Two key elements of the iPhone 5S announcement last night was the improved camera and the fingerprint scanning home button called Touch ID. Apple have posted two videos on their YouTube channel showing both off. First up the camera video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK0_OVn_uxA Next Touch ID http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJkmc8-eyvE
Last night Apple introduced two new devices, the iPhone 5S and 5C. The 5C is the one that’s grabbed my attention mainly down to the fact I could get a yellow one with a green case (strange use case I know). To help out with my lusting over …
Google Play Music is a great piece of software, allowing you to buy music as you want, pay a subscription and pay monthly, pay a subscription and listen to radio style playlists or even just upload thousands and thousands of your own music and just stream it for …
So, a quick look on the Apple website reveals something a little worrying. Based on this information, the only UK networks who will be able to make the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c work at 4G speeds are Vodafone and EE. Many websites have picked up on this …
Along with the colourful iPhone 5C Apple also announced the premium iPhone 5S. The iPhone 5S packs the same 4″ retina display as the 5 and the new 5C in a premium finish in 3 different colours; gold, silver and space grey. Inside the 5S runs a new …
As widely expected, Apple today announced the iPhone 5C in an event at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. The new device looks exactly like the leaks we saw earlier this year, with Tim Cook going as far to reference the leaks during his presentation. The new iPhone features …
Join myself and the rest of the Coolsmartphone team from just before 6PM as we take you through today’s Apple Event. After months of speculation, it’s now less than an hour until we find out what Apple have lined up for the next year of mobile devices. We’ll …
Yes. Fair comment, we do review a lot of Bluetooth speakers here at Coolsmartphone. It’s the new thing though. Gone are the days of kitchen radio, CD and tape players. Now it’s a speaker which you pair with your phone or MP3 player. What about FM radio though? …
Three have just sent out a press release confirming the Sony Xperia Z Ultra is now available on its network. The Z Ultra is a massive device both size and spec with a huge 6.4″ display, 2GB ram, 16GB storage and an 8 megapixel camera. You can also …
The worst thing about phone contracts is having to have the same phone for 2 years whilst there are constantly new ones being released. O2 have their refresh tariffs to allow you to change phones mid-contract and now EE have launched Swap. Swap allows users with eligible handsets …
The mobile industry is incredibly fast and cut-throat. Microsoft learned that too slowly in my opinion, and the supposed launch of BBM for Android / iPhone yesterday showed yet again just how quickly things change. Earlier we heard that the BBM app was available. It turned out to …
Morning. I’ve been a little undecided about posting this one. Yes, if you love your iPhone you might be swearing at your screen shortly. However, based purely on the amount of “Thumbs ups” this video has received. I’m guessing that many iPhone fans enjoyed it too. So it’s …
HTC have never really succeeded when it comes to tablets. The mildly successful HTC Flyer was getting long in the tooth when it got it’s update from Gingerbread to Honeycomb (Android 3.0), and there hasn’t been a lot to speak of since. This morning we spotted what appeared …

Watches are making a bit of a comeback, but in a new form, they have Bluetooth, a range off odd buttons and loads of features that you didn’t know you ever needed. I’ve never owned a SmartWatch, I’ve looked at many though and wondered what life would be …
Vodafone have just announced the next set of cities to have 4G switched on. They are Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham and Sheffield. These cities will start getting 4G from 28th September. This is in addition to London, which already started rolling out 4G at the end of August. We’ve …
Yes, another crowdfunding project, yes I should start ignoring these more but no, I’m not going to ignore this one. Put simply, it’s a home automation system and security device. You get some magical doo-hickeys to plug into your sockets and let you remotely switch stuff on or …
It’s hard to believe that a year ago almost to the day I was travelling to the Science Museum in London for the announcement of Britain’s first 4G Network from EE. September 11 2012 was the date that Everything Everywhere became EE and announced that they would begin …
I saw what appeared to be a cracking deal on a decent spec’d smartphone whilst surfing the web a couple of weeks ago, took the plunge and ordered directly from China. I’d never seen or heard of the brand-name ThL or the W8s phone before and to be …
I tell you what we need right now. Another smartwatch. Oh yes. How about a watch made by … a car company? Hehehe… yeah. I’ll bet that’ll be really tacky and cheap. I bet it’ll just be a bad design with the car logo wedged on. Hang on, …
