The Sideload 010: The highs and lows of 2025 smartphones

Welcome to The Sideload episode 10, a NewGeekGuide podcast. This week, Will is joined by Steve Radochia, mobile author at Android Police and the creator behind his YouTube channel, StevealiciousTech. Together, Steve and Will break down the trends that defined 2025’s smartphones, from ultra-thin hardware to the state of foldables and, of course, the big debate surrounding Tensor G5. It’s an incredibly nerdy conversation, and one die-hard smartphone fans won’t want to miss.
