Jordan is the Phones Editor for Tom's Guide, covering all things phone-related. From a fascination with Android through to pouring over the latest iPhones, as well as poking fun at the near-pointlessness of gaming phones, Jordan has been writing about phones for more than six years. And he plans to keep doing this for at least another half dozen years again.
From his time at Tom’s Guide so far, Jordan has reviewed the likes of the iPhone 14 Pro, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Google Pixel 6 Pro. But he’s not just a flagship phone fan, having turned his hand to the likes of the Asus Zenphone 9 and getting to grips with the Nothing Phone (1), the first phone from Carl Pei’s Nothing brand.
Jordan is also keen on exploring some of the more intriguing areas of tech, such as de-Googling Android or taking an old MacBook Pro and turning it into a Chromebook; yes really. And he’s also a dab hand at putting mini-PCs to the test, as seen in this Geekom MiniAir 11 review.
Outside the world of Tom’s Guide, Jordan loves nothing more than relaxing in his home with a book, game, or his latest personal writing project. He likes finding new things to dive into, from books and games to new mechanical keyboard switches and fun keycap sets. And you can also find him poring over open-source software and his studies.
