Here’s What People Are Saying About XDA

• @TheRichWoods

  Yeah, guess it's time for my own Some Personal News (TM). Starting next week, I'm going to be editor-in-chief at @xdadevelopers

  
• @chris_wedel

  Personal news time: Today is my last day at @androidcentral. The change is very much bittersweet as I've loved the people and opportunities in my time spent there. But change is inevitable, and I'll be heading to @xdadevelopers as the new Mobile Section Editor.️

• @AdamConwayIE

  While I've reached out to Samsung for further clarification on this statement, the company seems to have been aware of this since 2016, which is insanely worrying and matches up with the file having been first submitted to VirusTotal in 2016.

  
• @AdamConwayIE

  This year has been a pretty hectic one, and I'm really proud of some of the work I've done with @xdadevelopers. These are some of my favourite pieces that I've written in 2022! Getting to cover the @CSGO Antwerp major was an incredible experience.

  
• @alexdobie

  Here's part one in a two-part @xdadevelopers look back at old phone features, in which I reminisce about my favorite three old-ass phone features we just don't see anymore. Once upon a time there was more to life than glass, metal and hole-punches!
