It’s that time of year when Android fans around the world start to get excited about the new Galaxy Note. This year will be the Galaxy Note 4 and as I’ve ended up buying each and every Galaxy Note I had better start saving my pennies. Samsung have …
This is a phone which really does look the part. The last time I had an imported copy like this, the screen was low resolution and spongy. The build quality was pretty terrible and the OS was slow. This, though, is really rather good. First impressions are…well, impressive. …

It’s that glorious time of the year when the tech world goes into a meltdown of anticipation as the first rumours of a new iPhone launch date starts to hit the net. We should point out that at this stage Apple are remaining tight lipped and have yet …
The Moto G and the follow up 4G model, have made a good impression here at Coolsmartphone, being very affordable and having above average specs for the price range. Therefore, it should come as no great surprise that Motorola have a successor in development – the XT1063. Don’t …
Ever wanted to move network but worried that a silly mistake you might have made or overlooked ages ago hit your credit file and would mean you might get declined? Maybe you just took a large loan or mortgage but want to move network and think this might …
You’re in danger. In fact, your personal life is in danger according to a survey of 5000 people by Tiger Mobiles. It reveals that only 1 in 3 people actually use some sort of security on their lock screen. Over half of the people not using any sort …
The LG G3 Beat is the next upcoming phone from LG, it’s basically the G3 Mini and in preparation for that LG have created a rather jolly video promoting some of the features of the G3 Beat. They’ve published it on YouTube and they kind of forgot that …
If I’m honest, it’s sometimes tricky to write a great deal about a case. This one is from Snugg and the blue ultra thin case we have here is £9.99. For that you get a case with a non-slip, durable finish which, if anything, adds to the style …
A watch fundamentally is foolproof, you look at it wanting answers and it duly obliges, although for many years this has been a rather simple transaction. i.e what is the time? It is 5am. Simple. This idea hasn’t been played about with for a long time. With a …
Facebook for Windows Phone has had many different faces, from the days when Microsoft made the app the way they wanted through to unified approach that Facebook have rolled out to their apps these days. Yesterday it Facebook updated it again and it looks even closer to the …

For those lucky souls who signed up for the Windows Phone 8.1 developer preview earlier on in the year, you’d better connect to Wi-Fi as there is a rather fancy update waiting for you. My Lumia 1020 has just decided to start downloading the update. If you’re wondering …
I have been lucky enough to borrow Lumia 635 to use for a few weeks to see how it fares up as one of the cheapest 4G phones around. I ditched my current and only 2-day-old LG G3 to spend a few days with the Lumia 635 …
I don’t normally review games for smart phones as I don’t normally play them but this one caught my attention in a big way so I figured what the hell. The premise of the game is very simple it is a top down rolling shooter that as …
More and more budget smartphones are starting to come to the marketplace as highlighted by the high profile announcement of the £26 Karbonn A50S, which whilst aimed at developing markets will probably lead to other similarly priced devices getting released.
