On this week’s episode, we wrap up our thoughts on the HTC One A9, and we try to put the Apple vs HTC arguments to rest. Android and Phandroid turn 8 years old, and Chris thinks that is “phat.” We also discuss the recent Nexus 6P bend tests, Facebook’s bogus video stats, garbage USB Type-C cables, robotic fingers, and much more. Enjoy!
