Introducing the new and improved XDA TV – revisiting the Galaxy S3 with Android 12
XDA TV is back on YouTube in a new and improved avatar, focusing on engaging storytelling, great topic selection, and pleasing visuals!
There's no better way to start an announcement but with a confession: making videos is hard, and making good videos that people will eagerly watch is even more so. With those challenges in mind, XDA started its YouTube journey back in 2011, back when the platform itself was still figuring itself out. A few years down the line, we confess that we hit a few roadblocks, and the frequency of our content declined. But this is what we want to put behind us, as we are proud to announce the revival of XDA's YouTube channel in the XDA 2.0 era!

An Update on XDA Labs
XDA Labs is an app distribution platform for developers that couldn’t host on Google Play. And we have an important announcement to make.
It was five years ago that we launched XDA Labs after hundreds of hours of development. The primary purpose was to create an alternate app distribution platform for developers that couldn’t host on Google Play. Labs had other features such as beta and alpha channels (before Google added the same to Google Play) to enable developers to have more control over their app distribution and testing. Not only that, but Labs let users get early access to new versions of popular apps with an update mechanism that would “push” updates to phones often days or weeks before Google or other big developers did full rollouts of new app versions.
