Joshua Vergara loves the word "penultimate," he just doesn't like what it means for the show. Jonathan Feist, Joe Hindy, David Imel and Adam Molina join in to chat technology on this penultimate episode, #114 of the Android Authority Podcast. We start with a fun discussion on our wallpapers of choice, followed by discussing what HTC needs to do to survive, then we finish off by suggesting that $1000 is, or is not, too much for the upcoming Note 8.

With Jonathan Feist out with car troubles, the rest of the gang gets together to talk about the OnePlus 5 that was just reviewed and covered extensively at Android Authority. There is plenty to say about the company's latest phone that comes with a dual camera - speaking of dual cameras, we also talk about the impending LG V30 which should be the flagship announcement for this year's IFA in Berlin.
Thank you all so much for listening to the podcast for these past couple of years, and we hope that you'll be there with us when we hang up our mics the only way we know how - by discussing (and sometimes ranting about) topics in Android as we have every single week.

Jonathan Feist, Joe Hindy, David Imel and Adam Molina get together to chat technology in episode 112 of the Android Authority Podcast. Josh is off to New York for his birthday - Happy Birthday! Back at home we're chatting E3, with all the great video games coming soon, particularly in VR, we're talking OnePlus 5, failings of major phone manufacturers, Pixel phone stats and features and we ask how many hours per day we use our devices. A major topic on the week, Amazon purchased Whole Foods, what could that mean for the massive online retailer?!?

Joshua Vergara, Jonathan Feist, Joe Hindy and David Imel get together early Sunday morning to chat technology in episode 111 of the Android Authority Podcast. We talk about tech in general, but two main topics guide the show, the HTC U 11 and smart assistants. Apple has a pod now, Amazon's Alexa continues to shine, but Google Home is catching up. The debate turns to software vs experience vs hardware, all the while considering practicality of it all based on current capabilities and limitations.
Warning, we use all of the Personal Assistant trigger words, many times. If "OK, Google", "Alexa", "Echo" or "Computer" are your hotwords, consider using headphones for this show.

"THANK YOU!"
Jonathan Feist, Joe Hindy, David Imel and Adam Molina get together to chat technology in episode 110 of the Android Authority Podcast. Andy Rubin has a new project on the go, called the Essential Phone, we may have, essentially, over-used that pun. Next up is new devices from LG, including the V30 and G6 Pro, followed by a look at the DJI Goggles and a poll on our site, how old is your phone?

Joshua Vergara, Joe Hindy, Jonathan Feist and David Imel get together to chat phones, watches and drones in episode 109 of the Android Authority Podcast. We share some final thoughts on Google I/O, but mostly we're talking Android O, which, actually, is little more than an emoji conversation. It's okay David, you'll survive the blobs. DJI has announced a small new drone, the DJI Spark threatens to be the drone that puts drones in mainstream. Wearables rear their head again, we've all used a smart watch and/or a fitness band, but none of them have really stuck, what comes next? Finally, the HTC U11 makes an appearance, talking Edge Sense and more.

Joshua Vergara is in San Francisco for Google I/O 2017. Taking a couple days to let it all sink in, Kris Carlon, Nirave Gondhia, David Imel and Edgar Cervantes join together to chat about the event. Google I/O provided plenty of value to developers, introducing many great new tools that we'll see in products moving forward. Android O was a minor topic directly, but will be the version of the OS that gets all the best in the coming months. Google Photos got a few clever and intuitive (hopefully) additions and Google Assistant got a significant rollout... to iOS.

Google I/O is only days away, so we chat about that for a moment, we ask if you root your phone, because we don't anymore. LG has made a leap in the market, the HTC 10 goes under the microscope again and we generally chat about life and technology.
