About Andy Boxall

Andy is a seasoned technology journalist with more than 15 years experience in the mobile industry, writing for Digital Trends, Wired, and more. 

Andy has reviewed hundreds of smartphones and tablets, dozens of smartwatches, and a host of smart rings, smart glasses, and fitness trackers, giving him a unique ability to assess and evaluate the latest products.

His daily mobile tech life includes Android and iOS devices, smart rings, and a smartwatch, unless it's a special occasion, when a traditional watch takes its place on his wrist.

Andy always has a strong opinion on the state of the mobile industry, and writes in-depth analysis features to put the latest news and products into context. 

He has attended multiple CES, MWC, and IFA tradeshows, has a passion for photography and cars, listens to far too much K-pop, and follows F1.

What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?

The easy answer to this question is anything mobile related. Android and iOS smartphones are a given, but I also love how smart rings are transforming the way wearables track our lives, the continued evolution of smartwatches, and the potential of smart glasses too. I also like audio tech, smart home, and sleep tech too.

How long have you been interested in technology?

From the calculator watches and pens with digital clocks in them I had when I was small, to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and the Commodore Amiga computers which shaped my teenage years, and my retail jobs selling mobile phones and home computers before I became a journalist, I have been into technology for as long as I can remember.

What was your first phone and what do you remember about it?

My first phone was the Motorola MicroTAC, a big analog phone with a flip-down cover over the keypad and a pull-out antenna. I bought it at the same time a friend bought his first phone, which was the Sony CM-H333, also known as the Mars Bar phone. We thought we were pretty cool at the time.
