Android Police

Will, Manuel, and, for the first time, our editor-in-chief James gather for a debrief round robin after a week of MWC 2023 coverage. From spotting Carl Pei at the Unihertz booth to destroying Motorola's rollable phone concept with facts and logic(?), the team's got a lot to talk about. Too bad our expensive audio recorder doesn't like our expensive SD cards. Or that we didn't have a Mini-USB cable. Despite all of that, we hope you enjoy this episode of the Android Police podcast! * OnePlus 11 Concept hands-on: This mobile cooling tech isn’t for sale [https://www.androidpolice.com/oneplus-11-concept-hands-on/] * OnePlus's folding phone is official, and it launches this year [https://www.androidpolice.com/onepluss-foldable-phone-is-coming-this-year/] * Motorola Rizr rollable concept hands-on: Simultaneously cool and dumb [https://www.androidpolice.com/motorola-rizr-rollable-concept-hands-on/] * The Nokia G22 is taking Fairphone head on [https://www.androidpolice.com/nokia-g22-taking-fairphone-head-on/] * Luna - Embrace the Light in Your Life (unihertz.com) [https://www.unihertz.com/pages/luna] * Nothing Phone 2 will be powered by a top-end Qualcomm chipset [https://www.androidpolice.com/nothing-phone-2-mwc-announcement/] * Honor Magic Vs review: You win some, you lose some [https://www.androidpolice.com/honor-magic-vs-review/] * Xiaomi 13 Pro hands-on: Xiaomi is growing up [https://www.androidpolice.com/xiaomi-13-pro-hands-on/] * The Tecno Phantom V Fold undercuts the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 by hundreds [https://www.androidpolice.com/tecno-phantom-v-fold-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-4-competitor/] * Realme brings 10-minute ultra-fast charging outside of China with the GT3 [https://www.androidpolice.com/realme-gt3-international-release-240-watt-charging/] * MWC 2023 | Android Police [https://www.androidpolice.com/tag/mwc-2023/] Find the team on Twitter - @journeydan [https://twitter.com/journeydan] @AraWagco [https://twitter.com/arawagco] @Will_Sattelberg [https://twitter.com/will_sattelberg] @PointJules [https://twitter.com/pointjules] Reach out to us - podcast@androidpolice.com [podcast@androidpolice.com] Music - "18 [https://home96.bandcamp.com/track/18]" and "34 [https://home96.bandcamp.com/track/34]" by HOME [https://home96.bandcamp.com/] licensed under CC BY 3.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/]

Our Zachary Kew-Denniss [https://twitter.com/shutupzac96] joins the Android Police podcast this week to express all the things that have finally gone right for him in the world. By that, we mean getting a Galaxy flagship phone that doesn't have an Exynos chip in it. Plus, more chat about YouTube Premium, Android Auto, and the uncanny valley of Spotify's AI DJs all in this episode! 01:44 | The Curse of Exynos * Will the Galaxy S23 series mark an end to Exynos?

Is this a hot take? We don't really think so. For all the changes, the abacus flicks, the eraser shavings that have been spent on moving from Galaxy S22 to S23, Samsung has failed to change some of the fundamental flaws it has carried for years on end. We discuss that issue plus we find the joys and discomforts of the Oppo Find N2 Flip, find our feelings for the milquetoast OnePlus 11, and — first and foremost — laugh at the simulated pain and suffering that artificial intelligence has wrought on itself thanks to Google and Microsoft on this edition of the Android Police podcast. 0:49 | Bing v.

It's a full house on the Android Police podcast this week as our Manuel Vonau fills in for the vacationing Daniel, friend of the show Mishaal Rahman joins us to break down Android 14's first developer preview, Google breaks down trying to explain what its AI applications do, and Will tries not to break himself cramming in some thoughts on the Galaxy S23 Ultra and OnePlus 11.

Iterative may be boring. But will the small details matter enough to get people talking and buying a new Galaxy S phone this year? With Unpacked out of the way, we're talking with XDA TV's Alex Dobie (who's had a lot of chat time with Daniel and Ara) about whether Samsung has made its case for an upgrade to the people it needs to convince. Get ready for a full 44 minutes of Galaxy S23 discussion! Apologies for Ara's audio for most of the episode — the RAM suck that is Chrome affected her file, but that's fixed in the last 8 minutes of the show. * The Galaxy S23 series is officially unpacked — here's everything you need to know [https://www.androidpolice.com/samsung-galaxy-s23-ultra-series-announcement/] * Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ hands-on: To boldly go where it went before [https://www.androidpolice.com/samsung-galaxy-s23-and-galaxy-s23-hands-on/] * Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra hands-on: Incremental changes have never been more appealing [https://www.androidpolice.com/samsung-galaxy-s23-ultra-hands-on/] * Which size Samsung Galaxy S23 should you buy?
