It's that time of the year, and we're gearing up for it here at Android Police. No, I'm not just talking about Thanksgiving, but the avalanche of discounts and sales associated with the post-Thanksgiving "Black Friday" commercial holiday. For many deals, you don't even have to wait, as plenty of retailers have been pushing out promotions early, and we've been covering them. That's not even mentioning our coming, monolithic, ongoing Black Friday 2018 roundup. So, is there anything specific you plan on picking up this Black Friday/Cyber Monday/coming week?
Read MoreWeekend poll: Do you have touch sounds on or off?
We all have our own process when setting up a new phone for the first time. Sometimes that's as simple as restoring a backup and tweaking whatever we need to fit the new device, other times we might want to try something new just to see what it's like. Whatever the case, most phones out there seem to come with touch sounds — a feature which makes a noise when you touch your screen — enabled.
We're curious, do you have them turned on or off?
Read MoreWeekend poll: Did you buy a OnePlus 6T?
OnePlus' latest flagship, the 6T, was formally revealed one week ago. The phone had some big shoes to fill, given the generally positive opinion of the OnePlus 6, and it delivered. Based on what you've seen so far, have you taken the plunge? Did you pick up a 6T?
Read MoreWeekend poll: Which October phone announcement got you most excited?
In tech blogging circles, this past month has been something of a phoneocalypse. Between Google's Pixel 3, Huawei's Mate 20 variants, the LG V40 ThinQ, and the anticipated, but as yet unreleased, OnePlus 6T (among a longer list of devices), a large number of popular names have decided to push a new phone out this October. With every OEM competing for your attention in such a narrow window, which of this month's phones had/has you the most excited?
Read MoreWeekend poll: Do you use the Pixel 2 and 3's 'Active Edge' feature?
In light of all the Pixel-related news in the last week, there's a question we've meant to ask our readers, as we're a bit divided on the subject ourselves. Starting with the Pixel 2 and 2 XL, Google introduced a feature it called Active Edge which allowed you to squeeze the sides of the phone to invoke the Assistant. It's a feature which has continued with the latest Pixel 3 and 3 XL, but we're curious how many of our readers actually appreciate and use the extra functionality.
Read MoreWeekend poll: Did you pre-order one of Google's new Pixel 3s?
This was The Big Week here at Android Police. Google finally revealed the much-leaked Pixel 3. Historically, the Pixels have been some of the most popular devices among our readers. Even though criticism of this year's phones seems a bit stronger, it's easy for a vocal minority to drown out the silent majority. So now it's time to ask the question: Did you pre-order one of Google's new Pixels?
Read MoreWeekend poll: Will you be watching Google's Pixel event this week?
Google's October event, where the company is expected to formally reveal the much-leaked Pixel 3 phones (among other hardware), is a mere two days away. The joke this year is that Google won't have anything to actually say, given the volume of leaks for this year's hardware. But there could still be a few surprises in store. That said, will you be watching this Tuesday's upcoming Made by Google event?
Read MoreWeekend poll: Do you subscribe to YouTube Premium?
Almost everyone watches YouTube — if not regularly, at least occasionally. The service is a functional monopoly when it comes to online video. It's also ad-supported, and while those advertisements aren't anywhere near as annoying or ridiculous as contemporary television, they are a noticeable part of using YouTube. With benefits like offline use, background playback, YouTube Music, and no advertisements, I'm curious how many of our readers have elected to pay for YouTube Premium.

Weekend poll: What version of Android does your phone run?
I'm sure at least a few of you felt betrayed by last week's poll, so in light of the T-Mobile G1 announcement anniversary, we'll be doing the most purely Android poll we can. It's a classic, too. The last time we asked this question, neither Pie nor Oreo had been released, so we're curious to see how the numbers have changed.
What version of Android does your phone run?
Read MoreWeekend poll: Are you getting one of the new iPhones?
I know, I know, we're the Android Police, so I'm sure the vast majority of our readers will answer "No" when it comes to buying one of Apple's new iPhones. Still, Android doesn't exactly exist in a vacuum, and a surprising number of our readers use iOS. We'll keep it our secret, this is just between you and me — and the rest of our readers, I suppose. At least the results are anonymous.
Are you thinking about picking up a new iPhone?
