Mobile Writer

Tushar is a freelance writer at Digital Trends and has been contributing to the Mobile Section for the past three years. Having reviewed hundreds of mobile devices in his career, Tushar can pinpoint the nuances between different interfaces with a brief glimpse. Beyond phones and tablets, Tushar holds a key interest in all forms of consumer technology, innovation, big tech, and STEM.

With a strong affinity for futurism, Tushar likes to inquire into the future technologies or dissect complex and highly technical topics with a human touch. When he's not drooling over the best Android phone cameras, Tushar can be found fiddling with ridiculous gadgets like tiny Android phones and real-life Babel Fish replacements.

Tushar studied Chemical Engineering at university, but chose to be a writer dedicated to oversimplifying science and technology. Having written for a decade, Tushar feels very strongly about the em dash (and hates Windows for not having easy shortcuts to it), and leans towards Mac and Android as his preferred operating systems to get stuff done.

In addition to Digital Trends, Tushar contributes to Forbes Vetted. His previous work can be found at XDA, SlashGear, Android Central, and Screen Rant. He also dumps his unfiltered thoughts on a tech-focused blog called Athenil.

He likes to tinker with gadgets to maximize their utility, just like using making an Android tablet an extension of his gaming laptop. He likes to think of himself as an early adopter but has trouble letting go of his favorite tech — such as the 2011 HP Pavilion DM3 he modded into a Chromebook just for fun and giggles (spoiler alert: he didn't get either). When he first discovered TikTok, he spent four hours rofl-ing and almost convinced his co-workers he was under the influence of an illegal plant.

Tushar is based in the bustling capital city of India, which gives him convenient access to half-based but exciting tech from Chinese and Hong Kong-based startups.

He enjoys watching animated series with a dash of absurdism and being possessed by groovy beats in progressive rock music. In his spare time, he spaces out on Pink Floyd or yells at cloud.
