Haroun clearly likes to wear many hats, though his favorite is sometimes a mystery.Samsung Pay provides owners of select Samsung Galaxy devices the ability to use their Galaxy phone to make payments almost anywhere you can swipe or tap your Chase credit, debit and/or Chase Liquid ® cards. His passion for medicine is still strong, and he’s currently studying for an MBBS degree. He also tapped into his inner gearhead energy to write for automotive sites like HotCars and Vehicle History. Before his foray into tech writing, Haroun crafted several sales articles and landing pages for copywriting agencies. He’s also written several buyer guides (and features) for How-To Geek, recommending the best smartphone and laptop gadgets. He started following the industry for his pleasure around 2014 before eventually taking up a writing role with Android Police. When Haroun was younger, he wanted to be a doctor - he still wants to be one - but the tech bug also bit him. How did it all start, though? The story of his affinity for tech takes us back to a time long ago.

His curiosity is only limited by the gadgets he has to play with at any given time. Since then, he’s gleefully covered everything from the most mundane Google Docs features to more mainstream Android and Chrome OS experiences, but he can’t seem to get enough. Haroun joined Android Police in 2021, reporting on the latest stories in the tech world.
