Many of the higher-end phones now have IR blasters. It’s not a new thing though, as IR ports were actually found in phones many years ago. Back then there wasn’t such a thing as “Bluetooth” and you’d never find WiFi in your handset, so data was transferred over …
Welcome to the latest episode of the Coolsmartphone Podcast, joining me this week was Leigh. This weeks topics revolved around Leigh and his trip to London to see the LG G4, me and my Moto G 4G and Huawei P8, Leigh and the Honor 4X and some other …
We’ve all been there I’m sure. That moment when you wish you had a hand to help you or perhaps an arm to do your bidding? Well, here it jolly well is. This is the “Lazy Arm” and is “more flexible than a Chinese gymnast”. I don’t really …
Yesterday Microsoft opened their annual developer’s conference in California to great fanfare. As we had reported, rumours had been rife about some sort of Android announcement, yet when it came it wasn’t entirely as had been expected. Most of the attention was, of course, focused on the forthcoming …
With all this talk of the new LG G4 it’s perhaps all too easy to forget about the G3. It’s still my daily driver and, despite me draining the battery surprisingly quickly, it takes great pictures and that 5.5″ screen really doesn’t feel like 5.5″. Yes, that sounds …
Beyond accessing radio stations through apps on my iPhone, internet radio was a new concept that I had never really considered. So, when I was given to opportunity to test the Grace Digital Mondo Internet Radio, I was keen to see what it offered. Complete with a catalogue …
I’ve become a bit of a fan of the Rock Jaw headphones. They’re premium quality build, excellent sound and yet they don’t cost the earth. We’ve already reviewed their Hydra headphones, the Arcana ones and the Alfa Genius set. All of them received glowing reviews and they delivered …
Following on from the announcement of the latest flagship from LG, two of the largest UK independent retailers have today started taking pre-orders for device. The G4 appeared just yesterday, with the launch attended by our very own Leigh. You can catch up on his LG G4 overview …
The Kitsound Evoke is a Bluetooth speaker, but this one is a little different. It needs to be plugged in. Not totally wireless, but it can easily be relocated to another place provided there’s a plug socket within reach. It looks absolutely fantastic. A sleek modern black glossy …
After the Apple watch hit stores, fans have been checking their bank balances before getting that hot new piece of technology. Heck, if you don’t have enough cash right now, that might not matter. Surely it can go on the credit card? 😉 The British market is one …
Just how do you pad out a story that really only has one nugget of information? Do you mention the specs and the general details about the phone in question? Do you chuck lots of images in to fill the void? Well, we’ll try both. The LG G4, …
Later today the annual Microsoft Build conference will get under-way. This is sort of the equivalent of the Google I/O event, or Apple’s WWDC; in other words it is a massive deal for Microsoft, particularly in a year when Windows 10 will be released for desktop PCs, tablets …
Another week, another mid-range Lumia phone…the phablet-sized Lumia 640XL is nothing new, but Microsoft’s website has now changed its status from coming soon to available for purchase Announced at the same time as the 640, Microsoft’s latest phone boasts some decent specs, if nothing that’ll change the mobile …
To look at, the LG G4 is similar to the G3. It’s only really when you turn it over and notice either the leather back or the new switch assembly. In a way it reminded me of the HTC One M9. It’s not all about redesigning from scratch, …
My wife loves reading books. She’s probably read more books in the last month than I have … err.. ever. Now, if you’ve got Android then you may have your favourite e-reader app already, but have you considered the others that are out there? There’s stacks of apps …
I’ve been quite a fan of the LG G3 for a while now. Until I actually had one in my hand I’d perhaps not considered LG as an option and, to be honest, that’s a bit of a shame. The new LG G4, like the G3 before, is a …
If you’re planning on getting the all-new LG G4 on TalkTalk, good news. It’ll be arriving on the MVNO pretty soon. We’ve had confirmation today that the handset will be available to customers when it’s brought to the network, although there’s no news on dates or pricing just …
LG have just announced their new flagship device called the G4 and it looks awesome. Specs include a 5.5 inch Quad HD display with amazing colour accuracy. There is a Snapdragon 808 processor under the hood paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. Camera wise you get a …
It may or may not surprise you to hear that Cyanogen and OnePlus are parting ways, and the Cyanogen team are looking for new hardware vendors to bring its custom Android OS to market. This possibly surprising news has been revealed by Cyanogen’s Kirt McMaster and Steve Kondik speaking earlier …
