He’s been covering all things Android since 2021 when he joined the team at Android Police, serving as both News Editor and Phones Editor throughout his tenure.

Will has a degree in video production he occasionally remembers to use, but his real love lies in both writing and podcasting. He’s constantly fascinated — and sometimes frustrated — by the ever-evolving shape of consumer technology, and enjoys bringing that sense of affection and curiosity to everything he produces.

Now, Pebble is ready to launch a brand-new wearable, and it’s a pretty big left turn from it’s previous releases.

After digging through everything Google’s been working on these past few months, their attention turns to the newly-confirmed Galaxy Z TriFold.
