Christmas is nearly upon us here at Coolsmartphone Towers but Leigh hasn’t put out tree up yet. So the rest of us elves are having fun hearing about the new GoXtreme Vision 4K which we will be using on our Coolsmartphone Sleigh 5000. Seriously, the GoXtreme comes with …

Just recently I have been sent through the Mixcder premium MS301 wireless Bluetooth headphones for review, and to be honest the offer couldn’t have come at a better time, as I was just about to embark on a holiday to the USA, and therefore I could use them predominantly …

Click-bait title? Check. A story which has nothing to do with smartphones? Check. This is something I spotted last night and it’s frankly brilliant. I love proper back-to-basic inventions like this. It makes me wish I had one at my previous job – then I would’ve travelled up …

A little while ago UK network EE changed how it explained 4G coverage, moving away from population numbers and into geographical coverage instead. This was key for them, as it shows how quickly their network is expanding. It also meant that they could show off new technology such …

EE have announced their latest own brand device called the EE Hawk. The biggest 4G network in the UK has managed to bring mid-range specs to a low range pricepoint, and connectivity is at its heart. The EE Hawk features 4G+ network speeds, and in testing hit over …

So this is a thing. What caught my eye about this is this simple fact from the Elephant Alarms website.. Your door, especially if you live in an apartment (this is designed with flats, apartments and small offices in mind), can be a huge weak spot and an …

We took a look at the new Moto Z2 Play in June. Shortly after that, the Moto Z2 Force appeared. This has a guaranteed shatter-resistant screen and more of those lovely MotoMods. It’s thinner too – just 6.1 mm and that P-OLED 5.5″ screen is 1440 x 2560 …

We’ve received an email from NOA. They’re about to launch their first smartphone with an 18:9 screen ratio and DTS audio. It’s called the NOA N8 and has a near 6″ screen, though it’s 720x1440px. It also has a 5000 mAh battery, which seems very decent, and that …

Going abroad usually involves you forgetting your travel adapter, then buying some ridiculously-priced one at the airport instead. Now this little cube is here to help. The TA502 has two USB ports and will convert from / to US, EU, AU and UK plugs. These conform to US, …

Right, here’s what you need to know. You can pop over to Banggood and get one of these for £155.13. For your money you’re going to get a 5.99″ 1080×2160 Full HD screen (18:9) with a 403 ppi pixel density. You’re also going to get a dual 16 …

Got a patchy signal and on O2? Don’t worry! You can call over WiFi! Well, up until now you’ve had to use a separate app, but TU Go did let you make and receive calls in areas you weren’t able to before. However, here’s the bad news. Tomorrow …

Just recently we switched to a new server but, despite our efforts (!), the site has continued to grow with more and more of you crazies joining in the fun on a daily basis. Today we’ve switched on a new caching system which will, if we’ve tweaked it …

We have had something very special arrive at Coolsmartphone Towers today. At least, it’s something that I have been looking forward to for a few weeks. Today we’ve got one of the boldest new phones to come out this year (IMHO). Yes, it’s the Razer Phone! You’re obviously …

Mobile phone scams are on the rise, and scammers are thinking of new ways to trick consumers out of their money. One of the latest is where customers get a missed call and then call back to a premium number at a cost… And an expensive one at …

A regular conversation between the writers at Coolsmartphone Towers revolves around using a stylus with a tablet and how expensive some of the “big brand” versions are. The Precision Stylus Pro 3 has launched on Amazon for £29.99 in the UK. This particular stylus is a high quality, fine point …

I won’t say anything just yet. I’ll just put some pictures into this article and you can tell me whether they look familiar. Seen that one before? Perhaps someone you know has seen it. These will scare and no doubt trick a lot of people into installing junk …

Black Friday has probably cleared you out. Let’s be honest, it’s the end of the month and this is your last pay day until Christmas so we’ve got to be a bit careful with the cash. Here, then, is our semi-regular look at what you can get for …

Gimbal. There’s a word you don’t often see being used in everyday conversation. “Hey man, how’s your gimbal?” “Yeah, good thanks. How’s yours?” No often done that. Anyway, many years ago, when I could get away with calling things “cool” and wearing hats backwards, I laughed hysterically when …

OK, this Black Friday thing is sending everybody crazy. Just last week we spotted this Plusnet plan which delivered 5GB of monthly data for £10 every month. As you’d expect, it’s a SIM-only offering. The Plusnet network operates on the EE network. However, shortly after we saw that …

Come on, when was the last time you went to your local bank? My last visit there was to have a chat with the “account manager”. A few years ago he sat me down and basically told me that I was being a little carefree with my money. …
