We recorded a live podcast on December 27th, on our Android Authority YouTube channel, and took questions from the viewers, which tied in nicely with the news of the week.

We look at the Galaxy S9 and it's One UI/Android Pie update. We look at 2018, and how it set the stage for the year to come. The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are coming. All that plus a lot of great questions from those who chimed in. It was a casual end-of-year podcast.

And a bonus fun link we discussed on the show!
