Remember our HTC Desire 500 review? Well, this is the Desire 300, and it’s a …. bit… different. The Desire 500 has a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8 megapixel and 1.6 megapixel camera. This Desire 300 has a dual-core 1GHz CPU and a 5 megapixel shooter with a …
I like Android. It has lots of customisation options, the widgets are great, there are lots of free apps and there are plenty of alternative launchers and even ROMs to use if you get bored of your default settings. However this links to most people’s major bugbear – …
Me and phone cases have a colourful history, I swing from wanting a huge super protective case with a built in screen protector, through to a slimline but cushioned case and even some days I go a bit mad and use a phone naked. My Note 3 is …

Aviate is one of the clever predictive launchers that try to guess where you are, what apps you’re going to use and now with the latest update that gets a little bit more clever. We’ve hit the ground running here at Yahoo and have been listening attentively to …
With just over a week to go until Mobile World Congress kicks off in Barcelona, LG have today announced the G Pro 2 device to the world. Something worth noting is that at present only Korea is confirmed to be selling this device, no news on availability anywhere …
I don’t often “do” this whole Groupon thing but here’s a rather fine deal on the Google Nexus 5. If you buy it from Google direct you’ll be paying £299 for the 16GB version and then another £10 to have it delivered. Groupon, for the next few days …

Where do I start really? This is a game that got people talking. Sure, it didn’t always gain positive comments, but it lit the social media candle and soon turned into a bonfire. It’s become the most popular app so far this year, but has now been taken …
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 has something that isn’t very abundant in the Android tablet world: innovation. OK, the design may look like an Apple Mac keyboard, but it makes for an interesting, and often pleasant, user experience. Good Design Build quality Some of the Lenovo software MicroSD …
Three have just posted one of their hands-on videos featuring the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. This smaller Z1 is not a ‘mini’ by any means as it packs the same processor, memory and amazing 20.7 megapixel camera the older Z1 did. The only differences are a 720p screen …
The company that brought us the Orange SPV, Desire, Hero and Wildfire is having a few money issues at the moment. HTC, until fairly recently, had a huge range of phones and pretty much everyone owned one or knew someone that did. Last year we saw a big …
Another day, another leak. That HTC M8, which looks a lot like the HTC One, has appeared once more and it seems that it was indeed an additional camera we saw ealier. This up-close super-blurry shot shows the additional camera, which we assume is either designed to do …

Help me. Help me now. I’m getting emails from companies stating that an Amazon Kindle is an ideal present for your girlfriend or wife this Valentines Day. If I gave a flippin’ Amazon Kindle to my wife it would probably get inserted into my person somewhere. But, if …
If you see me running around Mobile World Congress in Barcelona you’ll no doubt notice my rather battered Sony Vaio. The Vaio laptop has been my brand of choice over the years, but today Sony have annouced that it’ll sell their PC business and put everything into smartphones …
During this time of year we all like to snuggle down into our slankets and watch 30 overgrown men (I use the term in the loosest possibe sense) beat each other up on a grassy pitch at the weekend. No I am not talking about a trip to Glasgow …

Today we were sent a press release to say that the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 will be on sale today with a note on it saying that it will be on sale tomorrow (06.02.14)! Panic not, then, if you’re after a gigantic Samsung Tablet and you forgot …
