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. In my entire writing career, I've reviewed more than 75 Android phones.

I have been writing for Android Police since 2021, covering news, how-tos, and features. You can find my previous work on
, AndroidBeat, Times of India, iPhoneHacks, MySmartPrice, and
MakeUseOf
.
When not working, I tend to mindlessly scroll through X, play with new AI models, or go on long road trips. You can reach out to me on X or drop a mail at rajesh@androidpolice.com.

However, this will change starting September 2, 2026, with Google rolli
