In a way I’m not overly happy that a service like this exists, or has to exist. The NHS here in the UK is crumbling. There’s many reasons for it, and we could argue about them all day, but fact is – it’s broken. We’re now in a …
There are some products, much like a well known paint manufacturer, that simply do ‘what it says on the tin’. This charging station is one such device. It has no bells or whistles, no flashing lights or additional bumpf, it simply charges multiple devices! It comes in a …
Christmas might be a long distant memory already but there’s still time to treat yourself to some shiny new tech products! This is the second Aukey wireless speaker I’ve reviewed. Unlike the first model, which I rather liked, this speaker has a more rugged look. Like most Aukey products …
Over the last few days I’ve been faffing about with the voice-controlled Amazon Echo Dot. It’s got an invisible lady inside called “Alexa” which will do your bidding. The device itself is a magical disc-shaped unit which will wake up and then answer your questions. It’ll also play …
First impressions matter. Or so we are led to believe. My Honor 6X arrived today and I’ve wasted no time taking it out of its box and popping my SIM and a memory card into it. The things I do for Coolsmartphone.com and you readers. The Honor 6X …
Over three years ago now we reviewed these Hyundai sunglasses. They had a “hidden” camera up front which meant that you could secretly record “stuff”. I tried it on a summers evening whilst cycling and the results were a little low-quality and bumpy. However, fast forward to CES …
Think your microSD card is big enough? Think again. Over in Las Vegas, SanDisk have just revealed their new 256GB Ultra microSD card. It boasts transfer speeds of up to 95MB/s and you can have the additional storage it provides presented as preferred or adoptable storage on Android. …
I think I’ve started to reach an age where I don’t always recognise some of the celebrities in magazines and on TV. Especially on “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here” where they now seem to run a full intro detailing why a person is apparently “famous”. …

In the last episode of 2016, Coolsmartphone Podcast 191, Matteo and Khellan get together to try and look back at what happened in the year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0VlMSJbjHI Much rambling and a few giggles later, we realised this episode is over an hour and a quarter long. 75 minutes. Editing …
CES. We wish we were there. Lots of announcements are being communicated to the world from Las Vegas, and ASUS just made the ASUS Chromebook Flip 2 official. The ASUS Chromebook Flip 2 (model number C302) is a follow up to the popular ASUS Chromebook Flip, as the …
Christmas is over for yet another year but, over the New Year too, you’ll probably be keeping in touch with friends and relatives. The modern way to do this, even for those who aren’t technically familiar, is via a video call. On Android you’ll probably be using Skype …
Samsung didn’t get much good press in the second half of 2016, mainly related to the Note 7 issues. We’re just a few days into 2017 and the Korean smartphone giant has just officially announced the A3 (2017) and A5 (2017) for European markets. The Samsung A7 (2017) …
“Happy New Year Everyone!” That seems to be what Amazon.co.uk and Honor are saying to us today. With an Honor 8 Deal. In Blue. Whether you are still slightly tipsy from last night or under the weather of some seasonal bug, this is a deal you won’t want …
Let’s be honest we all often knock Mobile Networks, sometimes a little quickly, so it’s great to be able to report on a Network making a positive move to support a community. Breakfast in A Bag are a team who support the homeless in London by providing free …

It seems that there’s no love lost between Cyanogen Inc and CyanogenMod. The CyanogenMod.org website is now dead. It comes just hours after this blog post from the developers behind it. When the CyanogenMod team announced that they were going to fork the source code yesterday we simply …
It’s Boxing Day! No one is really sure of the etymology of Boxing Day. As technology and gadgetry geeks, here at Coolsmartphone we like boxes of all shapes and sizes. Even better if said boxes contain something cool which we got a bargain on, usually ordered online from …
