Ryan Haines

Ryan Haines is a tech journalist who’s covered a little bit of everything for Android Authority since he joined as a fresh-faced freelancer out of college. Long before that, he spent his hours digging into all things Android, drooling over simple things like HTC’s rolodex-style clock and chasing the finer things like the Sorta Sage finish on the Google Pixel 5, a phone he still wishes he hadn’t given up.

Now, as a Senior Writer for Android Authority, Ryan still has the chance to wax poetic about those same favored features both big and small, only on a much broader scale. When not attending a new product launch, reviewing the latest gadgets, or scouring the show floor at CES or IFA, Ryan is an avid runner and climber, and tries to find ways to better incorporate technology into his adventures and health-tracking data into his everyday life.

Ryan’s first smartphone was an HTC Droid Incredible 4G (hello again, rolodex clock), but he’s since graduated to a Pixel 9 Pro as his daily driver. You’ll also find him toting a Garmin GPS watch on his wrist with a pair of Shokz OpenRun Pro wrapped around his neck in anticipation of his next trip outdoors. He mostly writes on a 15-inch MacBook Air, but keeps a Surface Laptop 3 as a backup… you know, for when Apple decides to make life difficult.
