Harish Jonnalagadda is Android Central's Senior Editor overseeing the mobile category. He started his tech journey at a very young age by tweaking Windows XP installations, and that hobby ignited an enthusiasm that led him into the world of PC modding. After picking up a Bachelor's degree in computer science, he decided to pursue his passion by covering PC hardware at VR-Zone, where he reviewed motherboards, video cards, and DRAM modules.
While he used iPhones initially, switching to the Nexus 4 served as the catalyst to explore Android's burgeoning ecosystem, and he pivoted to writing about mobile tech, joining Android Central's newsroom back in 2014. As a Senior Editor, he oversees the site's coverage of Chinese phone brands, enthusiast audio products, networking hardware, and storage servers, leveraging his engineering background and extensive experience testing mobile hardware to evaluate the latest phones and accessories.
In over a decade of covering Android, he has used pretty much every single major phone released globally, giving him an unrivaled view into Google's mobile platform. His specialty is Chinese brands; he's charted the growth of all the major Chinese manufacturers from their inception, and he uses that knowledge to share unique insights. When not testing the latest gadgets, he can be found reading sci-fi novels on his e-reader, and occasionally yelling at the TV in frustration as Arsenal squander yet another title run.
