Android Police

Like any TV series that has stuck around for a season too long, the Android Police podcast is back with another freaking week of Pixel leaks, this time on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The long and short of it is that we're hoping it nails the landing, but wouldn't be surprised if it disappointed us when it launches with, say, a year-old version of Android. Also, our prospects on a folding iPhone and discourse on an ABC primetime show from the year 200-something as brought on by Android Police editor-in-chief and natural wellspring purveyor James Peckham.02:42 | 9 LivesYour wait for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold might stretch until SeptemberThe Pixel 9 Pro Fold might offer more bang for your buck with bigger and better displaysGoogle Pixel 9 Pro Fold looks to be heavy, but there's a reason whyThe Pixel 9's Tensor G4 might be the least interesting thing about Google's new phonesGoogle's Pixel 9 series may launch with Android 14, not 15This Pixel Watch 3 marketing material leak is a treasure trove of details30:19 | The iPhone SegmentApple Moves Forward With Foldable iPhone — The InformationFoldable iPad tipped to drop in 2026 with the foldable iPhone | Tom's Guide37:00 | Apex Legends?The OnePlus Open looks 🔥in this sleek new red colorSamsung Galaxy Ring review: Health first, fitness secondGalaxy Z Fold 6 durability test gives us Note 7 flashbacksNothing Phone 2a Plus debuts with a brand-new chip and shiny colorwaysGoogle's so happy Apple added RCS support that it basically made an iOS adOur regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Samsung is playing a game of inches and it may not be worth the patience it's putting into it.

Ahead of the Galaxy Z Fold6 debut this coming week, the Android Police podcast is trawling through our archives for a look back at the device series as a whole. Specifically, our former iteration of the show was able to grab onto the launch of the original Galaxy Fold and ride it all the way to its obfuscation into infamy with some broken glass and a lot of broken diodes. We also visit our reviews of the Fold4 and Fold5 in our current rendition of the program.

Motorola unveils new Razrs with improved fit and finish. Google surprises with a Pixel 9 event in August. Discussions on Android updates, tech events, and Google trackers. Comparisons between Moto Z and Razer phones. Deliberations on future movie choices and VHS nostalgia.

Before we slip into something comfy for Hot Phone Summer, on this Android Police podcast, we rinse ourselves with some rumor upkeep on the Pixel 10 (of all things), the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6, and even this year's Moto Razr. We engage in a sort of food fight with the Emoji Kitchen as our battleground and generative AI as the weapons. And we talk about legislatures moving to ban kids from using smartphones in school. There's also a little "State of the Show" address at the end, if you're interested in the meta.04:57 | The Fun StuffGoogle wants to help you cool down your overheating PixelGoogle's Pixel 10 processor will follow in the iPhone's footsteps in one important wayLeaked Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 dummies reveal persistent crease woesLeak confirms Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will adopt an AirPods Pro-like designGoogle's answer to Apple's Genmoji spotted in development for the Pixel 9Leak details Motorola's Razr+ 2024 will pack some big upgrades34:23 | The Head ScratchersNew York passes law aimed at protecting kids and teens from doomscrollingCalifornia’s governor is trying to crack down on smartphones in schools - The VergeUS surgeon general wants tobacco-like warning labels on social media - The VergeForbes letter threatens legal action against Perplexity AI over copyrightPerplexity Is a Bullshit Machine | WIREDUS sues Adobe after it 'trapped customers' with misleading Photoshop plans57:11 | Thoughts?Excerpt from WROC-TV/Nexstar (via Studio 31 Media Archive/YouTube).Our regular hosts are Daniel Bader and Will Sattelberg.

Chocolate, as we know it, is bad for us. No, not even the fancy high-cocoa dark stuff. But on this Android Police podcast, our conversation melts into how Google drives the misleading myths promoting it as a health food, pretty much. This episode synopsis also includes the OnePlus 13, HP TouchPad, and Zendaya. Look, you've made it this far, just listen to the darn thing.
