Matt Horne

Matt Horne has been a key member of the Android Authority team since 2017, helping readers find the best tech deals and covering pivotal sales events like Prime Day and Black Friday. Alongside his knack for finding bargains, Matt stays on top of breaking news and dives into tech’s most intriguing topics with guides and features that resonate with Android enthusiasts.

Now based in Mexico, Matt’s journey to tech journalism took an unconventional path — he was once a criminal lawyer in London, where his analytical skills and focus on fairness were honed. Outside of his journalistic life, he enjoys playing and watching soccer or cooking up a storm while listening to a podcast. A passion for travel has led to many an exciting trip, and is also what brought him to Latin American shores.

Matt has always been an Android acolyte, switching back and forth between the Samsung and OnePlus ecosystems. He’s currently sporting a Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus as his daily driver but has fond memories of his old Galaxy S5 — the option to switch out the battery for one of several spares was invaluable as he bounced between police stations and courtrooms in the UK. His old pair of Galaxy Buds Plus is still going strong after a few years, as is his JBL Flip 5 speaker, which has been on almost as many adventures as he has.
