Not too many years ago we were amazed at the thought of having a 1 megapixel camera on our mobile phone. Little did we know where all this was heading. If you think the current ‘selfie’  craze was big, it seems people sharing cat photos is even bigger! …

HTC today unveiled their HTC advantage scheme, which gives HTC One owners a host of benefits. It’s not just One owners who get benefits, it’s the whole One range so the Mini and Max gets bonuses as well. Unfortunately it is just US only at the moment but …

Well,  as we sort-of expected,  the possible HTC M8 reveal looks to be after Mobile World Congress. HTC,  like Samsung last year,  look to have chosen a separate venue to launch their new phone, rather than the ultra-busy Barcelona mobile event. It comes after we revealed how quiet …

Now, I’m not going to talk about those trade-in websites that’ll offer you a few quid for your mobile. I’m actually going to talk about those slightly different websites that constantly ask whether you’ve got any gold.  Me, I know the answer already. I’ve got no gold. I …

MWC is so close you can almost smell it and manufacturers are releasing information beforehand to save themselves time next week. ZTE are one of these and they’ve sent us information about two new devices. The ZTE Grand Memo LTE and the Firefox OS equipped Open C. Adam …

It’s a prototype, so go easy on it. Here’s another look at the Sony Xperia Z2. We should be seeing it in the flesh in just less than a week, but this random YouTuber has a full-on up-close video special for you. The Sony Xperia Z2, aka the …

We’ve seen the HTC M8 leaks, we’ve seen rumoured names like the HTC One 2 kicking around, but one thing we haven’t seen is any invite or news of a launch in Barcelona. Mobile World Congress starts in days. We’re getting on the plane on Saturday and we’ve …

Remember our HTC Desire 500 review? Well, this is the Desire 300, and it’s a …. bit… different. The Desire 500 has a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8 megapixel and 1.6 megapixel camera. This Desire 300 has a dual-core 1GHz CPU and a 5 megapixel shooter with a …

I like Android. It has lots of customisation options, the widgets are great, there are lots of free apps and there are plenty of alternative launchers and even ROMs to use if you get bored of your default settings. However this links to most people’s major bugbear – …

The much anticipated Windows Phone 8.1 is due in April, however Microsoft have released the SDK to some developers with the disclaimer the some of the items listed in the MUI, from which a list of function have been extracted, might not make it to the final release …

Me and phone cases have a colourful history, I swing from wanting a huge super protective case with a built in screen protector, through to a slimline but cushioned case and even some days I go a bit mad and use a phone naked. My Note 3 is …

It’s probably not the lightest, most practical or cheap skirt in the world, but it certainly looks pretty. Shown off at London Fashion Week, designers used 3D printers and a laser cutter to put together the design, which features 35 Lumia 1520 and 45 Lumia 1020 phones displaying …

Acer have posted an image on Google+ saying that they will reveal “must have new products” at MWC. Judging by the image they posted it looks like a phone with a rear power button. It’s certainly intriguing, it’s nice to see upcoming manufacturers trying things out, you just …

We held a top level meeting recently to plan the future of Coolsmartphone. After a game of darts and several beers, we decided that we needed more pictures of kebabs on the site. To be fair, it wasn’t the most productive meeting we’ve ever had, but we did …

Popular specs leaker ‘@evleaks‘ has another great leak today – the new Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. It’s due to be announced next week in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress and we’ll be there live. Considering @evleaks has been right about so many devices in the past, we can …

Remember when we told you that Microsoft-owned Nokia were about to release an Android phone at Mobile World Congress? Yes, we’re still getting over that one. Now there’s more details after a store listed the device in Vietnam. The listing showed a 4″ WVGA screen, 1GHz dual-core CPU, …

With Mobile World Congress fast approaching, the usual trickle of leaks are ending up in our inbox. On the far left this, apparently, is the Sony Xperia Z2, aka the D6503 Sirius. These shots were posted on digi-wo.com. To be honest there’s not a great deal we can …

We’re seeing a little more of the HTC One successor every day. What we’re not seeing though, is a launch event. Still no news about what HTC are doing at Mobile World Congress, even though it’s looking like this will be their new device and it’ll probably be …
