Following our iPhone 12 coverage, we now have pricing and pre-order details from Virgin Media. They operate on EE masts currently but will be switching over to the Vodafone infrastructure later in 2021. You can pre-order here and get the brand new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. …
If you’ve got a strong Three signal in your area (check that here with the Ofcom checker), it’s definitely worth checking out this unlimited SIM-only deal. On a 12 month contract, it’ll deliver unlimited data, unlimited minutes and unlimited texts for a mere £16 per month. That’s £192 …
The guys at giffgaff launched their first “golden goodybag” a while ago and, for a mere £10 you can get 9GB of monthly data. That’s 50% more data than the normal £10 plan when set to recur each month. If you’re on giffgaff and you’re paying for their …
No flashy intro on this one. No smartphone news. It’s all a bit serious I’m afraid. Cancer. It’s not a nice thing to talk about and it’s not something I’d ever imagine doing a podcast about, but since the last Coolsmartphone Podcast (in July!) I basically very nearly …
This is a virtual network, but – like VOXI and Vodafone – SMARTY is very closely aligned to their parent – Three. It’s basically a sub-brand of Three company and they’re aiming to attract customers who are mainly looking for cheaper deals. That’s me then, because I’ve just …
For a mere £99.99, this is the Nokia 2.4. The guys at HMD Global had a big James Bond tie-in with this, and this was meant to be launched alongside the film, however the movie has now been delayed a second time because of coronavirus. No matter though, …
If the full OnePlus 8T review and cases overview wasn’t enough for you, I’ve now got a video too! Despite my best efforts, the colour-changing nature of the outer paintwork on the phone didn’t really show through on the original pictures, so this video hopefully shows things a …
Was it only yesterday that I was wittering on about a 256GB microSD card for £49.99? Well, in my tiny little mind I thought that was a good price. However, perhaps it’s a combination of the drugs I’m on, but today there’s a far better offer for you. …
Following on from our OnePlus 8T review, we’re going to have a look at a couple of the cases you can buy. First though, what about the one you get free in the box? Well, all I’ll say is – put it on. It’s see-through, flexible and it’ll …
Sit this next to the OnePlus 8 Pro and you’ll notice some obvious differences. First, the screen is a nudge smaller – the 6.78″ AMOLED rounded-edge unit on the Pro (3168 x 1440 pixels @ 513 ppi and 19.8:9) has been switched for a 6.55″ AMOLED flat screen …
As part of the Amazon sales, this SanDisk microSD card has been dropped down in price to an incredibly low £49.99. It’ll give any smartphone (with a microSD card slot) a colossal boost in capacity, and should mean that you don’t need to worry about filling up your …
Two years after UK 5G sites started to go live, Apple have finally announced their 5G iPhones. They’re all called the iPhone 12, but there’s a few different models to look at. You can watch the lengthy launch, but we’ve got all the important bits here. It’s safe …
Alright people, this is the blurams Outdoor Pro. It’s more than just a security camera. This is a web-accessible, app-accessible camera with deterrent alarm, two-way audio, excellent night vision (believe me!) and facial recognition. Wait, facial recognition? Yes indeed. When you take this one out of the box …
A few weeks ago I received a pop-up message on the NHS COVID-19 app saying that I’d been “exposed” to COVID-19. However, if you click on the message it simply vanishes… It seemed to relate to me switching Bluetooth on and off, but for many people they were …
My son and I headed to Wembley a year ago and, while I was in the area, I decided to check out the new 5G connection that had popped up on my phone. Getting 5G back then was a hit-and-miss affair, and it was really only to be …

The OnePlus 8T then. We know it’s got a shiny rear-end, we know it has a 120Hz flat screen which has earned an A+ overall rating from DisplayMate and we know it looks like this… On Wednesday you’ll be able to watch the phone getting unveiled.. https://twitter.com/oneplus/status/1314487193977544704?s=20 To …
Wireless headphones can cost quite a bit of cash. Indeed, if you go with the top-end Apple Airpods then you’ll easily be forking out three-figure sums for your music. These, though, are £29.99 and, in all fairness, I wasn’t expecting a great deal from them. TaoTronics, however, seem …
Head to the Motorola website right now and you’ll find yourself paying nearly £280 for this, the Moto G 5G Plus. However, we can get it cheaper for you. Featuring Android 10 you get 4GB RAM, 64GB storage plus a microSD slot. It’s powered by a Snapdragon 765 …
We’ve looked at a number of Honor devices lately. The Honor 9X and the Honor 9A– both very good phones considering how cheap they are. However, those phones lack the Google Services. So no Google Play. No Google Maps, YouTube, Gmail and so on. This is because the …
