Everyone loves a bargain, particularly in the cold bleak post-Christmas days of January. To brighten our mood, Tesco is currently offering 20% off iTunes gift cards. The deal is certainly available online but there’s no information about whether it is also available in-store. If any readers find the …
Want a Chromecast? Want a free one? Have a gander at this broadband offer from an outfit called Fuel Broadband. Instead of getting sucked into a provider who wants to offer mobile calls, phone calls, broadband and a TV package, they’re binning the add-ons and launching a £2 …
Here we go, I’m on the hunt for cheap Chinese phones again. We’ve actually got a couple of handsets from the not-so-well-known manufacturers in on test at the moment and we’ll be bringing you a review pretty soon. Until then, here’s the Elephone P5000. It’s normally $239.99 (£158.67) …
If you’re after a PlayStation 3 console or some Beats headphones then the stock of the now-defunct Phones 4u is a good place to start. Starting tomorrow with viewings at 10AM, the bidding starts now on the auctioneers website. There’s also Bluetooth headsets, smartwatches and tablets with pretty …
If you’ve got any money left after Black Friday, Panic Tuesday, Boxing Day and the January Sales then I’m quite frankly astonished. However, if there is a bit still floating around in your wallet then you could perhaps treat yourself to this easily-unlockable Motorola Moto G 4G, which …
You may remember us reviewing the 40 watt version of this earlier this year. Now the 25 watt version is discounted. Both basically present 5 USB ports for charging. You can then plug your phone, tablet, iPad, Bluetooth speaker and anything else that charges from USB into it. …
Earlier I spotted a 32GB storage card. However, you guys said I should be looking on MyMemory instead. So I did and, hey presto, this class 10 microSD popped up. It’s a 64GB this time and you can bag one for a mere £17.99 delivered. Oh, and a …
It’s been a full 5 days since I posted last and, I must confess, that’s probably been the longest break I’ve had for a while. So, if you’ve had a tablet or a new phone for Christmas, get yourself a microSD card here. It’s a 32GB Class 10 …
It’s Christmas Eve. Can you believe it? At this festive time of year we should stop and give thanks. Thanks to all the dedicated writers for keeping this site going, thanks to you guys for coming every day and thanks to all the press agencies, mobile makers and …
Finally we are able to purchase a Nexus 9 LTE in the UK, but not from where you think. Amazon are currently showing that they have some Nexus 9 LTE variants in Black in stock.. Unfortunately since this screenshot was taken the price has gone back up to …
Fancy a good deal? Check out the Moto G for a possible pre-Christmas gift to yourself or someone else. It’s the 5″ 2nd generation model with 8GB storage and dual SIM. You can get it for just £119.95 at the moment and, if you hunt around the various …
Come on now, let’s not panic. We’ve still got a whole week until Christmas. Plenty of time. No need to … wait… that’s not very long at all is it? How about a cheap deal on the Google Glass Explorer Edition? Head over to Google Play and you …
Remember my review of the Rocomo GT-I9500? well, I’ve been on the hunt for cheap Android kit again and this time the 5″ Elephone P6000 has caught my eye. It’s on presale at the moment but will cost you just $169.99, which works out at around £108.60. This …
It’s that time of year again, so we’re on the hunt for deals and bargains on the internet. One that caught my eye, purely as a cheeky gift for myself, was this Hibsan Nano quadcopter. Bigger (and more expensive) versions equipped with cameras have been making the news …
It’s always a sad day when good businesses close but, on the upside, there are potential bargains to be had! The Phones4U administrators are auctioning off surplus stock with some decent deals available. The stock has been split across several auctions and at the last look they had …
There is a 25GB limit though. UK TV/Phone/Broadband supplier Sky has announced a new broadband package. For those interested, it’ll cost just £10 a month for up to 38Mbps fibre internet. However, it’s really for those who don’t use too much data as it is capped to a limit …
My kitchen ceiling is falling in because the bath is leaking. It’s a mess I can tell you and I’m well narked off because it’s about the fourth thing to go wrong this week. But no, I’m not leaving you my friends. I’m hear to tell you about …
If you’re an Aldi shopper then, from Thursday next week, you might well spot a rather cheap Medion 10.1″ tablet. It’s powered by a quad-core Atom CPU and has 32GB of on-board storage. Other specs include a 5 megapixel (rear) and 2 megapixel (front) camera, GPS, WiFi and …
Everything seems to charge off a USB port doesn’t it? Your phone, your tablet, your fitness band, your smartwatch, your Bluetooth speakers and more. There you are, with chargers cluttering up the place and every socket dedicated to housing one. There is a better way my friends, and …
OK, I’ll be quick with this one as Aran is going to update you on all the Vodafone Black Friday / weekend deals in a moment, but you can bag yourself the rather nice LG G2 (which we lovingly reviewed here) for a mere £150. That’s not an …
We’ll be running quite a few deals today, but you must admit, with money tight, shops limiting deals and websites clearly unable to cope with the load, it’s turning nasty. Frustrations are already running high. On Good Morning Britain a simple live shot of Asda opening the doors …
There’s nothing like the sense of togetherness at Christmas time, so it’s great to see people ramming each other out of the way and fighting in stores to get their hands on a bargain. With finances stretched, we’re either punching people in shops or going online and generally …
Now, let’s admit it. You’ve probably not heard of Karbonn Mobile. They are, however, entering into the lower end of the Android smartphone market and, right now, you can get their flagship – the Karbonn Sparkle from Amazon for just £129.99. That’ll get you Android 4.4, 5 megapixel …
There’s a number of offers available on Lumia. First of all, the Nokia Lumia 1020, which we reviewed here, is down to £169.99 on O2 Pay As You Go. You can get it in yellow or black and there’s a free grip with it too. Head to the …
The Amazon Fire Phone. It’s proving to be a bit “marmite”, you either love it or hate it. The handset has a 4.7″ 1280×720 pixel screen at 315ppi, 13 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi etc. The reviews may be a bit mixed, and you have to be prepared to …
Want something really cheap? I mean really, really cheap? The Lumia 530 was already cheap, but Carphone Warehouse are knocking it down to £14.95 on a Pay As You Go upgrade right now as part of their Black Friday deals. It’s available right now and runs until Tuesday. …
Last night we mentioned that Tesco had reduced the price of the Chromecast to £18. Actually it seems like they’re not the only ones, and if you’re unable to reach their website you can instead click over to Amazon, where it’s retailing for the same price as part …
OK, here we go. Ready for the insanity? Black Friday, as you’ll all know, marks that horrific day, just 10 years ago, when the Coolsmartphone server went off-line for a day. People went mental, they put their phones down and went into stores, trying to find phones and …
That time is nearly upon when the internet goes crazy for one whole day to try an get you buThey the latest products at cut down prices. Now, whilst we won’t see the door buster deals that are present in the States, more and more companies are jumping …
A couple of us writers here in Coolsmartphone towers use Chromebooks. I for one love my HP11. In the past, when you purchased a new Chromebook, Google would give you 100GB of Google Drive storage free. This would last for two years and would act as a little …
I do rather like the LG G3. It’s the first LG device I’ve owned in a long, long time and overall I’m very impressed. It packs a 1440×2560 5.5″ inch screen at 534ppi WiFi, Bluetooth 4, 4G and a 13 megapixel camera at the back with laser focus. …
Well now, I’m not totally sure on this thing. It starts off as a pretty decent cheap tablet – this is £69.99 and has a Tegra Quad Core CPU. There’s 16GB storage, 1GB RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and a 7″ screen which is 1280×800. It has a 4100mAh …
If, like me, you couldn’t give a baboon’s buttocks about the US and Canadian traditions of Thanksgiving, you might have missed out on the associated shopping days and the deals that can be had across the Atlantic. The idea is simple: for the Thanksgiving weekend most people generally get …
This, my fine friends, is the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. I reviewed it about a year ago. There’s me sitting in my car with the phone, which was about £300 at the time (and indeed you’ll still find it for £299 from Samsung direct) however…. Today Three are …
Today UK independent phone retailer Carphone Warehouse announced that it would be exclusively stocking the flagship handset, the HTC One (M8), in blue for the first time in the UK. This striking coloured version of the phone will be available exclusively from the Carphone Warehouse, for those who …
If you’re after the Oneplus One then OppoMart seem to have trimmed the price a little. Instead of $399 (£252.14) it’s reduced by $50 if you enter the code “ONE50F” at the checkout. This’ll bring it down to $349, or £220.55, plus you get an official case. Ah, …
It’s that time of year when you should be thinking of gifts for others. Kids are making lists, your wife or girlfriend wants something “special” that you’ve “put thought into” but somehow you find yourself in the gadget shops on your lunch break, staring at the deals and …
Ever since the Nexus 6 announcement, some of the Android faithful over here in the UK have been holding their breath as they waited for the UK pricing of the $649 phablet to be announced. At today’s exchange rates, that would equate to the £400 region which would …
Sorry. At least we’re not that SCS furniture store trying to sell you a sofa with a free carpet and delivery in time for Christmas every 15 blinkin’ minutes eh? No, this is a post about some mobile deals that you can get from Tesco. I popped in …
The first pre-orders for the Lumia 830 are being despatched today. Last week we detailed some of the prices for the phone, but for anyone looking to purchase it the best deal at the moment is with, wait for it, Woolworths. Yes, the long forgotten face of …
