Nick started with DOS and NES and uses those fond memories of floppy disks and cartridges to fuel his opinions on modern tech. Because of this, he covers both smartphones and VR technology, two avenues that split his passions right down the middle. From Nokia fan to Android fanatic, Nick has been writing about and reviewing smartphones since 2011. An avid gamer and equally well-versed tech head, Nick worked in the IT industry for 15 years, helping to further develop his technical knowledge which has become particularly important in his fight with PWM sensitivity and deep dives into display technology. He's a huge fan of any phone that can fold in half and loves getting into the nitty-gritty with folding phone coverage for the site. He's also got over a decade of experience with VR gaming, having used the original Oculus DK1 and every major VR headset since then, passionately covering Android Central's Meta Quest content with his weekly thVRsday column on Thursdays. Beyond that, you'll find Nick taking photos of anything and everything, from the beautiful mountains of his home or the chickens in his backyard, and using them to compare cameras to help you choose the best one.
