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 …
Are you a student with a penchant for decent smartphones, but you can’t afford one because your loan ran out during freshers week? Well here’s some good news. OPPO Style, the European distributor of all things OPPO, has got a back to school promotion on! The deal is …
After starting in the Far East and US, European HTC One’s are now starting to get the Android 4.3 OTA update. This update includes an update to Sense, including new Blinkfeed options, the ability to disable Blinkfeed, camera and gallery updates and the ability to save articles to …
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 …
Chrome Browser for Android is part of my life, it’s part of many people’s lives no doubt. Google Keep adding new features and pushing the browser ever onwards. Today’s update adds a quick way to switch between open tabs. To move between tabs you just swipe across the …
The LG G2 is one of the best phones this year, and on checking T-Mobile, Orange and the EE websites, there is still mention of this phone online. At present only Three and O2 were confirmed to stock it (and already have it on sale)……. well …. that’s …
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. Either way, the curvy creature has somehow found its way onto Argentinian TV with yet more photos appearing along with this professional TV appearance.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1SNEEYtP2k&feature=youtube_gdata_player The screen, apparently, is …
Online dating doesn’t have the stigma it maybe once had, and many dating websites are trying new things to differentiate themselves. Carrot Dating has Android and iPhone apps and their idea is definitely “different”. It’s begins with the usual steps. You sign up and tell the app your …
When Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 3, the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) and the Galaxy Gear they basically said that if you wanted to use their fancy new Smartwatch you’d have to buy one of their fancy new devices, understandably Galaxy S4 and Note II owners were …
We’ve already seen the lovely red HTC One but, from next month, you can get the baby brother in red too. The HTC One mini is exclusively available to Phones 4u in that glamour red colour. The One mini has the same unibody design as the bigger brother …
Packed with a dual-core 1.7GHz dual-core CPU and 4.5″ qHD TFT screen, the 4G-powered Samsung Galaxy Express 2 is heading to Vodafone. The network will be offering the ceramic white version here in the UK exclusively, with other retailers getting it later. There’s also a blue version which …
It seems like an age since HTC ventured into tablet territory, the last effort was the long forgotten HTC Flyer. Sadly it was the company’s one and only tablet, and HTC stated that they would only return if they could develop a tablet that would “shake up the …
At the recent Unpacked 2013 event Samsung announced that the Galaxy S4 would be getting an update to Android Jelly Bean 4.3 in October and it has now started to roll-out around the world. Whilst Samsung don’t release an official changelog for their updates users who have been …
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 …
HTC have been making pretty good hardware for a while now and their latest range of ‘One’ handsets have been some of the most impressive phones of the year so far. However, large phones are becoming more popular now. We’ve already seen the Samsung Galaxy Note range and …
Are you a loser? I don’t mean a pasty geek who spends hours obsessing over mobile phones then writing about them on the internet, I mean someone who misplaces their phone. Well, either of the above may be interested in the HTC Fetch. It’s basically a keyfob that …
Lenovo have long skirted around the edge of the Android world, releasing the occasional smartphone with no real success. This time, however, they’re aiming at their core marketplace with the A10 android powered laptop. This is another strange bit of toe-dangling though, because what is an android laptop …
Hello weekend people. I’ve been told this morning that a couple of videos I uploaded this week were a little corrupted. I’ve now re-uploaded them, and I firmly blame a combination of bad weather, a droppy WiFi connection and wholesale gas prices. First, our look at some of …
Everyone loves a bit of individuality. We see it every day all around us, our clothes our accessories and now, even our smartphones are an extension of our personalities. Whether we admit it or not we all like a touch of something that differentiates us from the crowd …
The LG G2 has a tough market to compete in, the high end Android arena has a lot of big players in it currently. We have HTC, Samsung and Google all with devices around about 5″ so the G2 will draw lots of comparisons. I’ve only had the …
Last night, after turning my back for all of three minutes, my son pinched my phone and demanded that I download Angry Birds Go! Sure, I’d heard of Angry Birds (who hasn’t), but what’s this “Go!” business? Well, remember what happened when Mario Bros went from a platformer …
More famed as a Linux Distro, Ubuntu dared to venture into the Android & Apple dominated world of smartphone operating systems. By the looks of the demonstration videos I have seen so far it looks quite a refreshing venture! Yesterday Ubuntu announced the availability of a …
Hey. It’s Friday. We all love Friday don’t we? This morning I’ve been looking at Miniature Preview Camera. It’s basically a tilt-shift thingy that makes the world look all tiny. Take a snap, choose the area to focus on, double-touch to select and alter the focus. You can …
Well, here it is. The Google Nexus 5 You’ve seen it in the official Android Kit Kat reveal video. But here is an official Press Shot direct from Google. It’s now gone from the Google servers, but I think we can all take this as confirmation of the …
SwiftKey are the leaders in the third party Android keyboard game, their app has been around for years and they keep adding cool new features like like Cloud syncing and a pink theme. Today they’ve released a new beta version that is free for anyone to download, it’s …
Come close to the screen dear reader, because I know your secret. I know that your Android device is chock full of apps and games that you downloaded “just to try” and you’ve never uninstalled them. I know that you’ve got pop-ups all over the place and you’re …
I’m stuck! What do I do?! Help! It’s a common scenario. Tablets are now all over the place and even your Grandparents have one. It’s a support nightmare, and as the family “IT guy”, you’ll be getting calls to fix “the tablet thingy” for years to come. Amazon …
The Kindle Fire HD has already done really well and, although it was initially marketed as an e-reader, you’re bound to find plenty of Angry Birds filling out the devices up and down the country. Now there’s a new version, and you can choose between a 7″ or …
Homescreen launchers! You only have to search the Play Store to be presented with an abundance of them! So many seem to be the same so when one comes along to breathe life into a overly congested category you can be sure it will be a hit! Meet …
Sadly it’s not in our grubby mitts just yet, but those lads at Clove have just raided their stock and filmed this new 1.7GHz quad-core and uploaded it to YouTube. The tablet comes equipped with that 8.3″ 1920×1200 pixel screen, a 5 and 1.3 megapixel camera plus 16GB …
It saddens me to see HTC struggling to post a profit these days, especially when they bring to the table handsets like the HTC One. It goes to show what a mammoth marketing budget like Apple & Samsung have can do for an organisations fortunes. So, if HTC …
