The OnePlus 7T Pro is official, along with its racing counterpart. Andy Rubin revealed a new smartphone-we-think from Essential that is roughly half a phone. Threads by Instagram allows you to connect to only your bestest buddies and Google is cracking down on how manufacturers use Android. And every topic asks the same question - why does this exist?

There used to be a really easy way to install Google Apps onto the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, but that service is no longer. A security researcher found an undocumented API call in the LZ Play service and suddenly everything went down. Meanwhile, Microsoft surprised basically everybody in the world by announcing an Android smartphone...coming in 2020, but still, Adam, Jonathan and Joe are excited! Join the conversation here on the Android Authority podcast!

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is one of the most gorgeous pieces of hardware to ever come out of the Chinese OEM, or any OEM for that matter. It has stunning hardware, a wonderful camera that works brilliantly in low light. But it's missing the one thing that every phone needs to succeed - the brains. No Google. No Google Play. No apps. No good. But is the phone great enough to stand up without the apps we all want so much? Ryan Thomas-Shaw joins Adam and Jonathan to talk about it.

Adam, Jonathan, and Joe reunite to discuss the latest flagship from Huawei. The Mate 30 Pro and family are all official, and pretty awesome. Except for one thing - Google didn't show up. Google services are not shipping with the devices, making them basically half-a-phone for anyone outside of China. Will that ultimately be a deal breaker? We discuss. Plus, we check in with Eric Zeman's Note 10 Plus camera review, and Google Fi's new unlimited plan. Plus a few more surprises along the way!
