An Android 17 Summer

Welcome to episode 105 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will return to talk all through the launch of Android 17. From general improvements to Pixel-specific changes, there's plenty to dig through. Plus, Pixel Screenshots goes cloud, Google's new smart speaker goes up for pre-order, and it might be easier than ever to jump back and forth between Android and iOS.
