The Droid Life Show

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we're taking a look at the latest in Galaxy Note 9 rumors, as well as Samsung's upcoming Tab S4 tablet and new Galaxy Watch. From there, we want to see how Android P Developer Preview 4 is holding up, share some thoughts on Mobvoi's new TicWatch Pro, and why Tim is still so in love with the OnePlus 6. We'll also likely dive into some final thoughts on the Moto Z3 Play, which phones T-Mobile has activated RCS Universal Profile on, and what you can expect from Amazon Prime Day. We have trivia this week with Google Play credit up for grabs! We'll be live at 1:00PM Pacific (4:00PM Eastern).

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we're recapping the last two weeks in Android. During that span, we got dates on announcements of the Galaxy Note 9 and something new from Motorola, as well as our best looks yet at the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. In addition to those bits of news, we want to talk a bit about the radically designed Oppo Find X, OnePlus' new update schedule, Google Home's best new feature, and ask why in the hell you guys are still into physical keyboards. We also have trivia this week and it's sponsored by Meater, a smart meat thermometer that Tim reviewed recently and truly is a fan of. (https://meater.com/)

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we're recapping one of the slowest weeks in Android history. That could mean a short show, but it'll still include our HTC U12+ review, impressions of the Xperia XZ2, and the latest on the Galaxy Note 9. We'll also react to the supposed price of Samsung's upcoming foldable phone, Verizon's new unlimited plan, and Vivo's release of their all-display NEX phone. No trivia this week - we're keeping it short.

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, you know we've got to talk a lot about the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL from Google. No, neither have been announced, but a prototype Pixel 3 XL is in the wild, we've got codename sightings, and we want to talk about it all. We also want to talk about the Galaxy Note 9 and our initial reaction to renders of it, as well as all of the new phones that just dropped, like the Moto Z3 Play, Blackberry Key2, and ASUS ROG phone. Oh yeah, Android P Beta 2 showed up this week as well. Trivia will go down at the end of the show. We've got Toast wood covers for winners!

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we're back to talk about this week's big phone announcement of the HTC U12+. Does it stand a chance? How good is it? Should you buy one? We'll tackle all of that after spending some time with the phone earlier in the week. After that, we want to talk about the future of Essential after they reportedly canceled their second phone, what's going on with YouTube Music, whether or not Samsung can save Wear OS, and any other new thoughts we have on the G7 and OnePlus 6 before our reviews drop. Trivia is back as well, so if you catch us live, be sure to stick around until the end of the show for a chance to win fabulous prizes.

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we're back to (finally) recap Google I/O, the latest in Android P and the Android P Beta, the new Google News experience, what's coming later this year to Wear OS, and more from Google's big developer conference. But that's not all! We need to talk OnePlus 6 now that it has been announced, Tim's thoughts on the G7 ThinQ after spending a couple of weeks with it, what we are expecting from the HTC U12+ next week, and what to make of YouTube Music and YouTube Premium. It's going to be a lengthy show, so unfortunately, that means no trivia this week. Apologies for that. It will return with our next show, though!

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we're looking back at a pretty wild week that kicked off with T-Mobile and Sprint announcing that they are merging before switching to an official announcement of the LG G7 ThinQ. Now that the merger and phone are official, you can imagine that we have some thoughts. After that, it's on to Google I/O, since that kicks off next week. What will we see? What do we want to see? Will there be hardware? You get the idea. If we have time, we'll talk HTC U12+ and OnePlus 6 launches, Pocket Casts acquisition, and more. Trivia is also back! Belkin has offered up some prizes for those of you in need of a super fast USB-C charger.

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we want to talk more about the Galaxy S9 and S9+ now that they are readily available at your local wireless shop.

We'll also just share any other fun stories from this year's show!

On this final Droid Life Show of 2017, we're running through another great year in Android. This may not be a day-by-day recap, but we'd love to talk about the big stories that stood out, preview CES a bit more, and even attempt to make a couple of 2018 predictions. If that sounds like a good time, be on the lookout for topics like our discussion over Android phone of the year,  Google and its major focus on hardware, Essential swinging and missing pretty massively, how Samsung still managed to dominate after the Note 7 recall, and of course, the Droid Life redesign. We'll touch on it all!
