Hey you. Want to buy yourself a watch? Fancy getting yourself one of those clever smartwatches? How’s £109 sound? I know! Good right? This is the Go Watch. It’s actually powered by Android 4.3 and there’s a whole developer portal where apps can be published out. The 1.54″ …
Wireless charging is becoming something I look for in a new device, mainly down to ease of use. I’m lazy basically, just plonking down a phone onto a charging pad is easy, plugging a cable in is comparatively complicated and time consuming (if you add up all of …
With the festive season fast approaching it’s important to remember that drinking and driving really don’t mix. For those that have had a few the night before, or who’s job requires regular testing, there’s now a new breathalyser which is small enough to hang off your keys. Not …
Traditional Satellite navigation systems were once upon a time a must have for anyone that regularly undertook long journeys to far away places. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epSURT21hxs With the launch of Google maps, Apple maps and the vast array of other mapping solutions available for mobile phones the demand for Sat-Navs …
Those of you who are lovely enough, smart enough, handsome enough and intelligent enough to read our site regularly will know about the Cat B15 smartphone. It’s a rough, tough and solid Android smartphone by the people who make those big yellow diggers. Now, if you’re not ready …
Samsung don’t appear to share my huge dislike of that media-hungry do-anything-for-fame “artist” called Miley Cyrus. They’ve recently mentioned her in an advert for their Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch. The picture, as you can see below, shows a pair of pants and relates to Miley and her semi-clad …
A device that is light, easy to carry around with you. It’ll tell you the time. It’s thin and has a touch screen that’s bright enough to use in direct sunlight. Not only that, but you can see calls, texts and emails coming in. What is it? Well, …
Ahh wait, it’s not real water. However, it is real electric. Sure, you could buy any old charger, but you wouldn’t be getting one that looks like a tap now would you? This, my friends is, well… there’s no other way of saying this.. a charger that looks …
In recent times when a new phone is released it’s a bit of a struggle to get a decent case for it for the first few weeks. The Nexus 5 was no exception as soon as I had ordered my Nexus 5 I set about ordering some cases, …
When I was a kid I wanted a BigTrak. It was a programmable toy car / tank and you could get it to drop an apple off for your dad. I thought it was the best thing ever. I wanted one so much it hurt. It hurt deep …
I think we’re getting to the point here at Coolsmartphone where nothing really surprises us any more. The HTC One is a beautiful thing and comes with the potent BoomSound tech. You know that, we know that. It gives those tunes a much-needed “whoomph”. So, your slender and …
Yes, that lady is talking right into her pinky. Yes, she has her thumb wedged firmly into her orifice. Oooo yeah, just think how waxy that thumb is going to be right now. So, unless you’ve not guessed already, these are the Bluetooth Gloves from Firebox.com and, as …
The supermarket chain have slashed prices on their range of posh “Finest” tablet cases. There’s a fairly sizable range to choose from and they make rather nice presents too. Whilst looking for my “special cream” I found these. Firstly, this canvas iPad Mini car is down from £15 …
Smartwatches seem to be taking off sharply recently with the advent of the Samsung Galaxy Gear and Sony Smartwatch series. So far we have seen nothing majorly “innovative” that has stood out with most of these wearable devices acting as an extension to your smartphone. Enter to the …
Come on, get off the sofa. Let’s go for a run. Yeah, sure, it’s cold and raining, but we can do this. We’re gonna feel the burn. We’re gonna flex those muscles! YEAHHHHHH Oh, OK. Let’s not, let’s just stay in and have a nice cup of tea …
It has become part of my phone buying ritual now. Buy a phone, buy a cheapo case, buy a slim case for nights out and then buy a case that’s big, protective, dustproof and will protect my phone during my daily adventures, then repeat in a variety of …
There are product designs that have stayed the same since time immemorial and there are products whose design changes from day to day. The in ear headphone is a product whose design has been pretty much nailed on and despite slight differences in varying manufacturers designs, the all …
Believe it or not there are people out there who don’t like to encase their phone in a huge great double layer case or even a tiny thin “barely there” style case. They must thrive on the potential damage that there phone may suffer during the day. For …
I’m becoming a wireless charging convert, the ease of just slamming gently placing your phone or tablet onto a pad on your desk to charge it so quick and easy. The more devices I buy that support Qi charging the more I want to use it, have already …
The Martian Watch is a very nice looking smartwatch. It’ll connect to your phone via Bluetooth and lets you send voice commands. An app on iOS or Android will let you get full control of your phone and let you configure it too. The watches are, I must …
I’ve had a few ideas on how to approach this particular article but, to be honest, I’m just going to jump right in. A few nights ago I found some rather innovative USB keyboards. Here’s a shot of some of them and, if you’ve seen my articles about …
So, you know how we’ve kinda reached a plateau with mobile phones? Surely you’ve heard people saying that new handsets don’t have the same “wow” factor that they once had? Well there’s something new. Something that’ll replace your flashy iPhone 5s or your Samsung Galaxy S4. You’re going …
The rumour mill is working overtime around the whole Nexus 5 launch. With a Google event taking place today in New York, speculation is rife that the launch is imminent and adding fuel to the fire is the fact that not only are there devices up for sale …
A bit confusing this one, but stick with me. Made by Nokia, the DC-50 isn’t a Dyson, but a portable wireless battery pack. Like other battery packs, you charge it up and then, when your phone is running low on go-go-juice, you connect it up anywhere for a …
Music is a thing of beauty. It can make you feel elated, sad or any of the emotions in between. The one thing that music requires however is a decent way of transmitting the sound to your ears. From large floor standing speakers to headphone to earphones, …
Many, many years ago people used these things to make calls. People used to have them on special telephone tables in their hall. Think back to your childhood and you might perhaps remember one sat next to a tub of pens and some paper. To make calls you …
It seems like an age since HTC ventured into tablet territory, the last effort was the long forgotten HTC Flyer. Sadly it was the company’s one and only tablet, and HTC stated that they would only return if they could develop a tablet that would “shake up the …
Over the next few weeks you’ll be seeing more from our “Gift Guide” series. We’ll be covering the best accessories, gadgets and smartphones to stuff into the stocking this festive season. First, gloves. Gloves are great. They’re obviously practical at this time of year. Winter is on the …
Are you a loser? I don’t mean a pasty geek who spends hours obsessing over mobile phones then writing about them on the internet, I mean someone who misplaces their phone. Well, either of the above may be interested in the HTC Fetch. It’s basically a keyfob that …
Do you remember last year we reviewed a custom 3D Printed Coolsmartphone iPhone 5 case? Well, the company who printed it for us, Sculpteo, have some Halloween themed cases you can personalise and get printed for your iPhone. I’m not the biggest fan of Halloween, but these cases …
It’s a fight we have daily. Power, we just need more power. So, as a little taster for our upcoming Coolsmartphone Gift Guide, here’s the Eton BoostBloc6600. It’s basically a block that you charge up and then you carry it round. Slap a couple of cables in and …
I’ve grown fond of Otterbox over the years, having found them years ago whilst looking for a rugged case for my Dell Streak 5. Fast forward a few years and Otterbox are one of THE names for mobile phone and tablet cases, with many different designs and colours …
LifeProof have until now just focused on the Apple market with cases for the iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5 and a few iPods but now they have extended their range to include the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. The cases are advertised as having 4 proofs: …
A short while ago we reviewed the OTONE Soundship Micro. It’s a Bluetooth speaker which also acts as a stand. Connect it up and boom, your tunes come out while you charge. However, there’s a bigger unit. A mothership if you will. OTONE call it an “intergalactic Soundship” …
The Xperia Z Ultra is a great bit of kit but with the giant screen I am worried that I will break all that lovely glass in my bag or pocket (yes you can put this beast in a pocket). So the first thing I did after getting …

Your phone camera, let’s face it, is pretty fantastic. It’ll let you take photos at any time and you never have to worry about going home to get your camera, because it’s always with you. If you’re anything like me you’ll probably have already filled up your phone …
If you’ve bought one of those shiny new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 handsets you’ll probably want to protect it. These cases are now available on Mobile Fun and include this case with funky laces. Look at that! It’s like having a foot against your head (and believe me, …
Imagine the scene…. Your boss strolls around the corner and tells you that you are needing to go on a top secret mission to some war torn part of the world and that he is going to want you connected the whole time so he can ring you …
Do you remember back to when you were a kid and you used to watch Knight Rider? Remember looking wistfully at the Hoff’s watch communicator that he used to talk with Kitt? I did anyway. Now we’re getting a step closer to this becoming a reality. I present …
