Welcome to episode 88 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Ben Schoon joins Damien and Will to speak by way of the announcement — and subsequent unannouncement — of Android 17. The group talks by way of how and why this launch fell aside earlier than discussing precisely what expectations all of us ought to have for Android updates in 2026. Then they flip to Samsung, which simply confirmed an Unpacked announcement for late February for a collection of telephones that has us scratching our heads in relation to huge year-over-year enhancements.
This episode was recorded previous to Android 17’s eventual launch on Friday afternoon.
