About Brian Lang
Smartphones have been a huge passion of mine since I got my HTC Thunderbolt. Sure, the phone was terrible — but I was hooked regardless. After graduating with a BA in English from Montclair State University, I brought my talents to GadgetHacks. My other hobbies include playing children's card games competitively and being emotionally invested in failing sports franchises.
