Published May 7, 2026, 1:04 AM EDT I've been writing about Android since 2011, with a focus on device reviews, Samsung and Google Pixel hardware, and the latest happenings in the ecosystem.

Carrying both a Samsung or Pixel flagship and an iPhone as a daily driver provides me with deep insight into how Android works and how it compares to iOS. I have been writing for Android Police since 2021, covering news, how-tos, and features. You can find my previous work on  Neowin , AndroidBeat, Times of India, iPhoneHacks, MySmartPrice, and MakeUseOf .
