Mishaal Rahman is a veteran tech journalist in the Android beat. He has covered this beat since 2015 and is now widely considered the foremost authority on Android OS coverage.

He currently freelances for publications like Android Authority, Android Central, Android Headlines, and Android Police where he's considered their Android expert. His coverage of Android is frequently cited by tech publications like The Verge and Engadget and is also referenced by Google and the other makers of the very devices he covers.
