Want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge that’s just a little bit.. different ? Head to Spy Equipment UK where you can pick up a rather special version with in-built spy software. There’s a number of reasons why you’d want to spy on someone, but we won’t …
Based on the details we’ve seen on the web and our own experiences, this is how the big Samsung event will probably pan out. On Sunday you’ll have a HUGE launch in Barcelona for the new Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. Both handsets will, probably, be …
In the security news this week, there has been a new form of malware named “Mazar BOT” which has the ability to “root” your Android device and erase everything on the handset. The malware was discovered by Heimdal Security and was released this week in a blog. The …
At the Samsung Galaxy S6 launch event in Barcelona last year there was a lot of chatter about what had been removed from the handset. Gone was the microSD card slot, gone was the replaceable battery and gone too was the waterproof protection. All features of the S5. …

Hello again. You may remember that we recently asked for your help to get to Mobile World Congress. Usually, when we head over to Barcelona, we’ll have a sponsor or two helping us out, but this year we had a number of problems which basically meant that we …
I’ve never really been a big fan of using phones with a stylus, but if you are, the LG Stylus 2 could be right up your street. It’s not, as you might initially think, a stylus. “Stylus” is actually the name of the phone. It’s an enhanced version …
Mobile World Congress is now tantalising close, and already LG have revealed some of the kit due to be shown off at the event. Their new devices are set to include “premium features without the premium price” and we will see the first two phones in the X …
This is a piece of good news to end the February doldrums. It looks like folks in the EU who have the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge are likely to see a Marshmallow update coming to them soon. Unsurprisingly, South Korea got the update first seeing …
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the next premium LG handset will be the LG G5. It’s going to appear at Mobile World Congress, and there’s usually a couple of ways the mobile companies drum up interest ahead of a launch like this. You’ll …
It’s been apparent for a while that you don’t really have a product to release if there aren’t leaks of it before you’re ready to announce. This time it was LG’s turn with the up and coming LG G5, due to be announced on Feb 21 (the same …
Fancy a handset with a shatterproof screen? It should be appealing for those of you with the infamous “dropsies” 🙂 Our main man Garry has already unboxed the Moto X Force and you can see his video below, however it’s now showing up on Carphone Warehouse with prices …
Announced last year and available now, but it’s flown pretty low beneath the radar. Inside there’s a 5000 mAh battery, which makes it deserving of that “Max” name straight away. Big battery, big battery life. Even when used intensively, this puppy is said to last more than a …
Ahead of the launch event on February 21st there’s rumours about what the next Samsung Galaxy S7 will look like. This could be anything really, but the plastic curved back doesn’t really light our candle – especially when Samsung went all “premium” with the S6 construction. Either way, …
I have a thing for the weird and occasionally wonderful. The Turing Phone sits in the first category, and I am sincerely hoping that it will fall into the second category. Google, and by extension, its Android partner ecosystem weren’t afraid to try new things in the early …
Over the last year or so I’ve got to like the LG kit. I mean, don’t get me wrong. They’ve not paid me anything to say this. Sure, we love the LG Watch Urbane and we ased to borrow one. Didn’t get a response though. We also loved …
When you think memory card solutions, Kingston Digital will no doubt be on your list. Today, Kingston Digital announce two additions to its Wireless family with MobileLite Wireless G3 and MobileLite Wireless Pro. The MobileLite Wireless G3 provides users an extra power boost whilst out and about with its …
I’ve got to admire Honor. Yes, they’re “really” a brand from Huawei but that, in a way, just makes them even better in my book. They deliver good phones at good prices and that’s something that you can’t really argue with. The Honor 5X has already appeared in …
We’re here, live in Germany, for the announcement of another well-priced marvel from Honor. All the latest news and our thoughts will be added to the live blog below, so keep an eye on the updates. Be warned: Matteo may make a few comments about mockodile too…
A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away… no, not really) in the early days of Android, there was an app called Google Listen. This was one of the earliest podcasts apps. It was really popular and I used to really like it. Why? Because it …
I don’t know about you, but upcoming phone models are a bit easy to guess. The next HTC One? It’s got to be the M10. The next Samsung Galaxy? That’ll be the S7. So it’s with little surprise to anyone that the next premium device from LG will …
Remember Google Talk? Well all those years ago when Android first launched it was the simply the instant messaging app. To be honest I don’t think take-up was that big, but over the years Google Talk was replaced with “Hangouts”, and we all got used to calling and …
Well. I guess there’s some sort of logic to this. Perhaps there was a meeting at Microsoft that went something like this… “Hey guys, you bought Swype didn’t you?” “No, not yet. We bought Skype…” “Ohh bugger. I thought we’d bought that software keyboard company…” “No, we were …
It has been no secret that HTC didn’t get the response they want with the HTC One M9 in comparison to their previous flagship models. They have trailed behind Samsung and Apple recently in sales however the HTC One A9 hasn’t done too bad. Now we are building …
Well, personal experience already led me to think that WhatsApp was becoming pretty commonplace, but now we’ve got the figures to back it up. The messaging app now has one billion users sharing 42 billion messages per day, 1.6 billion photos and 250 million videos. To get an …
We’re hearing on the grapevine (or, rather, via you lot on our contact page), that the HTC One M8 is starting to get some hot Marshmallow action right now. Not only that, but we’ve also got unconfirmed reports that the newer HTC One M9 is receiving the Android …
In the last week or so we’ve seen a number of different companies release their 2015 sales figures. Any guesses who was the highest selling manufacturer of 2015?? Read on and all shall be revealed… Perhaps the biggest, or at least most cited, story last week was the …
Today is an exciting day. I have received a new phone to review. One that comes with a very bold claim. It apparently has a shatterproof screen. Yes, I’m talking about the new Moto X Force. This is a phone that, at first glance, looks unassuming and mild-mannered. However, …
Mobile World Congress is drawing closer and the inevitable rumour mill starts picking up pace. Also at this time of the year though we get a variety of figures from the companies regarding revenue and profits for the preceding year. Apples figures are eagerly awaited (even the BBC …
I love the idea of wireless charging. Part of the reason that I’ve had an LG G3 for so long is because I’m now so used to dropping it on a charging plate or into a holder in the car and really not worrying about wires. This, then, …
Picture the scene. I’ve got me a brand new LG G4. I’m polishing it, I’m treating it well and I’m being told that I spend too much time on it by the wife. It’s situation normal. But then, for some unexplained reason, it starts to reboot itself. It …
We are only a few weeks away from MWC, probably the biggest event in the smartphone calendar. There are many big flagships devices that are expected to be announced, the Galaxy S7, the LG G5 and the new HTC One amongst the others. Its at this stage that …
To be honest, Google Now just sits in the background of my phone, and it’s one of those features I forget is even there sometimes. Until I get a notification that is, and realise what a really useful app it is. Well, Google has announced that the company has …
Just a short while ago we had an excellent author, editor, podcast creator and general phone guru writing for us. You may remember him. He goes by the name of James Pearce and sadly only managed to write 1,707 articles before the boys at Honor went and offered …
It’s an OS which is given away, and one that also makes Microsoft a bit of cash thanks to a licence Google has to pay them for patents used in each handset. So, during a long-running legal spat between Oracle and Google, it’s interesting to see just how …
If you’re prepared to do a bit of work then getting cheap calls is relatively easy. There’s a range of solutions if you have a mobile handset, and when you’ve got an internet connection then everything becomes either extremely cheap or totally free. Having a call package with …
Mobile gaming is an industry that is growing stronger each year with increased revenues every quarter. Whether you are playing an online game or an online casino (온라인 카지노) having the right mobile phone can make a difference in enjoying the game or not. Check our list of …
Last year, as you can see below, we got to speak with Saygus about their new V2 handset. Tim Rush, their VP of Public Relations, showed me their engineering samples as they sought to create a really high-end phone for the slightly more geeky customer, like myself. Packing …
Finding a good, cheap Android tablet can be a hit-and-miss affair at times, but we’re lucky in the sense that we already have one of these newly-announced Vodafone Tab speed 6 tablets right here, and you can read our thoughts on it tomorrow when the review goes …
Chinese phone manufacturer Huawei (which is the parent company of the Honor brand) continues its stride and for world dominance (in the phone world that it is), with the company’s latest device – the P9. Leaks now contain further detail, including pictures and information on a “Lite” and …
