We’re quickly heading towards the credit-card bashing Black Friday sales and, amongst the emails this morning, I spotted that Honor were getting ready to drop their already-cheap Honor 8 to just £299 on Friday. The handset, which normally retails at £369.99, has two 4-core processors, a 5.2″ Full …

I got a stonking deal at the start of this year when I switched to Vodafone (have a read about that here if you’re interested). Now there’s a very similar one for just 20p more than I paid. Plus you get unlimited texts, unlimited calls, 4GB of roaming …

There’s definitely no shortage of little sticks around, and if your box has the need, you can now shove this Roku Streaming Stick 3500 in. Now available for a mere £19.99, that’s half the original price and you also get 3 free HD movies from Wuaki when you …

Whether it’s for a friend, relative or perhaps a cheeky little gift to yourself, the Amazon Black Friday deal on this 64GB SanDisk microSD card is really rather good. For £18.99 (down from £23.99) you get a branded microSD card which should give you more than enough space …

Something very weird started happening in 2016. Elections and referendums have resulted in people voting for insane / controversial / new directions, depending on your opinion. The US President-elect, Donald Trump, isn’t known for “holding back” and probably doesn’t subscribe to being “politically correct” about anything. Likewise, you …

Honor appear to have re-branded Armistice Day as vMall “Singles Day” today and they’re doing “Crazy Hours” where, from 8AM and on the hour after that, you can purchase 1 Honor 8, 1 Honor 7 Premium, 1 Honor 7 and 1 Honor Band Z1 for just £1. Their …

Just in case you weren’t aware, there are only 8 weeks to go until Christmas. This year, the same as previous years, electronic gadgetry will be the top of many a Christmas list. But let’s be honest, the latest technology isn’t the cheapest, so how about a device …

We often highlight microSD cards, but it’s not often that we get one which is quite as large as this one. A massive 200GB of additional storage thanks to this SanDisk card, and it’s been reduced to £59.99. Whilst that still might seem like quite a bit of …

With inexpensive handsets entering the market from the likes of OnePlus, WileyFox and co, the proposition of entering a SIM only contract is far more appealing to your pocket as oppose to signing up to 24-month handset contracts. Recently my 24-month contract ended on EE but I have …

We don’t normally do this, but some guy from TopCashback has gone through the various places that you can purchase the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to see which one offers the best cash-back deal. It’s pre-order day today and we’ve seen several network websites go …

It’s Bank Holiday morning here in England and, I’ll admit, I drank a little too much yesterday. However, I’m still on the hunt for deals and, because it’s the Bank Holiday weekend, there’s a pretty good offer on this microSD card, which comes with a reader too. Today …

“If it’s too good to be true, it often is.” “Learn from others mistakes and take heed.” “Be wary of the unbranded Chinese gadget.” “Be careful on eBay!” These are maxims to live by…. and that I have regularly ….ignored. My latest crowning glory on this front has …

So, you’ve got yourself one of the newest phones on the market with all the fancy pants features that you want. It is all going swimmingly. You’re downloading apps, getting it all just so. Then, without warning, up pops the all too familiar sign on the screen saying …

Here at Coolsmartphone we love a good bargain, and when this news popped up we just had to share it with you. It appears that someone at Vodafone UK has gone completely mad, as the company is blazing a trail within the industry by abolishing the line rental …

Fancy a bit of nostalgia? Yeah you do. How about a classic rally game, packed with all those brilliant cars that you probably still see boy racers driving around in today? Colin McCray Rally has got the graphics, the gameplay and the foot-down fun. Plus, as I type, it’s …

Are you sick of coming up against a mobile signal black spot (first world problems and all that)? Take my house for instance, upstairs I get a 4G signal giving 40Mbps download speeds, go downstairs Nothing,  Nada. Well this is where Anywhere SIM may be the answer. It’ll …

Head over to the Apple website and a 64GB iPhone 6s will set you back £619. The 128GB one will cost you £699. However, right now giffgaff have dropped the price of this and lots of other handsets. So, head over to their site and you can get …

  The Black Friday frenzy that has swept the US for the last few years has certainly made its mark on the UK.  Not content to have one day of shopping craziness per year, Amazon is having a ‘Prime Day’ on Tuesday 12 July.  The website explains what …

I’ve reached the end of an EE SIM-only deal that I took out last year. It should’ve been £20.99 but I managed to get it down to £16.99 per month for 4GB of data and enough minutes to keep me waffling to the missus. However, that deal is …

The Moto G handsets have always been known as good value and good quality phones. Now, the Moto G4 that we covered a short while ago is available to buy. Expansys have it unlocked for £168.99 and John Lewis for £159.95. You can also find it for £156 …

This weekend was my tenth wedding anniversary. It really doesn’t seem like a decade. Not at all. I remember being at the church, going on honeymoon and even writing about it here just five minutes ago. What happened eh ? We spent most of the weekend celebrating. On …

If you liked the look of the Glory P1 Mini power bank we reviewed on Saturday, listen up friends. We’ve got a bit of an offer on for you. If you buy it you’ll find that there’s a microUSB cable in the box. However, you can get another …

If you’re a Three customer, or an ex-Three customer, you may have been give a new deal in recent months which didn’t seem so great. So, fancy going back? Or getting an additional deal? Or grinding your teeth while new customers possibly get a better deal than you? …

Good morning Sunday readers. I imagine you sitting in your modem kitchen, surrounded by your kids, your beautiful wife, a couple of dogs and you’re perhaps nibbling on a croissant as you read this. Now I’m here to make that all seem pointless. I’m here to deliver the …

This afternoon I was having a chat with a colleague. He, like many people, is looking for a good-quality smartphone without paying big bucks. It’s a big trend in my eyes. I’m hearing less and less people that are taking traditional two-year deals and instead they’re going for …

Well, the title of this post has pretty much explained everything hasn’t it? Basically this is a brand new item, being sold by Currys / PC World through eBay. The Chromecast Audio works in the same way as a regular TV Chromecast, but it’ll instead blast the streaming …

The sun is out, the sky is blue.. Time for another great gadget deal! This time it’s from Tesco and it’s the 7″ Amazon Fire tablet. It’s now reduced to a pretty unbelievable £39 and you can get it in black, blue or magenta. There’s free delivery or …

We get a lot of review kit here at Coolsmartphone. What we try and do now is, after reviewing something, get a nice discount code for you guys to use. So, here’s another one. This is for the Lumsin 5-port wall charger that we reviewed just the other …

A new website has just launched which compares SIM-free and network-free phone deals. It should, according to the people behind it, ensure that you get the best deal on your next mobile and / or talk plan. They estimate that the average consumer will save £330 buying from …

My experience of streaming TV at the weekend was, let me tell you, thoroughly disappointing. My son wanted to watch Iron Man 2 and so I set off trying to find a streaming service offering it. That bit alone was tricky. We couldn’t find a page detailing what …

Walking around with that low battery notice on your phone is always going to put you on edge. So, to charge on the move, your going to need something like this. This is the Lumsing Harmonica 10,400mAh dual-port power bank and yes, it really is designed to look …

OK, weird one this. If you want to get yourself a brand new Google Nexus 6P, just head to the Google Play Store. It’s easy. It’s marked up at £449 for the 32GB version, £499 for the 64GB one and £579 for the 128GB version. Trouble is, all …

It seems a bizarre and almost desperate pitch. Imagine a smartphone manufacturer offering up a £469.99 smartphone and then, if you buy it, giving you a phone worth £419.99 completely free. That’s be insane. You’d think that the manufacturer had totally lost the plot. You’d think that they …

If you just want an e-reader and you’re not worried about all the extra gubbins, Amazon have lopped £22 off their Paperwhite today. There’s free delivery on this too, and this has got a battery that will last for weeks rather than hours. No colour screen, no apps, …

We live in an amazing age where you can buy a reasonable spec computer for less than £300. However, this price usually gets you a non-touch-screen laptop tloaded with compromises and inferior components. The BravoWin 10KT is looking to challenge that perception and show that you can get a …

Come close dear friends, because I have a confession. My normal, “go-to” handset has (for quite some time now) been the LG G4. I’m a big fan of the thing, but since the Huawei P9 launch event I’ve had that phone in my pocket instead. I can qualify …

Some time ago I took out a 12 month EE SIM-only plan. It was a pretty good deal I thought, and delivered 4GB of data every month for £19.99. Not bad, but it was made even better thanks to a cashback offer I’d grabbed. It brought the monthly …

Newly-released high-end phones are always going to be expensive,  and the LG G5 is no exception. If you look on most online stores and want to get the SIM-free version it’s going to set you back around £529. However, there is a way to get it for £391.99 …
