Inside AA HQ
What is the best smartphone? That’s what most people ask me when I tell them that I am a tech blogger who thinks about phones all day long. It’s a perfectly valid question – people, and “non-techie people” in particular, just want to know what to buy, what to avoid, what to pick from a crowd of aggressively marketed phones. Unfortunately, the answer is rarely as simple as “buy this one or that.”
Because it’s so hard to objectively rank smartphones, we decided to launch into the biggest, most in-depth comparison between the top Android smartphones of the moment that we’ve ever done. It’s calledBest of Android, it’s coming from next week, and we’re really excited to show it to you. Keep an eye out for the announcement, and stay tuned throughout the week for in-depth analyses of all the major aspects of the phone experience.
This week, we’re giving away the excellent Nexus 6P. As usual,entering our international giveaway is as simple as a couple of clicks. Good luck!
