Vine's Failure is Twitter's Failure
Fresh ep. Time to jump the crevasse. This Android Police podcast, we're shooting down the Rabbit R1 and its ilk for good. We're also measuring up the stakes in TikTok's fight for survival in America. In the Google realms, the Pixel 8a is set for a cakewalk, Android 15 is firming up nicely (hopefully no odd ice crystals in the vanilla ice cream), and Will needs to cool down from all that screen time. Big and busy, that's how we like these shows. 02:35 | AI Gadgetry Here’s the real story of the Rabbit R1's reported Android roots 32:26 | Social Strife US TikTok ban: How we got here and what happens next ByteDance would rather pull TikTok from the US if its legal efforts fail Meta’s upgraded AI comes to WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook 40:39 | In Android The Pixel 8a will reportedly cost the same as the Pixel 7a Samsung’s most powerful customization app comes to the Play Store 52:00 | A Clean Fifteen Android 15 may finally allow you to force dark mode in any app Android 15 could stop you from leaking sensitive content while screen sharing Android 15 might have a less awkward landscape UI on phones Android 15 is working on a clever solution for spammy notifications Check out XDA's video on the legacy of the HTC One M8, ten years on!

This Show Is Made Possible by Listeners Like You. Thank You!
The 100th Android Police podcast is everything you've wanted it to be. Google this, Android that, Samsung's broken, OnePlus's broken, and we finally see what's inside The Hatch from Lost. Gemini takes a page from a BAFTA vote that has gone completely insane and the streaming industry makes money on top of showbuilding practices that are incredibly destructive to viewer habits (and, thus, their revenue), but at least Skynet's incompetent intelligence means we get to live another day, folks. Nothing gets cut. Everything's here. This is the show you've been waiting for. 01:54 | Spatially Aware Filterworld by Kyle Chayka: Penguin Random House Testing the New Apple Vision Pro Spatial Persona - MacRumors 07:49 | I've Paid Money For Worse AI Google may charge you for generative AI search in the future Lara Croft Crowned Most Iconic Video Games Character of All Time, According to BAFTA Poll | BAFTA Sonic the Hedgehog Chia Pet® - Chia.com 27:05 | How Many Ways Can Google Piss People Off?

Phone Wars: An Old Hope
Google's had it out for the Android Police podcast all this time. No, not in the ways in which it's made it difficult for us to write the stories we talk about on the show, but with how its grown its phones. Android. Nexus. Pixel. All of it. The bulk of this 99th episode — which does not contain four minutes of cut-out frolicking midshow banter between our hosts — will cover the latest we're hearing about the Pixel 9 very big triple threat XL with a cherry on top.

Apple's Ball Pit of Doom
The Department of Justice serves Apple a whopper of an antitrust suit, the consequences of which will take years to suss out and reverberate with impacts on competitors, developers, and consumers. So, what do we see from the shores of Android? The Android Police podcast is all about insights this week, some of them from our interview with Eric Migicovsky of Beeper and Pebble fame. And then we get broken down by a hilariously bad Moto G that should've been kept back in the dusty drawers of 2015. 02:03 | US v.

We Lack A Small Phone Coffin
Marques Brownlee commissions a tiny little coffin into which he places the ZenFone 10 and we're over here trying to trigger the next wave of tiny little phones. As people keep saying, time is a flat circle. That conversation plus another notch in the epoch that is Samsung's management in mobile decline, the big TikTok sovereignty debate, and a couple of tangents on the artist formerly known as Twitter, late-90's MMOs, and tin rooves on this Android Police podcast! 01:19 | TikTok The House has taken a key step toward banning TikTok in the US Is TikTok safe to use?

Angry Betas, Angry Apples
Man, since when did Google's pre-release tracks of Android return to just utter garbage? And how much longer can Apple sustain its flat-footed outrage against the Digital Markets Act? We're firing some quick shots on the Android Police podcast this week to tackle some touchstones that are carrying the conversation in our mobile sphere for the days and weeks ahead. 02:56 | Scatterdroid Google's March Feature Drop is here, but not for you Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 is here, but you should be careful sideloading 17:03 | Acid Apple Epic Games just got unbanned by Apple — again - The Verge I tested Apple’s EU-only iOS 17.4, and it doesn't feel any closer to Android (yet) Switching from iPhone to Android will get much easier next year 32:28 | Flash Fry The Pixel 8a might cost nearly as much as Google's 2022 flagship Another Nintendo DS emulator bites the dust following the folding of Yuzu Will was on the Android Faithful podcast this week if you want more!

The Loudest Phone
Mobile World Congress has adjourned for another year and the Android Police podcast is here to run through the minutes as trapsed from hall to hall looking for what tech companies are saying is their best for 2024. Is the Galaxy Ring going to deliver on its hype? How many times can Motorola do a bendy wristphone before it gets old? And what's with all these 5G flip phones that aren't foldables? Will joins Manuel Vonau and Dominic Preston this week to sort it out. 05:30 | The Show Best of MWC 2024: Android Police’s awards for the world’s biggest mobile show The world's biggest mobile show is more concept than ever Energizer just slapped a phone into a powerbank Motorola's bendy smartphone is a futuristic dead end Xiaomi 14 Ultra changes the camera but not much else The OnePlus Watch 2 was just practically announced OnePlus Watch 2 review: Worth it for the battery alone 7 new things we've learned about the Samsung Galaxy Ring A Barbie flip phone is coming later this year This phone was made for the worst person you know Our hosts this week are Will Sattelberg, Manuel Vonau, and Dominic Preston (check out his Substack for Barcelona foodie picks!).

In Defense of Android
Yes, we've seen your comments about how we at the Android Police podcast can get so down on the topic our site is all about, but hey: you'd be distressed about the ecosystem, too, if you had the numbers we're looking at and not much corporate steering power in the backseat. So, on this episode, we chat about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the refinement of the Pixel Fold 2, and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. And maybe we'll be a little sad, then hopeful about Android while we're at it. 03:34 | Slow week, huh? The Google Pixel 6 Pro's overheating issues are now a legal matter First Pixel Fold 2 renders confirm Google is shaking up its design 15:52 | Mind over matter Seven different iPhone models outsold every Android phone last year Apple reveals new details about Spotify’s business as possible EU fine nears | TechCrunch 34:48 | The closers Xiaomi 14 Ultra combines a 1-inch camera sensor with four AI imaging models Wyze is once again caught in security incident affecting thousands Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Android Makes It a Clean Fifteen
This week on the Android Police podcast, we talk all about the first Android 15 developer preview despite the fact that, at the time of recording, we had barely an idea about what its best features were going to be. Of all things to be part of a Friday news dump, it had to be new software. Plus, further ruminations on generative AI, gaming, and why you need to chill out about the Galaxy S24's display. 02:46 | Android 15 Android 15’s first developer preview is here How to easily install the Android 15 developer preview on your Pixel Android 15 leaves Snapdragon Pixels behind, and I'm sad Android 15 finally lets you disable keyboard haptics Android 15’s new Notification cooldown will silence alert spam automatically Android 15's timeline plans to get back on track Android 15 gets a mention in Google's latest Easter egg Android 15 sticks with Android 14's space theme for some reason 20:23 | Gemini 1.5 Google Gemini is ready to level up after just two months OpenAI introduces Sora, its text-to-video AI model - The Verge 44:12 | Other News Microsoft: four Xbox-exclusive games are coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch - The Verge The Galaxy S24's first update brings a needed fix for your dull display colors The Samsung Galaxy S24 could be suffering from even more display issues The Nothing Phone 2a is launching on March 5 Amazon Prime Video's ads are joined by worse video quality Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

GeminIrony
This week's Android Police podcast is a heady, tough one for us, but it's one we have to do because the news and business cycles dictate it. Google climbs up yet another rung on its ambitions of AI domineering and we're taking the time to ask the hard questions that have been pounding around for years. We might answer them, if not for you, for ourselves. Also on the docket, some quaint little Pixel rumors, a reviewer's review of his review of the OnePlus 12R, and a whole lot more. 02:21 | Our Business Google's inconsistent Pixel experience makes its phones impossible to recommend OnePlus 12R review: A real flagship killer for $500 19:27 | Gemini, Man Google Bard is dead, long live Google Gemini With Gemini, Google's inability to properly brand products is more apparent than ever Using the Gemini app automatically disables Google Assistant on Android Google Gemini is promising, but it can't replace Assistant just yet Google Gemini doesn't have these Assistant features yet Heads up: Gemini Advanced is only available to the main family member Google Gemini is expanding to more regions next week What is Google Gemini? 48:21 | Hard Worn First Pixel Fold 2 leaks show a radical new design for Google's foldable Google's new Android 14 beta hints at the Pixel Tablet 2 Google could jump straight to a Tensor G4 for the Pixel Fold 2 New Nothing Phone 2a leak is all business in the front, nothing in the back OnePlus compares seven years of OS updates to a moldy sandwich Samsung uses lower quality titanium than Apple on its flagship phone ESPN, Fox, Warner Bros. to launch joint sports streaming platform (cnbc.com) Disney shares notch best day in three years after Q1 2024 earnings (cnbc.com) Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

A Vision of the Future (Pro)?
You saw the journos and critics pinch in awkwardly-framed photos. Now you get to hear the takes on Apple Vision Pro that may or may not be spicier than a daring fireball. Sorry, John. And if that's not your cup 'er tea, no sirree (sorry everyone else), the Android Police podcast this week will also bring you a few updated thoughts on the Galaxy S24 series, the Pixel 8 Pro in Mint, and the Play Store's challenges for 2024. 01:50 | Refreshers Samsung Galaxy S24+ review: This is the one to buy Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review: Still the best, unless you take photos The Galaxy S24 feels better than ever — and more like an iPhone The Pixel 8 Pro’s weird thermometer actually managed to beat my extremely low expectations How to fix your Pixel phone's storage problems after installing the January 2024 update 19:34 | Apple Vision Pro I Spent 24 Hours Wearing Apple's Vision Pro Headset | WSJ (YouTube) Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not - The Verge 53:39 | Play it Back Google's new Play Store boss says he's focused on developers, not lawsuits Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader, Ara Wagoner, and Will Sattelberg.

The OnePlus 12 Hits Like A Bus
We're tired. We're in hell. But at least there's a cool spot or two in this painful landscape. On the Android Police podcast this week, we take a second hit on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, extract every bit of solace we can out of the OnePlus 12 (and OnePlus 12R), and then pin our hopes on Google much as one would pin the tail on the donkey. That is, blindfolded and spun around. 02:52 | S24 Blur Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review: Run it back Galaxy AI is coming to even fewer Samsung phones than we thought 24:16 | The One To Turn To OnePlus 12 review: All flagship, no AI 33:55 | Future Google Google Pixel 8a retail box leaks, confirms Pixel 8-like design First Pixel 9 leak eliminates the camera bar's awkward wraparound New Pixel 9 leak raises more questions than answers See Google's Pixel 8 in its brand new mint shade 50:20 | All Else Samsung's cheaper Galaxy Z Fold 6 model could launch this year The Pixel Watch 3 could finally address a major shortcoming of the first two models You'll need to pay up to escape Netflix ads Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader, Ara Wagoner, and Will Sattelberg.

The Galaxy S24 May Be Worse Than Boring
Well, would you look at that? It's all the changes we expected and then some. The Galaxy S24 is about as close to an inch Samsung thinks it can afford to creep along without actually getting there. We tick off our laundry list of all the reasons why we hate it on this Android Police podcast. Also on the show, Apple's taking a bath with the Vision Pro for now, but will it outlast the seething rage of app developers?

Was Tap to Cast The Only Good Thing About CES?
The Android Police podcast is back with a new episode with our own Will Sattelberg commanding the grounds in Las Vegas for CES plus Ara and editor Jules (hi) filling in for Daniel. Plenty of people were hopping around the convention halls for a Rabbit R1, some of them were hogging up space inside Google's Polestar, and only a select handful of tech media got to enjoy Nelly absolutely killing it for an hour inside a giant, empty arena. That's CES for you. We hope you'll be content with the AP account of it as told by our voices plagued by varying levels of sickness. Yes, I know mine's the worst.

It's a filler episode on the Android Police podcast this week as we peer into the contemporary cognoscenti on the cloud gaming platform that was never meant to be: Google Stadia. We join together two separate eras of the show, bridging from an uneasy launch across to a protracted, aching end. Join us here today and we'll join you from CES next week.

On this Android Police podcast, we follow up on a see-saw week with Beeper on one side attempting to open a pathway for iPhone users to securely message all the non-iPhone people (and services) out there and Apple plainly wanting to shut that down.
