16 Beta 3 has cleared the post, but one of its headline features has drawn the ire of those who have had the displeasure to attempt to parse iOS's Notification Summaries. We get upset with Apple-centric media and its failure to properly cover the company's failures (that me…

When it comes to phones this week, we've been bathing in the late winter flash in the pan. And no, just because we're ladeling on the Apple talk doesn't mean we're giving the company a pass — far from it. It's the iPhone 16e on the Android Police podcast plus the Oppo Find N5 (not to be mistaken for the non-existent OnePlus Open 2), the OnePlus Wat…

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.

One of my favourite things each year is when Meena Shamaly host of Game Show on ABC Classic sends me the big list of tracks that have made a massive impact.

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.

53:25

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…

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 side…

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.

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 t…

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 aga…

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 …

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 th…
