I’m becoming a wireless charging convert, the ease of just slamming gently placing your phone or tablet onto a pad on your desk to charge it so quick and easy. The more devices I buy that support Qi charging the more I want to use it, have already …
The world record for the most leaked handset of the year has to go to the Nexus 5. With more leaks than a dodgy plumber, the Nexus 5 has been revealed to us by all but those that actually make and market it. Another leak has happened today …

If you’re walking around the US and don’t want to get shot, try sticking your phone in your chest pocket. A member of staff in a petrol station has got his HTC handset to thank for being alive after getting shot in an attempted robbery. A man entered …
Recently you may have seen the Phonebloks idea, which basically involved a lego-style phone that you connected together and replaced depending on what you wanted or what had broken. Repairing phones, even though they cost as much as your TV, usually means a direct swap of your handset …

Let’s face it, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the new flagship for Samsung. No longer does the Galaxy S range sit at the top of the pile. With the original Note it was very similar to the S2, with only the screen size and the design being …

So, you don’t want to go for an ultra-cheap-bargain-basement tablet but, at the same time, you don’t want to get utterly fleeced buying a top-end tablet. What about the Google Nexus 7 we reviewed? Fancy that? How about bagging one for less than £180? How’s that sound to …
Phablets, or just ‘big phones’ if you prefer, aren’t normally associated with great cameras, but the flagship models from both Samsung and LG both have fairly capably 13mp shooters. Therefore, it would be fairly rude not to compare them. Some stand out specifications are as follows Note3 13mp …
I was never a stickler for official cases. I never understood why I would pay over the odds for something I could buy somewhere else that would probably be just as good and a lot cheaper. When I got the chance to try out the official S4 mini …
During our Ascend P2 review I wanted to show off the stabilization technology that is build into the camera. It’s a feature that may be build into your phone but I wanted to show just how much it helps to smooth your footage. So, I had a think …

Popular twitter account @evleaks has just posted a press photo of a white Nexus 5 with the words ‘in white 11/1’. Now, if you look at that date in UK format it’ll mean 1st November … With so many leaks of this device, we were hoping to have …
As you know, I’m a professional and well regarded blogger / reporter. The people from The Telegraph come to me when they want advice on how to cover the news y’know. However, I do also love things that are a bit bonkers and “out there”. This then, is …

It’s daft really. When you think of the infrastructure that Google have at their disposal, to say that servers are down seems a bit bonkers. In reality there was some sort of issue with a section of the Google system, probably due to the Skynet being enabled. Don’t …
40 Million. That’s a big number. It’s pretty much the population of Argentina. Imagine, if you will, 40 million people. Got that? Now imagine them holding something. Something plastic. It’s a Galaxy S4. Samsung have, according to inews24, offloaded this many in just 6 months. We’ve just done …
Everyone loves shooting zombies right? Someone surely made this a rule a few years ago, personally I think it’s all Danny Boyle’s fault. But if your a big zombie shoot-em-up fan then you’re going to be busy today. The original was a big hit, with millions and millions …

The Huawei Ascend P2 was a device we first spotted back in Barcelona some months ago and, finally, it’s here. Inside there’s some pretty decent specs. Decent? No, that’s not the right word. Very good. Firstly you have that 4.7″ 720×1280 pixel screen. Resolution is great – the …
Not so much a leak this one. Perhaps more of a complete and utter waterfall of bendy LG action.

Remember when we all watched those big TV’s? They were big, heavy and you had to get two people just to carry the thing. Remember teletext? Oh how we laughed…. In those old days we used something called “BBM” which people, who owned BlackBerry handsets, used to communicate …
The last few weeks have been interesting, I’ve been using the GOCLEVER FONE 570Q phablet as one of my main devices and it’s about time for the main review. My initial impressions are here if you’re interested. The GOCLEVER is one of those devices that look identical to …
