We’ve not long to wait now – the Find 7 looks to be getting announced on March 19th, which is this coming Wednesday. We’ve already covered this quite a bit and now there’s a tad more information for us to sift through. Rumours now say that there’ll be …

“I like the Windows Phone platform, but I couldn’t have it as my only phone”, is something I hear all the time. Unfortunately there’s a lot of merit to that statement and, even now, I agree. Huawei has heard our gripes and is doing something about them. Sort …
Following announcing the HTC Desire 816, the Taiwanese company has stated that it has received 450,000 pre-orders in just 72 hours. Now the mid-range device is believed to heading to the UK, with a price tag around £315 (but this has not yet been confirmed). Spec’s incude Android …
We’ve seen the Moto X already, but after we met Lenovo at Mobile World Congress we had to ask about Motorola. The team at Lenovo were being pretty cagey about their Motorola intentions, merely stating that there were a number of contracts and legal hurdles that needed approving …
The smash hit puzzle game that has enraptured iOS users this year has finally found its way into the hands of Android users. Yes, I’m talking about Threes!, the game that appears to have made basic maths cool again. The premise is simple: merge 2 and 1 tiles …
It has come to that time again, the one that occurs every two years and send shivers down the spine of every mobile phone addict… upgrade time. As yet I haven’t had the barrage of phone calls from my network asking me to upgrade to whatever random handset …
If you are wanting to buy your very own Samsung Galaxy S5 and are picking EE as your network of choice, the network has today announced pre-orders will start on the 28th March. No details on pricing yet, we assume this will be a secret for a while …
I just don’t get exclusivity deals, in my eyes it only benefits the manufacturer and the retailer, not the consumer and the Garmin VivoFit fitness band is one such tie up. With it being available exclusively at John Lewis. The NEW Garmin vívofit is the only fitness band …
So, you know that the Moto G is cheap and you can get it for £100 on Vodafone, but what if you want it on another network, or SIM free? Well, right now you can actually get £10 off any price on the Tesco Direct website. I stumbled …
This year I attended Mobile Would Congress once again and took a few mobile goodies with me of course to cover the conference. Last year I was able to get all my photos from a Sony Xperia Z and post using my MacBook Air in the press area …
You may not be fussed about the launch of the Oppo Find 7 (or you may be squirming with excitement like me), but I defy anyone to be unimpressed by the invites for the announcement event that have gone out to the Chinese press. They are so impressive …
Well, this has been leaking all over the internet for quite some weeks now. We know pretty much everything about the handset and today got the low-down on the Duo Camera setup at the rear. Now the HTC 2014 flagship, previously known as the HTC M8, has been …
The as of yet unannounced all new HTC One has been leaked a lot recently. It seems no NDA is worth the paper it’s written and that no one is trustworthy anymore. The latest leak is to do with the dual rear camera which many people have been …
If there’s one thing that’s clear, its that HTC would never be able to run a submarine. All those leaks would have killed them a long time ago. On the other hand, its nice to be able to see the successor to the HTC One just one more …
One of our eagle eyed staff noticed that the Z1 Compact has now been added to the Coming Soon section of the Vodafone blog. Although they don’t have pricing up yet, it will probably be just a matter of time. Personally, it’s one of the ‘mini’ handsets that …
Oppo may as well just announce its latest flagship now, because it seems like it’s hell-bent on leaking all its own data before the launch event on 19th March in Beijing! In the latest development we see confirmation of the key specs of the Find 7 scribbled on …
You might want to check for updates to the system firmware if you answered yes. It seems that the KitKat update is rolling out now. Obviously if you’ve got a network model then they’re going to delay it a bit, but hey if like me you’ve got a …
Now, you have to be pretty quick on this one as Vodafone are restricting the deal to the first 3000 orders only. If you’re looking ahead to the Xperia Z2 as you next handset and want to bag a free TV, Vodafone today have an offer to give …
No, this isn’t the old HTC One, this is the new One one. We were calling it the HTC One 2 for a bit (one, two, testing, testing, one, two) but now it seems that it’ll be called The All New HTC One. Or the HTC One 2014. …
Leaky old evleaks has spoilt HTC’s party once again with a tweet consisting of the image above, and the wording: Holes. Time. Colors. Also, like its predecessor, look for M8 to arrive as a Google Play Edition. The second statement is pretty self explanatory, but the picture seems …
Whilst Oppo is busy leaking veiled images and suspiciously high resolution photos that beat around the bush as to what its new flagship phone is going to look like, design award website Red Dot 21 has gone and published some full-frontal renders of the Find 7. The page …
Seriously, I’m really going to struggle to stretch this post out to any more than two paragraphs. It’s a teaser video for the next big Angry Birds game from Rovio. All we know is what is revealed here, which is the fact that it… A) Involves Angry Birds …
In a legal battle that has been going on for the last 20 years (or so it seems), Apple have been fighting with Samsung about patent infringement in pretty much any court that will listen to them. The original and biggest case is the one that has been …

During our time with Lenovo last week we got chance to have a look at a couple of software additions that you’ll find on their new handsets. The first is SHAREit – which is an app you can download on iPhone and Android. It’s an incredibly simple way …
Free stuff. Everyone loves free stuff, so why not give this app a try to get yourself some for merely having fun? Although it doesn’t work outside the USA just yet, the idea behind Hasoffer is simple enough. You play free games and get free stuff in return. The …

Naming an app must be a difficult task, if I was tasked to do that I’d be there for weeks thinking and thinking what to call it. So I can entirely understand what the confusingly named Recent is all about. Picture the scene, you have taken a load …
That’s the thing with Mobile World Congress. You go out there, you do about 20 miles of running about, then a few days later you sit back and find that one of your posts never made it past the “draft” stage. I blame the sheer fact that I …
Acer keep on releasing products, year in year out. Seemingly regardless of whether or not the product will sell, it just like clockwork, another year another tablet. The Iconia B1-720 is the latest in their budget range of 7″ Android tablets, the Iconia B range offer reasonable specs …

Amazingly I’ve still not unpacked my Mobile World Congress, but the innovations I saw on devices like the YotaPhone have stuck with me. This year my flight had relaxed the rules on electronic gadgets, and you can use them – albeit in flight mode – from gate to …
If you use your smartphone or tablet as a sat-nav system you may find that it goes flat when left overnight in your motor. The reason, if you do choose to leave your device in your car and on display (which is usually a bad idea), is that …
A few of you have been getting in touch with us after the new KitKat update appeared as an available download on your HTC One. However, it looks like the brakes have been applied to the roll-out after “difficulties” occurred.. We are aware that a limited number of …
