What's Plan B for the Pixel 9a? ft. Jason Howell

Mar 21 2025 67 mins  
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. But will a diminished design be the factor to turn Google's hardware tailwind into a headwind? Also on the show, after

Somebody Save Google... and Apple, too

Mar 16 2025 77 mins  
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 means you, too, Gruber). And if that

Samsung's Most Successful Phone in 2025

Mar 09 2025 75 mins  
It's not going to be the Galaxy S25 Edge. It's not going to be a Z Flip or a Z Fold. It's not going to be any of those. Rather, this week on the Android Police podcast, James Peckham joins Will to talk about the Galaxy A36 as the most likely to succeed at taking your limited buying dollars home to Korea. That plus all the other news from MWC 2025, including whatever Tecno's putting

If you've been waiting for a keyboard with clicky keys to attach to your Pixel 9, Razr+ 2024, or Galaxy S25, you can now put money down for it — Michael Fisher, friend of the show and co-founder of Clicks, is here to talk about ins and outs of bringing his product forward from iPhones to the Android side. We also discuss Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors and tear into Amazon's announcement

MISSING: OnePlus Open 2

Feb 23 2025 81 mins  
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 Watch 3, and a dose of streaming in

Putting good money on the Pixel 9a

Feb 16 2025 54 mins  
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

Is Pixel a house of Pebbles?

Feb 02 2025 44 mins  
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

Is the Galaxy S25 Edge dull?

Jan 24 2025 40 mins  
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 EdgeS

The "Best" Galaxy S25 May Not Come This Week

Jan 20 2025 56 mins  
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 Poli

There's a trick to the OnePlus 13...

Jan 15 2025 66 mins  
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 thi
