When not working, Abdullah enjoys testing new audio gear, reading or writing fiction, and taking his cat out for a walk.
Abdullah has been enamored with smartphones ever since he first learnt about touchscreens as a child. Since then his fascination for them has only strengthened and he still can't believe that he lives in a time when slabs of glass and steel allow him to peruse all of recorded human history.
He is also a huge proponent of Virtual Reality and can't wait to see what Meta brings to the table in the future. Abdullah also loves covering news about Apple because of just how influential that company is for the entire smartphone industry.
