Android Police

• 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.

• This isn't Android's MagSafe moment

  Rumors of the OnePlus 13T once again revive the on-again-off-again thread of so-called "compact" phones in our industry. Our favorite clamshell foldable phone might be due for a price hike this year. And was 5G a lie all this time? Definitely not, but it certainly hasn't made miracles like it was supposed to. This week on the Android Police podcast, we're bringing everything from the corners of Android, cellular networks, and a whole lot of Nintendo into the fold.04:47 | GadgetryPoco’s F7 Ultra is a midrange phone with a flagship chip | The VergeThe OnePlus 13T 'mini' could show up next month with a screen size you'll actually likeOnePlus launches a slim MagSafe battery bank that you're going to be amped aboutAndroid’s MagSafe moment has finally arrivedLatest Moto Razr+ (2025) leak has some bad news for your walletLATE BREAKING: Google's Pixel 9a has a new launch date, and it's right around the corner25:47 | 5GYou're Being Lied To About 5G | Truth Complex | Business InsiderOokla studies now claim that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all have the best 5G networkDon't chirp now, but Boost Mobile's NYC network just beat the Big 3 carriersThis network is much faster than 5G, but you might need a new phone to take advantageT-Mobile’s biggest competition is the MVNOs that use its 5G networkThe newest MVNO on the scene deals in trendy area codes and vanity phone numbers40:03 | NintendoNintendo's new Android app is here to keep you up to speed on Switch 2 newsNintendo Just Changed How to Share Switch Games With Your Family - CrossplayExcerpt from Channel 4/ITV Studios via lukderyck (YouTube).Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and

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

  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 working on his triceps with Beeper, Eric Migicovsky returns to his Core with new (old) PebbleOS watches and we track the rising price of Plex, though we oddly have some nicer feelings about it than with other streaming services right now.0:56 | A little AI InsideGoogle Assistant is losing more features ahead of retirementLike it or not, Gemini is officially replacing Google Assistant this yearThe gap between Google's Gemini and Assistant teams just got a whole lot widerApple Vision Pro Chief Mike Rockwell Named Siri Head; Giannandrea Keeps AI Role - Bloomberg9:13 | Pixel 9aGoogle's Pixel 9a is here to show Apple how value smartphones are doneThe Google Pixel 9a's Tensor chip may be new, but its modem isn'tA First Look at How Apple’s C1 Modem Performs With Early Adopters | Ookla®Google Pixel 9a's Gemini experience isn't as powerful as its siblingsThe Google Pixel 9a is already more affordable at Best BuyThe Pixel 9a is Google's largest launch yet, but some regions are left outGoogle just blamed the Pixel 9a's delayed street date on a 'quality issue'30:48 | Pebble/CoreTwo new PebbleOS watches are coming this year, but you'll have to act fastHTC Came Down from Android Heaven to Sell Boring Phones | How-to Geek49:38 | PlexPlex is cracking down on its version of password sharing, and it's...

• Somebody Save Google... and Apple, too

  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 hasn't caused an uproar with you, you'll want to brace for an AI takeover in Google Search — not that it hasn't already begun. All that plus a touch of Sonos trashing and some positive notes about the Pixel 10 series on the show!03:21 | MoshpitAndroid 16 hits a major milestone with the release of Beta 3Android 16 could get one of Apple Intelligence's worst featuresGoogle could give Android 16's Settings sub-menus a card-style redesignGoogle's new split Quick Settings menu shown off in Android 16 hands-on videoGoogle's dormant desktop mode gets a big boost on Android 16 Beta 3Daring Fireball: Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino46:27 | Some Good NewsYour first look at Google's Pixel 10 trio reveals some pretty familiar smartphonesThe Pixel 10's rumored telephoto sensor has left me stumpedGoogle is getting serious about gaming on PC and Android1:07:27 | Sonos hits eject on its video player plansExcerpt from Sony Pictures Releasing.Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.
