9to5Google is a news site covering Google and Android, part of the 9to5 network that Seth Weintraub started with 9to5Mac in 2007. It reports on Search, Android and Chrome as well as Pixel and Nest hardware, and its front page carries breaking news on Pixel phones, Android releases, Google apps, Google Home and Chromebooks. The site aims to deliver news in a digestible format with commentary and a deep understanding of the subject. Articles are free to read and appear many times a day. A useful feed for Android developers who want to follow platform updates, Pixel releases and changes to Google's apps and services as they happen.
Android Weekly is a free newsletter on Android and Kotlin development that comes out once a week.

The Android Developers Blog is Google's official blog with the latest Android and Google Play news for app and game developers. Posts are written by Google product managers and developer relations engineers and are grouped under topics such as Platform, Android Studio, Google Play, Jetpack and Kotlin. Recent posts announce support for using any AI agent in Android Studio, device streaming and Android skills in the Android CLI, and a case study of how Instagram Direct engineers built their UI architecture with Jetpack Compose. It is the primary source for Android developers who need to track platform and tooling changes.
XDA Developers is one of the world’s largest and longest-running mobile-focused communities, founded in 2002. Originally built around Windows Mobile, it later became a hub for Android customization and development—hosting forums, news, reviews, and guides for everything from custom ROMs and rooting to emerging tech like AI. Over the decades, it has cultivated millions of developers and enthusiasts who share projects, troubleshoot device-level tweaks, and collaboratively push the boundaries of mobile software. Valnet now owns it, and it blends editorial content with a vibrant forum-based community.
