Android Police

• There is no second bite at the apple

  A dramatic new kink to the Epic v. Apple tale as the judge overseeing the case is forcing the iPhone-made giant to grant consumers access to alternate payment systems for in-app purchases. The Android Police podcast is covering the shake-up in the mobile app landscape and telescoping its insights on how hubris has poisoned outputs from cohorts of the so-called Magnificent Seven. Also in our show: Samsung's Galaxy S25 is selling way better than we can get excited for, a quasi-preview of The Android Show from Google, and our carpal tunnel suffering on various mobile keyboards.04:35 | In courtEpic v.

• The Deeply Frustrating Razr

  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 Switch 2 pre-order anxiety, and a thorough slugging of Motorola's three new Razr flip phones where only the most basic one seems like a worthy upgrade at all? We report, you decide.04:13 | Familiar, fashion, but....I went hands-on with Motorola’s three new Razrs, and they’re familiar, fashionable, and deeply frustratingMotorola’s latest Razr lineup has something for everyone, including a new Ultra flagshipGoogle's so thirsty for Gemini users it's paying Samsung substantial sums to pre-install the AIYour Samsung phone might soon get yet another new AI assistant39:10 | I/O 2025Google I/O 2025 lineup hints at bold new moves with Android, AI, and more43:45 | Where are the carriers?Verizon reaches a breaking point as nearly 300,000 customers cut ties with the carrierT-Mobile and Metro pinky swear not to jack up prices for 5 years with new plansComcast's customers are dropping like flies, just like Verizon'sUS Mobile’s newest plan reminds us of old-school Google FiVisible's newest plan pushes its old premium offering down by $10Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

• Is the Android fan tariff-fied?

  The future ahead of the Android buyer (and the Android Police podcast) is bleak. Lacking any certainty about how much a new phone will cost when it comes time to upgrade, we're asking you what you're doing in the face of tariffs on Chinese goods and whether your eyes have fallen away from the Galaxy S25 Edge, the upcoming Moto Razr refresh, or any of the releases plotted for the back half of the year. Also on the show, a full and fast review of the Pixel 9a and a new legal stumbling block for Google.03:23 | Wrapping upGoogle Pixel 9a review: A smartphone for the rest of usThe Pixel 9a is missing Google's latest Android 15 Feature DropGoogle will gradually reduce Pixel 9a battery capacity on purpose as it agesI love the Google Pixel 9a much more than I expected21:33 | MoneyUS announces tariff exemptions for phones, computers, and more goods from ChinaThe Galaxy S25 couldn't stop Apple from taking the top sales spotOnePlus believes foldables need more time to shineThe upcoming OnePlus 'mini' might look more Pixel Fold than OnePlus 13Possible Pixel 10 pricing has leaked, but take it with a grain of salt47:26 | Ad BattlesGoogle has an illegal grip on online advertising tech, court findsJapan slaps Google with a cease-and-desist order for violating anti-monopoly lawThere's now one URL to access Google no matter where you are in the worldOur regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

• The Pixel 9a's 0% price hike

  Tariffs, tariffs everywhere. On the Android Police podcast, 9to5Google's Ben Schoon joins Will to discuss who's paying how much for what: which Android manufacturers might be the most exposed in North America, how much more the OnePlus Watch 3 is costing new buyers today, and did Apple actually need to pack cargo planes full of Indian-made iPhones to beat the deadline that got delayed? Also on the show, we focus on the state of tech ecosystem lock-ins and pick our favorite flicks to play on the Vegas Sphere.03:18 | Money, money, moneyThe delayed OnePlus Watch 3 just launched in the US at the wrong priceMotorola teases new Razr foldables coming later this month, of course with AI | 9to5GoogleUS Tariffs on China Rise to at Least 145% | BloombergChina unlikely to blink first as Trump’s trade war enters uncharted new territory | China | The GuardianApple airlifts 600 tons of iPhones from India 'to beat' Trump tariffs, sources say | ReutersBeijing bites back at US tariffs by curbing Hollywood imports | ReutersWith the TikTok ban looming, here are all the companies interested in acquiring it20:04 | EcosystemsGoogle is making it harder to leave its ecosystem: Here's how you can regain controlApple lock-in is feeling stronger than ever5 things I learned from using this 'deGoogled' Pixel TabletLenovo Legion Tab Review: This is Android's iPad Mini37:26 | The MoviesGoogle's AI is bringing a classic film to life on the Vegas Sphere's massive screenOur regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

• We've Switched to Being a Nintendo Switch 2 Show

  It's about to get gladiatorial on the global trade front and while Android phones are going to be impacted bigly for sure, the star darling of the week in terms of consumer technology is, of course, Nintendo's Switch 2. This week on the Android Police podcast, we gush over the evolved handheld console with our video producer, Ryan-Thomas Shaw. Also on the docket: some Samsung rumors taking us to the Edge and a literal 'touch grass' moment courtesy of April Fools Day.02:09 | SamsungSamsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch could be closer than you thinkYour wait for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge just got longerHere's when Samsung's delayed Galaxy S25 Edge launch event could happen17:35 | Switch 2The Nintendo Switch 2 Is Finally Here, And It's $449.99It's official: Nvidia is making the Nintendo Switch 2's processor48:18 | DbrandDbrand's April Fools' gag is actually buyable and lets you touch grass anytimeOur regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.
