In the first ever episode of the Authority Insights Podcast, Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown discuss why Samsung killing the Galaxy S26 and S26+ might be a good thing, how Google has its work cut out for it if it wants Android on PCs to succeed, and why the next Pixel using AI to read your screen isn’t as scary as it seems. Mishaal worries that Samsung might institute a price hike next year, while CSB is skeptical that Google can pull him away from his Windows PC. And both are tired of hearing about AI, AI, and more AI - just ignore the fact that Mishaal’s wearing a Gemini T-shirt this episode.The Authority Insights Podcast is a new weekly show from the Android Authority team hosted by Mishaal Rahman and C.
