Google's next feature could make Wear OS more like the Spy Kids watch you always wanted

1 week ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

Google might be adding a new method to activate Assisant (and eventually Gemini) on Wear OS. "Raise to Talk" could let you activate your voice assistant just by raising your watch to your mouth, no wake word required. It could work similarly to the Apple Watch's "Raise to Speak" feature introduced in 2018. It's a pretty good time to be a Wear OS fan.
Samsung's Good Lock lands on the Play Store, just in time for One UI 7's latest delay

1 week ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

Good Lock is now on the Play Store, making it easier for Samsung users to customize their software without needing the Galaxy Store. Good Lock offers various modules to customize Galaxy devices, but for the Play Store version, you'll need One UI 7. Samsung paused its One UI 7 rollout today to fix some unexpected bugs. If you're rocking a Samsung phone, there's a good chance it's one of the company's exclusive features or tools that have kept a Pixel out of your pocket.
Weekend poll: Do you actually care about slimmer smartphones?

1 week ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

It's a weird time for the smartphone industry. After reaching "peak smartphone" in the tail end of last decade — when the vast majority of devices evolved from emerging, exciting gadgets into reliable appliances — we've watched as brand after brand has attempted to find the one thing that could convince users to upgrade.
The Pixel 9a's 0% price hike on the Android Police podcast

1 week ago | androidpolice.com | Jules Wang |Ben Schoon |Daniel Bader |Will Sattelberg

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?
The OnePlus Watch 3 is a good smartwatch with superb battery life

1 week ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

It's always fascinating to watch a company learn from its mistakes in real time. Four years ago, OnePlus attempted a half-hearted entry into the wearables market. The original OnePlus Watch had consistently strong battery life, but that was about all it had going for it — everything that made it a smartwatch was practically unusable.
Moto's next Razr launch is coming soon, but the rest of the world might get more

2 weeks ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

Motorola teases an April 24th event for 2025 Razr collection on social media. The teaser hints at a potential additional Razr model this year alongside the Razr+ and regular Razr. An alternate international teaser suggests the inclusion of the Moto Edge 60 Pro with a new design and features. Motorola can't seem to keep a lid on its still-unannounced next-gen Razrs, and now we know why.
The Pixel 9a is missing Google's latest Android 15 Feature Drop

2 weeks ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

It's taken a little longer than expected, but starting today, the Pixel 9a is officially for sale. While tariff fluctuation means the price could change at any minute — 90 day "pause" or no — Google's latest $500 phone is an exceptional deal right off the bat. Still, though, anyone choosing a budget phone over something more expensive is going to have to accept some trade-offs, and in the case of the Pixel 9a, those cuts come in the form of older software.
5 reasons the Pixel 9a is the Android phone to buy right now

2 weeks ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

It might have taken a slight delay to get here, but the Pixel 9a is finally available to order starting today. I'm still testing out the phone myself — look for AP's review early next week — but so far, I'm pretty impressed with what is obviously Google's best A-series entry to date. No matter how you feel about the camera bar-less design or some of its missing features, the Pixel 9a has left me pretty excited about Google's latest value proposition here.
Possible Pixel 10 pricing has leaked, but take it with a grain of salt

2 weeks ago | androidpolice.com | Will Sattelberg

Pixel 10 pricing rumors suggest a $100 hike for the base and Pro XL models, while the Pro Fold could drop in price, but these early leaks remain questionable. Long-term price predictions through 2028 (including a steady $500 price point for A-series phones) are speculative and complicated by tariffs and rising AI-related costs.
