To say that the rollout of Android’s Find My Device network has been choppy would be putting it lightly. That being said, the network itself is still in its infancy, and it is something Android users have wanted for years. Given its potential, manufacturers have begun creating Find My Device products to work with the network as it evolves. The Pebblebee tags are examples of these products, and they have quietly debuted in the Google Store.

Google Keep might not be the flashiest note-taking app ever created, but it gets the job done with its basic functionality and layout options.

Google Keep's strength lies in its simplicity

Major international outages are affecting Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile roaming data plans. The root cause is unclear, possibly related to carrier transitions from 2G/3G to 4G/5G. Carriers are working on fixes, but it's recommended to use Wi-Fi, VPNs, local SIM cards, or eSIMs as alternatives in the meantime. If you're...

Google sometimes seems like a frenzied manic operation hastily building utility after utility without much thought given to UI design or overlapping features, but the same company also gave us gems like the Material Design language introduced with Android 12. Its own apps are fine examples with ever-evolving UIs, and Google Tasks also comes to mind. The latest development in that app ditches the bottom bar to move some optiosn around.

Google Tasks is replacing its bottom bar with something better

A lot of people won't buy YouTube Premium out of spite for Google's anti-consumer practices around the product — whether that's bending over backwards to block ad blockers or putting features that used to be free behind a paywall. One thing the company hasn't really tried is increasing the value proposition for Premium, but that's something it's finally doing this week. We've also seen Google make a seismic shift in its hardware release schedule in the past seven days, leading us to believe the Pixel 9 is coming months sooner than we had expected.

There are few truly exciting features, and many more quality-of-life changes that make it a noticeable advancement over Android 14.

We're extremely proud of our focused and concise, but girthy(!) Android Police podcast this week. Motorola takes the stage with new Razrs that shine in the fit-and-finish department, but it's software and day-to-day performance that will always be the devilish details that follow.

T-Mobile’s massive 5G network makes it a good fit for many heavier users. But with high single-line prices and a smorgasbord of plans that seem mostly identical, it can be hard to find the best value. Luckily, T-Mobile also has a lot of discounts available for seniors, members of the military, and first responders.

When was the last time we had a four-inch smartphone? Our thumbs can't reach the top of our phones nowadays, and most developers are focused on ease of use.
