In Defense of Android

Android Police

Yes, we've seen your comments about how we at the Android Police podcast can get so down on the topic our site is all about, but hey: you'd be distressed about the ecosystem, too, if you had the numbers we're looking at and not much corporate steering power in the backseat. So, on this episode, we chat about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the refinement of the Pixel Fold 2, and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. And maybe we'll be a little sad, then hopeful about Android while we're at it.
