Keeping up with the latest and greatest apps and games is a difficult task, but I’m here to help. Each month, I detail a list of the best new Android apps and games, and the Holiday edition is packed with a wide range of options for all.
Let’s jump right in. Here are the best new Android apps and games you should try in December 2025.
Comet Perplexity’s AI-infused browser is really good for news! Price: Free / In-app purchases from $19.99

I’m not a fan of AI browsers in general. The closest I got to daily driving one was Arc Search. Since then, The Browser Company has moved on to newer projects, but its rivals have been catching up. OpenAI rolled out its contender for iOS called Atlas in late October, but following hot on its heels is Perplexity’s Comet.
Comet has been around for a few weeks now, but it was only recently made available for Android users. As a Perplexity user, I can absolutely see the allure. It’s brilliant as a search and discovery browser, a tool to uncover information from the web easily. I’ve long believed that the Perplexity app is a decent alternative to Google News, and Comet is taking its place with a few more features added.
Notably, Comet is built on the same underpinnings as Chrome, so it’s quick and responsive. It also features an ad blocker with tracking protection, a pleasing if not barebones UI, and a global dark mode. It’s a positive start.
