Nuts With Chocolate Android Police podcast

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 out this year, boatloads of Android news from Google's section president Sameer Samat, a variety of bugdroid pins that will be described in excruciating detail for audio listeners (and shown for our YouTube viewers), and major cuts to Oscars discussion that added nearly a full half-hour of runtime to a show that didn't need to be that long in the first place. 07:22 | Android all the way Android 16 is on track for its June release, says Google’s Head of Android Android's extra Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 updates weren’t just because of Tensor Android 15's final Feature Drop brings upgrades for Gemini, Gboard, and more to your Pixel Google Search gets a new AI Mode built on a bespoke Gemini 2.0 version Live video and screen-sharing are coming to Gemini Live this month 41:39 | MWC and other things 8 best gadgets of MWC 2025: Our pick of the top phones, tablets, and more Samsung Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 are here with a good surprise for US fans Tecno shows Samsung and Apple how to do slim phones right Nothing's Phone 3a series is here to reimagine what sub-$500 Android phones can deliver YouTube Premium Lite is bringing cheaper ad-free videos to the US, but there's a catch Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg .

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 intrigue from the world of agent 007. 03:15 | The Big E The iPhone 16e proves Apple can't keep up with Android phones on a budget 26:52 | Giving Up Amazon MGM takes creative reins of James Bond, ending an era of family control of 007 | AP News Amazon MGM Studios Shelled Out An Extra $1 Billion-Plus To Take Control Of James Bond: What’s Next For The Franchise HP buys Humane, AI Pins are shutting down Amazon to shut down its Android app store later this year 47:07 | Can't Touch This Oppo Find N5 is official, too bad you probably can't (or shouldn't) buy it The OnePlus Watch 3 has a typo that software updates can't fix I’m getting pretty tired of the way my Pixel photos look Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg .

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 | Old business Nothing is ready to join the big leagues with its first flagship phone Nothing wants $100 million in funding to fuel its growth Sonos continues to struggle, now cutting an additional 200 positions Apple TV+ app officially lands on Android phones, tablets, and foldables 17:24 | Obligatory I/O Google sets a date for I/O 2025 after puzzle game teaser 5 Pixel 9a rumors that'll get you excited about Google’s next midranger Leaked renders show the Pixel 9a in four colors from all angles Gemini Live is about to become even more fun to use Google makes Gemini's 2.0 Flash model the new default Google Gemini's free tier gets a feature ChatGPT has had for months 34:51 | Back End Motorola Razr+ (2025) smiles for the cameras in an extensive leak The OnePlus Watch 3 is coming sooner than you might think Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: A straight-B student Gadgets & Gravel - YouTube Excerpts from @Equality_7_2521 on X/Twitter and Gadgets & Gravel on YouTube.

Is Pixel a house of Pebbles? 44:59

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 (and the Pixel 9a's development), the Galaxy S25's inability to even inspire the eye with its pallid colors, and DeepSeek's wade into the global waters of political economics. It's a lot for a little. 00:47 | DeepSeek/Galaxy S25?

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?

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 Police podcast, a prelude to the Galaxy S25 series, the prelude to the prelude of the best phone of the Galaxy S25 series (that may not actually be that great after all), an assessment of where the industry is, a newsflash about TikTok from Friday with some prescient calls on what happened through today, and just a lot of hype over what little Nintendo told us about the Switch 2. It's a good listen or a good watch if you look us up on YouTube.

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 this year as a solid Android device that isn't from Samsung or Google, doesn't have as much retail reach as the two of them, but delivers great value for money. 01:26 | CES 2025 Best of CES 2025: Android Police's awards for the world's biggest tech show Lenovo just announced three new Android tablets and two new gaming handhelds The Lenovo Legion Go S could finally get me into handheld gaming PCs TCL's latest smartphone might be the Boox Palma 2 rival you've been looking for The next generation of Google TVs will let you talk to Gemini without a remote The people behind NFC and Qi charging are cooking up a new standard for kitchens A major wireless charging pain point in cars will be fixed by Qi2 extension Android’s MagSafe moment has finally arrived 26:10 | OP13 Review: The OnePlus 13 is good enough to make you say goodbye to Samsung Review: The OnePlus 13R will make you forget you’re using a sub-$600 phone I think I like the OnePlus 13R better... | YouTube The OnePlus 13 Paradox | YouTube 46:42 | Scatterings This Iron Man phone looks awesome, but there's one giant catch Sonos CEO resigns as 'courageous' app redesign fell flat CES 2025 predictions, most improved phone, OnePlus Open 2 leak, Poco X7 series details, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra cameras, and Apple iPhone 17 rumors with Will Sattelberg of Android Police – Mobile Tech Podcast 408 | World Podcasts Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg .

AP's Best of 2024: The iPhone 16 and... 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 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 soon Gemini 2.0: Five major changes you need to know Google proposes multiple changes to its strategy following antitrust ruling Does AR or VR interest you at all? Google's market share stays surprisingly high after hot Pixel 9 sales start Arm'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!

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 era Hey Gemini: Google's hotword gets a refresh in official teaser video Google wants Android XR to power your next VR headset and smart glasses Android XR software: Here are the VR games and AR apps coming to the new OS Google Gemini steals the show in live demo of Android XR and Project Moohan I'm amazed Samsung's XR glasses shifted to such a different focus than originally implied This 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 18 Vision Models: How AI understands and interprets visual media Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg .

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.

Be Thankful This Isn't About Oppo v. Apple 40:09

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 be The Pixel Tablet 2 may be cancelled, but we'll somehow still get a Pixel Tablet 3 The Pixel Tablet 2's reported cancelation proves Google's lack of commitment ChromeOS may eventually be replaced by Android 26:31 | Dueling Reviews I love the iPhone 16 Pro, but Apple's cameras are aging next to Android Apple iPhone 16 Pro review: Apple's best, but no better than Android iPhone 16 Pro Max review: More Android than ever, for better and for worse Android already has its first Camera Control clone Oppo's Find X8 Pro packs dual periscopes, a haptic shutter button, and oodles of AI This is my favorite photo snapped with the Oppo Find X8 Pro Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg .

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 window The first Android 16 developer preview just landed: Here’s what you need to know Android 16 will make the Photo Picker feel more integrated in apps Health Connect is adding support for medical records in Android 16 Android 16 might let Gemini order food for you Notification overload to meet its match in Android 16 The 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 monopoly A ChatGPT-powered browser could soon gun for Chrome's supremacy Arc Search for Android is now available for all The EU's new default browser rules work; here's what it means for the US Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg .
