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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
