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

    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!

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

    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.

    The Vertical App Drawer on One UI 7

    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.

    Be Thankful This Isn't About Oppo v. Apple

    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.

    Antitrust or Anti-Google?

    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.

    Can Samsung Ever Lead Again?

    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.

    Google Gets to Gloat

    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.

    Will the Real Android Please Stand Up?

    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.
