I’ve spent a couple of hours looking for a new SIM-only deal. I had one requirement – it had to be with Vodafone or one of the virtual networks (like Voxi) running on the Vodafone masts. This is because, in the areas I’ll be needing it, Vodafone is …

Gone are the days when a “VPN” used to be something that only tech-savvy people would know about and want. Now you’ll find that VPNs are advertised on TV. A “VPN” stands for “Virtual Private Network”. Sat in a cafe, connected to the free WiFi, you can never …

I keep falling into the OnePlus trap! Every time a new phone is about to be announced, we get small chunks of information dripping out every few days about it. Today, it’s all about the glossy glass back on the Aquamarine Green version of the upcoming OnePlus 8T. …

Every winter we have the same problem. It gets cold, we crank the heating up and put crazy thick slippers or socks on. Thick socks seem like a good idea, and do tend to keep your feet warm, but due to their thickness there’s always a problem getting …

Remember how I used the Unihertz Atom as a bike computer? It worked because it was, like the Jelly Pro before it, tiny. The idea of a small smartphone does sound kinda cool, but when you use it in anger the reality quickly hits you over the head. …

Last year I was in Malta. Whilst in the sunshine I called home, safe in the knowledge that I was in an EU country and I was calling another EU country. The cost was included in my plan and there were no big bill shocks. However, when you …

I’ve fallen off my bike quite a few times over the years. If there’s one thing I’d recommend, it’s a helmet. Never mind what you look like, put a bloody helmet on.. you helmet. If you’re on a Cowboy e-bike, then you can try the industry’s first software …

It is simply amazing if you think about just how much one can accomplish using a smartphone or tablet for that matter. When you look back at how technology has shaped today’s world, it is crystal clear that things are only getting better. The milestones being witnessed in …

OK, I pinched this one from HotUKDeals but it doesn’t make it any less of a deal. Right now, on the Vodafone-owned VOXI network, you can get a massive 12GB of monthly data for a mere £10 per month. Boom! It’s a one month rolling contract, so you …

The Nokia 8.3 5G, which we covered here, is now available to buy on giffgaff. Now, as giffgaff split the cost of the handset and the plan (or “Goodybag”), you can get the phone for £499 if you want to buy it outright, or you can pay for ut …

As part of BBK Electronics, Realme was actually founded a couple of years ago by a former vice president of Oppo. However, under the BBK Electronics umbrella, they’re certainly in good company – the company also has the Oppo, OnePlus and Vivo brands too. Now, a couple of …

As someone who’s in hospital for a few months, I can certainly attest to the hard work and dedication of the NHS staff. It isn’t just a job. I’ve seen doctors, nurses, HCA’s and everybody in-between caring, sharing, helping and listening. They work harder and longer than anyone …

Here at Coolsmartphone we’ve previously taken a look at ways to archive and grab YouTube videos to your phone. There’s various online options out there, but for the most part they’re covered in pop-up ads, malware and lots of scary-looking downloads that can easily confuse most users. If …

Its time for another unboxing and this time around it is a Fitness Band/Smartwatch – the Honor Watch ES. The reason I say that this fits into both the camps of wearables is that I feel it’s a crossover device. At least, that is my first impressions of …

The lower-end Android devices tend to run Android Go. It’s a speedy version of the OS which is built for smartphones with less memory (2GB or below). A range of nimble apps like Gallery Go, Google Go, YouTube Go, Maps Go and so on – they’re built to …

Currently sitting on the EE network (but soon to switch across to Vodafone masts), Virgin Media are going great guns at the moment. They’re now offering the Oppo Reno4 Pro from just £28 a month. Not only that, but you get a free pair of B&O H4 Headphones …

Samsung isn’t afraid to get involved in the entry-level arena either, and for just £149 this is the new Galaxy M11 handset. In terms of specifications you’re looking at a 6.4″ 720X1560 HD+ TFT Infinity-O Display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core (1.8GHz) CPU and a 5000mAh battery with …
