Android Police

There's never a bad time to buy a new smartphone — your old phone may be broken, or maybe you're just looking to upgrade. That's why, here at Android Police, we review dozens of phones each year. Based on their performance, we list the best Android phones so it's easier for you to decide if you're interested in buying a foldable smartphone, the phone with the best camera, a mid-range phone, or a budget option.

Shopping for a new smartphone? Wait a couple weeks

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. We give early impressions. Plus, rundowns on Google and Samsung having their summer events way too early. And a shout-out to Hamilton, Ontario. Congratulations, you're not Windsor.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

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. It lets you take notes with a widget or in no more than three taps, and it syncs across the web, smartphones, large-screen tablets, and just about anything else that can run a browser.

Google Keep's strength lies in its simplicity

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. Meanwhile, Samsung's getting ready for its next big hardware event, but the leakers are getting ready for the one after that.

If you're paying more than $100 to upgrade to the ol' lock-and-key for your front door, your lock needs to be smart. Extending how this transaction takes place is one thing — allowing you to open your door using an app, a keypad, or a fingerprint, for example. But if that's all you can do, you don't really have much of a smart lock on your hands. And that's the biggest issue with Proscenic's Smart Lock L60: It's slightly more convenient than a key, but that's about it.
