The Vertical App Drawer on One UI 7
Explicit content warning
12/08/24 • 63 min
Another Pixel-packed update to Android makes a bigger splash than we would've thought this time of year and the Android Police podcast is all over it. Also on this program, we see Samsung fall firmly into Apple's line when it comes to many of the design choices it made for the big One UI 7 update. And who would've thought that the PlayStation Portal would've been an item to celebrate? Funny how it goes sometimes when the PS5 Pro is, truly, such a punching bag. That and more this week.
01:04 | QPR does not stand for Quarter Pounder
- Google's December Pixel Feature Drop is all about Pixel 9
- All the features Google didn't tell you about in Android 15's first quarterly release
- Pixel Screenshots escapes its app in massive new Pixel Drop update
- Android's new feature bundle brings captions that actually show emotions
- Google breathes new life into old Pixels with two more years of OS upgrades
- The canceled Pixel Tablet 2 suggests Google learned all the wrong lessons
43:52 | Samsung Bashing
- Samsung's long-awaited One UI 7 beta is here to end 2024 on a high note
- Samsung's One UI 7 finally embraces the vertical app drawer
- Samsung's new app drawer has one big, ugly thing wrong with it

Be Thankful This Isn't About Oppo v. Apple
Global phone nerds find it frustrating when they have to act thankful for all the choice they have when, in fact, market segmentation and fragmentation makes it nigh on impossible to enjoy all the bounty we've got. It's why an Oppo Find X8 Pro vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max comparison is impractical for us to produce — the audience cannot exist for such a thing. But we here at the Android Police podcast are thankful you're with us as Americans wrap up a holiday of gathering, feasting, and buying.
This time around, we'll be chatting about how Google just can't get an Android tablet right, how the company might screw up its path forward on tablets, and, hey, why not throw an Android-based laptop in there? We'll also dive into some quick reviews of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Oppo Find X8 Pro.
04:33 | How the Tablet Turns
- The Google Pixel Tablet 2 isn't out yet, and it looks like the Pixel Tablet 3 might never be
- The Pixel Tablet 2 may be cancelled, but we'll somehow still get a Pixel Tablet 3
- The Pixel Tablet 2's reported cancelation proves Google's lack of commitment
- ChromeOS may eventually be replaced by Android
26:31 | Dueling Reviews
- I love the iPhone 16 Pro, but Apple's cameras are aging next to Android
- Apple iPhone 16 Pro review: Apple's best, but no better than Android
- iPhone 16 Pro Max review: More Android than ever, for better and for worse
- Android already has its first Camera Control clone
- Oppo's Find X8 Pro packs dual periscopes, a haptic shutter button, and oodles of AI
- This is my favorite photo snapped with the Oppo Find X8 Pro
