It has been recently reported that the LG G3 was outselling the Samsung Galaxy S5 in South Korea, well now we’re learning exactly how well. According to a new report, over 100,000 units of the smartphone have already been sold since its launch in the region on the …
Over the past few months the internet has been rumouring the existence of a Amazon phone, to join their line up of e – readers, tablets and now set top boxes. The phone is expected to feature multiple front-facing cameras for a 3D user interface that reacts to …
There is nothing worse than a badly scratched phone, it looks horrible and reduces your resale value immensely, so having a screen protector is a great investment. I have tried Zagg Invisible Shields but I’m not a fan of the feel of the original ones, although the HD …
Remember the fuss about a Nokia phone running Android? Is it still one of your deepest darkest desires? Well it looks like Microsoft are actually going to release another Android phone, again for emerging markets and again with a pretty basic spec. So no Android version of the …
Sony have sent us some pictures of their slim new phone. Renowned photographer Benjamin Kaufmann took the shots of the stainless steel handset and, I have to say, they’re pretty beautiful. It is, according to Sony, the slimmest 5.3″ smartphone in the world and has a HD Triluminos …
Recently Motorola have got a bit of a name for themselves, in that they release the latest versions of Android pretty damn quickly after Google release it. This time round it’s going to be no different, as Motorola US have announced the availability for the Moto X and …
The poor Cat B15. We hosed it down, threw it in the bath and then a digger rolled over it. Somehow it kept coming back for more, no matter how much abuse we gave it. We did a full Cat B15 review but today a newer version has …
The HTC One M8 is possibly one of the best looking phones ever. HTC really have the while design aspect nailed, which in my opinion is partly down to the fact it’s made of one piece of aluminium. So when HTC dilute that wonderful design with variants for …
To own a Nexus device means three things. You want Android updates as soon as humanly possible, you want a device that you want a wide range of easily installable custom ROMs and also you don’t mind horrific battery life. Well today is one of those days that …
Over the years I’ve not really had much time for Sony, I’ve had a play with most of their devices and I’ve never really been that impressed. Yes the build quality and design on the Z, Z1 and the Z1 Compact is rather splendid, but something always ruined …
Bigger is better, right? Phones certainly seem to be getting bigger each year and certain companies keep pushing the boundaries of what we call a phone, what we call a phablet and what we call a tablet. The latest company to push this are Samsung with the recently …
It might sound a bit like an Android phone and look like one, but this is in fact a new Tizen-based smartphone from Samsung. It’s the first Tizen smartphone we’ve seen after Samsung worked on the Galaxy Gear smartwatch which used the same OS. We’ve already got a …
I recently received the Acer Z5 budget smartphone through for review, and despite there being a dual-SIM variant, this is the single SIM version. After unboxing my first impressions were… “Hang on, someone has put a Nexus 5 in here by mistake!” Good Points Good feel in the …
I’m not going mad am I? Samsung did definitely tell us that the Galaxy K Zoom would be available two days ago, but now it seems that the handset will actually be available today. “Selected” online and high street retailers will be selling the phone, including Carphone Warehouse …
Samsung seem to be on a wearable trend at the moment, with recent leak, and of course the release of the Gear 2, Gear Neo and Gear Fit. Now Samsung have announced the Simbad, which is best described as a cross between the core in a Sony Smartband …
Following on from the Oppo N1 with its gigantic 5.9-inch screen and a 206-degree rotating camera, today the company has unveiled a mini version of the N1 … called… errr… the mini. Now for a device named “mini”, a 5 inch screen device perhaps isn’t the first thing …
After many leaks on the internet, the HTC M8 Ace has now appeared on HTC China’s website. If reveals the handset in several colours including red, blue, black and white. Making it out of reduced costs but does give the Ace a seamless look, similar to last year’s …
Whoway? Who are they? The answer of this question is really a simple one. Huawei are the people who have been, and continue to, make the equipment that powers our mobile networks. It’s the kit that keeps us all talking to each other, but it’s mostly hidden in cabinets. They’ve …
Not long after we had the news about Windows Phone getting a nice update to BBC iPlayer, we see another press release from the BBC to tell us about the updated Android and iOS version. This seems to follow on from the smart TV update in March, so …
You’ll have seen services like this before I’m sure. Oh and yes, I’m sure there’s a great deal of you who use Google Hangouts or WhatsApp to keep in touch too, but MightyText seems to have a rather slick solution if texting off your smartphone is becoming a …
I was present at the unveiling of the what is possibly the most leaked phone of 2014. LG threw launch events around the world to really get the word out there about their new flagship device – the G3. As I was at the event with my camera …
Today LG have announced the successor to the hugely successful and rather unique G2 the ridiculously leaked G3. The G3 has seen more leaks than a new phone should get really, with some of them actually coming from LG themselves. We were at the event in London today …
There was little to find out about the new LG G3 which was announced today, mainly due to all the leaks, dummy phones and even LG posting a launch page ahead of time. With the device now official and announced to the world, Three have already started to …
We’re in London today at the LG G3 event which the lovely people at LG decided to Live Stream on YouTube. Which should start at 6pm. So what we’re going to do tonight is to update this article with some live pictures from the event and then once …
In a recent application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Samsung have given some hints about what they think a new smartwatch could look like and how a user could interact with it. The answer to the design at least, is very similar to the …
Got a sticker on the back of your company car, van or lorry that asks people to judge your driving? How about proving it to your boss? Flo, an Android app, is part game, part driving improvement. You download it, get in your car, stick your phone on …
My recent charity cycle ride (feel free to donate) was all “on road”, so a quick check of Google Maps would let me know where the next turning was. Now, if you’re planning to go off road then you’re going to need something a bit better. Finding your …
I love it when you guys email us. Do that more. Go on, give us a nudge on the contact form. If you have anything we should be talking about here, give us a yell. Szuting Chao has given us an email because he’s seen the HTC One …
I’m sure we’ve all had those visits to the services on the motorway. Usually, in between a coffee and a quick “comfort break” you’ll see one of those “Dancing Stage” machines. Perhaps, if you’re on a night out and had a few “shandies”, you’ll probably try and have …
We’ve already seen LG announce details of the case for the G3 before it’s even been announced (which was… weird) and last night we saw a massive stack of videos. Now another shot has appeared, courtesy of the usual suspect. Blimey, just a few leaks then! Now, we …
Following the leak of promotional slides and the announcement of the QuickCircle case you might think there is nothing left to announce on Tuesday at the official launch, and with the leak of these latest promotional videos you might be right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYLM_YFoD1g The first shows off the design of the …
EE as a brand have been around for 2 years now. They hit the headlines after launching 4G services nearly a full year ahead of the competition. Both Orange and T-Mobile brands have had quite a few devices made for them by manufacturers already, but with 4G being …
The all-new budget Moto E just got a little cheaper thanks to a cheeky little discount code you can apply at Tesco Direct. Whack in the code TDX-TH6W and you’ll get £10 off the price, bringing it down from £79.99 to £69.99, then you can pop into Tesco …
The world of music and entertainment has changed significantly over the last decade or so. Before that, we saw vinyl getting replaced by CD’s and then MP3’s. In the last decade people have switched from traditional brick-and-mortar shops to downloading tunes online. However, streaming music services like Spotify …
Fancy the Samsung K Zoom? You’ve not got long to wait. According to the Samsung website the blue one will along a little later (June 13th) but you can get the black and white one on May 29th – a week today. Either way, the price (unlocked) for …
LG have rather peculiarly announced a case for a phone that they haven’t yet announced. Which gives them less to talk about on Tuesday. So it appears to be similar to other flip cases, apart from the fact it’s circular. LG reckon you don’t need to actually open …
In what seems to be becoming a trend, the details of the LG G3 have leaked. This time it’s via LGs own marketing slides with a bit of help from someone taking pictures they probably shouldn’t have been. Above is the key slide that gives all the main …
EE have also today announced a new tablet today. It is “The UK’s most affordable 4G tablet” which is this, the Eagle. It’s a rebranded 8″ Huawei tablet and comes with a quad-core CPU, 5 megapixel shooter, 16GB of storage (plus you get a microSD for more space) …
The Oppo N1 was a cracking great old big phone, Ronnie reviewed it a few months ago and in line with the rest of the world Ronnie decided that it was just a bit too big and didn’t have 4G. Oppo seem to have decided to addressed these …
Head down to Soho this Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday and you can watch some pretty interesting things. Phones 4u, along with a stack of Sony Xperia Z2 handsets, will be showing films like Anchorman 2, Gravity and Frozen on the handsets with some clever noise-cancelling headphones. They’re …
