Negri Electronics started in 2006 with a simple idea: people deserved access to the best unlocked phones in the world, without carrier restrictions and without games.
From a small operation, it grew into one of the leading unlocked electronics retailers in the United States, shipping high-end devices to customers in more than 190 countries and generating over $54 million in sales. We built partnerships with the biggest names in tech and earned a reputation for getting people the right device, fast.
In 2014, Negri Electronics was acquired. The story could have ended there.
But the questions never stopped. Friends, former customers, and readers kept asking the same thing they asked in 2006: "What should I buy?"
So we brought Negri Electronics back, rebuilt for how people buy tech today. We no longer hold inventory. We do something more useful: we help you decide. Our recommendations are independent, our testing standard is public, and when you buy through our links, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. That is the entire business model, disclosed up front.
Ryan Negri founded Negri Electronics at 24 and has spent two decades building technology companies. He leads the recommendations you see here.
