The Oscars of Android are here! Help us celebrate the best of 2025 by casting your vote.
We are kicking off a brand-new annual tradition here at the Android Faithful podcast: the Annual Podcast Kudos, or, as we affectionately refer to them around here, the APKs! Yes, it's a play on the Android package, and it's meant as a tribute to something that may someday be but a relic of Android users' past.
When you think about it, that's kind of like the Academy Awards. And you know that Ron and I are freaks about the pageantry, which is why we're even hosting an awards show in the first place. But an awards show is nothing without its voters (which is exactly why I don't watch the Golden Globes anymore, because I don't care what the Hollywood Foreign Press thinks, quite frankly). We need your help to make this inaugural annual tradition a possibility. We need you to vote!
Forget the reviewer scores for a moment; this is about the devices you used this year, the stories that grabbed your attention, and the hardware that makes you say, "I'm happy to be a Green Bubble." Your hosts—the five of us—have curated a list of finalists across six categories, representing the devices, headlines, and events that made this the year in Android.
I need you to click on this link right here that is highlighted to vote for the following:
Right here is where you can cast your ballot for the APKs! Voting is open until December 22, 11:59 P.M. EST. We'll host The APKs on our last show of the year, December 23. We can't wait to tally up your votes and see who you crown the winners!
