Astro mode comes to older Pixel phones, Google Play Points and custom ringtones galore. Plus, we look at Fossil’s new hybrid smartwatch, Xiaomi’s 5-camera wonder, and…
Adam, Jonathan, and Joe talk mostly Moto RAZR, Motorola’s folding phone and it’s pretty awesome. We also geek out over retro mode on the phone.
