We were in China live for the launch of the Meizu 15 and we even got to unbox it too, but what about that camera setup on the back? The Meizu 15 has a 20 megapixel and 12 megapixel dual-camera arrangement with 3x lossless zoom. Meizu aren’t afraid …
Money isn’t our friend at the moment. Our donation drive isn’t, I’ll be honest, going that well. We’ve only received £4.63, and that was from Bobby Wallace (thanks Bobby, we love you fella!) If you’ve got cash, and you don’t want to spend it on keeping us online, …
The LG G7 ThinQ was recently announced, and O2 have confirmed that they will exclusively stock the ‘Morroccan Blue’ colour in the next few weeks. The G7 ThinQ is the latest flagship from LG and offers some great specs that are overlooked when compared to phones like the …
The introduction Samsung is one of the largest players in the Android arena, and their Galaxy handsets have become iconic around the world. This year at MWC, the company announced their latest versions – the Galaxy S9 and S9+. Both of these are on sale now. We were lucky …
Want to get the new Motorola Moto G6? Well, there’s only one place to go folks because it’s exclusive to Vodafone until the end of this month. Bag one with 1GB of data, unlimited texts and unlimited minutes for a mere £24 per month. The G6, which we …
With the launch of the OnePlus 6 just around the corner, the company have improved their trade-in offer to give customers a better chance of upgrading. Existing OnePlus customers can trade-in to the latest flagship, but anyone in a different manufacturer can also make the switch too. Customers …
When the Google Pixelbook originally came out, for some of us, it was an immediate object of desire. Sure, it was an Oxymoron, but it was the most wonderful type of machine – over specced and way overpowered, but the absolute pinnacle of what a Chromebook could be. …
My job involves a lot of sitting down. Sometimes I get up for coffee, but then the snack machine starts looking at me and I end up with a chocolate bar too. A few years back I ran up the stairs and was a bit surprised to be …
As you can see I have made a fairly bold statement up there. That my friends, was not just for clickbait. It was a serious intended question, which during the course of this review I intend to answer. I have had the privilege of testing a few of …
Well, that’s a surprise. Lenovorola, under the Moto brand, is going to release all three versions of their newly-announced G6 Family. In case you missed it, Motorola announced two new series of handsets, in their affordable G range, and the value E range. The G range is now …
The news has just come out that manufacturer Xiaomi have agreed a deal with Hutchison Group to sell their products in markets the network operates. This is great news for the UK where the network Three offers an already exciting range of smartphones from companies like Huawei and …
Well, where do I start here? We saw the LG G7 ThinQ back in February at Mobile World Congress. It was all a bit weird, because they displayed it around the back of the stand, supposedly to invite-only people, but then didn’t stop said people taking lots of …
Most leaked handset in history? Yep, it’s certainly getting that way. Over the weekend we found more details of the battery and screen on the LG G7, now we’re getting more on the audio side of things. We saw the thing in Barcelona in February but then there …
Just in case you missed it, the LG G7 made a rather unscheduled appearance at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. There was rumours that it wasn’t the finished product, but then it became clear that it actually was. Very strange. Now we’re just days away from …
A few years ago I used to go to a casino. I’d have to travel there and I could often spend quite some time at the roulette tables. Sometimes I’d come out in the early hours. Now though, you don’t need to actually be in a casino to …
Well, it was only a matter of time wasn’t it? Sure, it’s felt like an age since the phone was first released, but now the Essential Phone PH01 is available to buy for us in the UK. The Essential phone got a lot of media attention as it was …
Vodafone have just confirmed to us that the new Samsung Galaxy A8 device is now on sale here in the UK with some great deals. If you’re a regular reader then you’ll have already known that it was on the way thanks to our earlier story. The A8 …
The Introduction Just a week or so ago we posted the Sony Xperia XZ1 review, so it would only be right to follow it up with the newer XZ2. As they have done so many times in the past, Vodafone UK kindly loaned us one so we could …
The news many of us have been waiting for has finally been confirmed! OnePlus will announce their latest flagship phone on the 16th May in London town! Anyone wanting to go has the option of purchasing a ticket which is in limited quantity. However, in return for your …
Oppo did a bit of a launch over the weekend too. This is their new F7, a handset with a massive 6.23″ screen (2280 x 1080) in a 19:9 aspect ratio. There’s a rear 16 megapixel shooter with an f/1.8 aperture.. However… It’s not all about that back …
A hotel room? A review unit? Matteo Doni? Mix up those ingredients and there’s a tasty video in the making. The Meizu 15 launched just yesterday and we were on hand to give it the maximum amount of coverage direct from China. The Meizu 15 has a 5.46″ …
We’re live from Wuzhen in China this weekend. It’s the launch of the Meizu 15. It’s got the best camera technology in a Meizu and it’s the first Meizu handset to run on a Qualcomm chipset. There’s also going to be a Meizu 15 Plus, which has the …
Whats this? Our very own Matteo? In China on business? Yes indeed, but wait a minute, he’s had something arrive. It’s an invite, but this isn’t some dull piece of paper. This is a very posh, plush and official-looking box. Inside there’s something quite special, and there’s even an …
So, Dan wrote about this just a short while ago but the PR people promised me a free biscuit if I mentioned it again. The Nokia 7 plus, a smartphone which promises a two day battery life, is coming to the UK. It’s £349.99 and will be available …
Yes, the A8, not the S8. The Galaxy A8 is a new mid-range device which fits into that uncomfortable “it’s a bit like an S8 but I bought the cheaper version” slot. It’s a tad heavier than the Galaxy S8, but still has the 18.5:9 screen and glass …
Way back when this site first started, we had a monstrous downloads section where you could grab MP3 files to plonk onto your phone. In the early 2000’s (yes, we’ve been around a while), it was fairly unusual to have a phone which could get free ringtones. Most …
Google Play is the go-to place for apps if you’ve got an Android handset. It’s monitored and controlled by Google but, if you’re into your binary trading, you may have noticed that a new ban on apps allowing Binary Options trading has just kicked in. The news appeared …
If the standard Huawei P20 Pro is not enough of a stunning visual design with the mind-meltingly good camera then you can now pre-order its premium brother. This come’s in the form of the Porsche Design Mate RS, it has just gone up as available for pre-order with our friends over at Clove …
OnePlus continue to prepare for the pending OnePlus 6 launch with more teasers but in the meantime, it has been confirmed that the OnePlus 5T launched in 2017 has reached the end of its life. That model has sold out in most of Europe, however, O2 still have …
You’ll be forgiven if you had not realised that in addition to the 3-camera behemoth (the P20 PRO) Huawei had also released a slightly smaller handset. All the attention has so been on the P20 Pro, the bigger device with extra RAM, better water-proofing, an Amoled (rather than …
Meizu is a Chinese phone manufacturer Leigh and I have been following for a while. Leigh really liked the Meizu M1 Note, and I’ve loved using the M2 Note, M3 Note and more recently an M5 Note. Meizu have been doing some funky stuff with their mBack buttons …
Story so far then, and during the big mobile madness that is “Mobile World Congress”, some silly sausage put the upcoming LG G7 on the LG stand. It was sneaked behind the stand and presumably they thought that the invited guests wouldn’t be taking photos of the thing. …
The handset will be available exclusively from Carphone Warehouse for £229.99. This 2018 model adds fast charging and Zeiss cameras. It’s also 60% faster than its predecessor. Headline specs include a 5.5″ 1080 x 1920 pixels 16:9 screen, Android 8.0 (Oreo), a Qualcomm SDM630 Snapdragon Octa-core 2.2 GHz …
My son is into “Fortnite” at the moment. It’s his first “shooting” game but the characters are a little more “cartoon-like” and there’s no real gore that I can see. In all honesty, I’ve not really got “into” the PS4 a great deal. I know it’s very powerful, …
As far as phones with a stand-out features go, the ZTE Axon M is definitely one of the most interesting to look at. We took a look at it in Barcelona and about the only thing we didn’t like was the price. Two expensive screens instead of one …
A few months ago Google revealed a fairly small selection of apps which you could start using instantly – without even installing them. In October we saw a new “Try it Now” button appearing on apps such as BuzzFeed NYTimes, Hollar, Red Bull, Skyscanner and others. It was …
I’m away on business at the moment, and as this is happening with alarming regularity I’ve slipped into a habit of bringing my “home comforts” with me. Trouble is, you can’t always get every home comfort. The tea for example, it’s just not the same. However, with the …
So, we’ve got Facebook for keeping in touch with people that you rarely see. We’ve got LinkedIn for telling people how good we are at work and we’ve got various other apps for dating / picture sharing and messaging. However, Pal is a fresh new idea which lets …
Vodafone have sent an email to let us know the Sony Xperia XZ2 and XA2 devices announced at MWC are now available. Missed the launch? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with all the details here. The XZ2 is the flagship phone and brings a dramatic new design, …
Some of you, and I suspect there may be quite a few, won’t have heard of “rooting”. On Android it’s not quite the same as “jailbreaking” is with iPhone devices, but it does mean that apps can have more control over your phone. Rooting your phone will give …
