Features Lead at Android Authority Former Section Editor at Digital Trends joe.maring@androidauthority.com

Hello! It's been a minute — and I have some✨personal news✨ to share: As of this week, I'm changing my role at @androidauthority.com from Trending Editor to Features Lead! I'll now be developing and leading all of AA's Feature content strategies (and still writing a lot) ✍️.

I recently subjected myself to using Samsung Keyboard on my Galaxy S25. I wish I hadn't! s/o to @nexusben.com and @willsattelberg.bsky.social for dealing with many incoherent, typo-ridden texts while I wrote this article (many of which you can see below) 🤗 www.androidauthority.com/i-hated-sams...

I hated my Samsung Galaxy S25 until I changed this one thing

I recently started using the Samsung Galaxy S25. And it's great! But only after I changed this one infuriating setting.

Hello! I have started freelancing with @androidauthority.com and am once again writing Hot Takes about phones on the internet. One of my first features is about the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 and how it being "boring" could be a good thing. www.androidauthority.com/motorola-raz...

The Motorola Razr Plus 2025 looks like the upgrade I was hoping for

The Motorola Razr Plus 2025 is shaping up to be a very minor upgrade over the 2024 model. Here's why I can't wait for it.

New from me! I got to write about my first impressions of the @samsungmobileus.bsky.social Galaxy S25 Ultra for Navi. It looks and feels … a lot like the Galaxy S24 Ultra! But if you’re upgrading from a Galaxy S20 Ultra or S21 Ultra, there is plenty to like here📱. www.yournavi.com/posts/samsun...

I just want to thank everyone who's reached out to me today — whether via DM, a comment on a post, or even just a like or reshare. Today has been a nightmare, but the outpouring of support from so many people has made it just a little brighter. I love and appreciate you all. Thank you ❤️.

Today, I was laid off from my role as Mobile Section Editor at Digital Trends — as were most of my other full-time editorial colleagues. After almost 3 years with the company, I was told that today I no longer have a job.

Some key takeaways from my Apple Music Replay: 1. The Tunic soundtrack is 10/10 working/focus music. Check it out! Also Tunic rules! 2. I got VERY into Talking Heads after watching Stop Making Sense (twice) 3 Illinois is a perfect album
