About XDA
XDA was founded in 2003 by developers, for developers. At first, the community was focused on the Windows Mobile (and subsequently Windows Phone) ecosystems. Designed as the home for those who wanted to do more with their PDAs at the time, including customizing the look and feel to fixing problems and adding new functionality.
In the early 2010s, with the rise of Android and the decline of the Windows Phone ecosystem, XDA began covering Android devices and rose to become one of the largest global Android resources, serving millions of global readers every month.
2010 saw the launch of the Portal and as we celebrated our ten-year anniversary, we realized our readers’ interests went way beyond mobile. In 2020, we hit new heights with the launch of an XDA phone and the expansion of our Content and the Community into wider enthusiast areas.
In late 2023, XDA shifted its focus to computing — to the burgeoning world of tech that powers our lives. We still love phones, but our remit has expanded to include laptops, gaming handhelds, and emerging tech like AI and VR, along with the software that powers it all.
