Android Police

• An Earned Skepticism of Google I/O

  This is the final edition of the Android Police podcast as you know it, so instead of any bang or petering out, we're opening up a black hole of everything that this show has been to us and giving Google I/O 2025 our full treatment. From Gemini Pro 2.5's various commercial twists to all the wacky new tools that don't seem to have an integral purpose for most life and labor styles to the footnote that is Android to round out another keynote of industry jonesing, we have a complete picture for you right here.

• Android enters its 'Emo' phase

  This week on the Android Police podcast, Android 16 gets all 'Expressive' on us with a new step in its Material Design language and we wonder what all the rest of Google's announcements during The Android Show will come to eat us alive. That plus another Uber usurpation, we talk about phones that sound like knives, and a Very Important Announcement from your friends on this show.01:56 | The Android Show4 takeaways from Google's pre-I/O Android ShowGoogle's flashy Material 3 Expressive is official, but it's not coming right awayAndroid 16 goes official next month, but a new beta will bring Expressive design even soonerMaterial 3 Expressive will finally bring dynamic themes to Wear OS later this yearGemini is coming to Android Auto later this year, with shorter responses in towMaterial 3 Expressive is getting me excited about Android updates again26:46 | Knife-fonesSamsung's Galaxy S25 Edge is here, but is it the pocket-friendly phone you've been waiting for?Jules you should cut this audio in (no)Of all the phones I've handled in 2025, the Galaxy S25 Edge is ... certainly one of them.(1) Samsung Mobile on X: "Beyond slim may surprise, but power comes in all shapes 💪 #GalaxyS25 Edge" / XThe Motorola Razr 2025 proves folding phones are no longer a gimmick48:50 | UberUber’s new bus-like feature for commuters is nearly 50 percent cheaper than UberX | The VergeAlso:Apple CarPlay Ultra Is A Whole New Way To Use Your Car | EdmundsRampant AI Cheating Is Ruining Education Alarmingly Fast | New York MagazineCollege Professors Are Using ChatGPT.

• Android 16 is inspired by the stuff Google left behind

  This week's Android Police podcast raps Google's wrists for pulling the pall over Android app downloaders and their desires to grab an APK from a third-party source. We preview the look of Android 16 and also how it might NOT look like what's been discovered. All that, plus your usual dose of AI skepticism, quasi-Luddite propagandizing, and a return to Hayao Miyazaki.04:36 | TrapsDownload apps.

• 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.
