Android Authority Podcast

Adam, Jonathan, and Joe are joined by Chris Thomas, executive editor of SoundGuys.com. Google's reason for including a headphone jack in the Pixel 3a series doesn't sit well with any of them. It's a great thing for a bad reason. Samsung is fixing the Galaxy Fold and at the same time, Lenovo is showing off a new folding laptop/tablet combo. We look at how a 90htz screen affects battery life, and a nifty new midrange phone with a camera you'll flip for.

The Samsung Fold is in the wild, but so far, it hasn't gone well. But is that necessarily Samsung's fault? We're not so sure. Some of the issues were easily correctable. Others, not so much. Plus, Apple falls under Qualcomm's dominance, begging the question - is there a monopoly brewing in the land of 5G? Finally, Google and Amazon are besties again, and that's great for consumers!
