It is time to pull my thoughts together for the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G after I have been using it for a few weeks. I have already taken the time to put this through it unboxing process and provided a few very brief initial first thoughts …

So now that the hype has worn down from Thursday night’s unveiling at the Honor 70 launch event have had a bit of time to decompress and get my thoughts together. Most importantly I have also had the chance to do the unboxing of the phone with the …
Another review time. We will be looking at the Realme GT Neo 3 150W. This is one of the latest devices from Realme and is a device that kind of sits in between the Realme GT 5G that was reviewed recently and the Realme GT 2 Pro in …
I have been using the Realme GT 2 5G for a few weeks now and now is my time to pass judgement on this mid to high-end contender. It is a device that presents a very compelling argument as to the question of do you need an expensive …
Time to test the metal of the Honor 50 5G as we put it under a scope and see what makes it tick! Also, I want to see how the phone compares to the likes of its rival the OnePlus Nord 25G Design This is an area where …
We have a new phone in for testing and this is an important one for the company launching it. The phone is the Honor 50 5G and since Honor and Huawei are now no longer the same company this one comes with the thing that I found to …
Is there a new “flagship killer” on the block? That is the question that is being posed in the review of the latest phone from Realme the Realme GT 5G. I have been able to use one for the past few days, and I will try to …
I have arrived home to find a Black box on my desk emblazoned with Realme branding!! Inside something is exciting lurking and it is the Realme GT 5G. I have been eagerly waiting for this device since I tested the Realme 8 Pro and had a brief hand-on …
A mid-ranger phone with a flagship camera sensor does it work as an alternative to a high-end alternative?This is the question I am going to attempt to answer during the review of the Realme 8 Pro. So for those of you who have not heard of Realme before …
Each year I tend to sign off for a couple of days over Christmas to unwind. This year, for all of us, has been one to remember – and perhaps not for the right reasons. Things started off quite well at Coolsmartphone HQ. We’d put the final touches …
My first impressions on this one definitely surrounded the size of the phone. It’s quite a weighty and large device at 218 grams and 9.3mm thick. Compare that to the 199g weight and 8.5mm thickness of something like the OnePlus 8 Pro. Sure, the extra 19 grams might …
Normally I would do an unboxing on a newly received phone, however this time around I am going to skip the unboxing as most reviewers have done that for me. What I am going to do is give you a bit of a rundown of my experience over …
This one has taken me by surprise. It’s a phone from – in the UK at least – a relatively unknown manufacturer and it’s £749. That’s a lot to spend on a brand you may not be familiar with, and you’ll need to be looking at places like …
With outgoing US President (and sore loser) Donald Trump causing Huawei and Honor big problems, there’s no guarantee that the new President will immediately overturn the blockers that have stopped handsets being sold with Google apps. Just to bring you up to speed, the crazy orange maniac added …
Well, we kinda knew that this was going to happen. With both Huawei and Honor getting battered by the US government sanctions, they’re left trying to sell phones which lack the Google Play store and the Google Services. No Google Maps, no YouTube and no Gmail apps. Sure, …
A smartphone with a full 66-key QWERTY keyboard? You don’t see that much now! This is a phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, dual SIM connectivity, a 12 megapixel primary camera, an 8 megapixel selfie and… did I mention the slide-out QWERTY keyboard?! I think I’ve been …
The OnePlus 8T has got some proper speedy charging. Our OnePlus 8T review looked at the new charger and the “flat to full” time of just 39 minutes. However, Xiaomi want to go one better, and there’s no cables required either. Their next generation 80W “Mi Wireless Charging …
This is a virtual network, but – like VOXI and Vodafone – SMARTY is very closely aligned to their parent – Three. It’s basically a sub-brand of Three company and they’re aiming to attract customers who are mainly looking for cheaper deals. That’s me then, because I’ve just …
Two years after UK 5G sites started to go live, Apple have finally announced their 5G iPhones. They’re all called the iPhone 12, but there’s a few different models to look at. You can watch the lengthy launch, but we’ve got all the important bits here. It’s safe …

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 …
You can enter quite a weird and confusing world when you talk about Oppo. They have a relationship with OnePlus, and indeed we mentioned how similar the OnePlus Nord was to the Oppo Find X2 Lite. Head to the OnePlus Wikipedia page and it states.. OnePlus Technology is …
Here it is the newest Poco Phone from Xioami, but unlike its slightly older predecessor, this one is not all about pushing to get the bets processor into the cheapest phone possible. This time around we have got a phone that has been built to a price but …
As I’m going through quite a bit of stuff right now, I’ve switched to doing video reviews but hey, we’re still going in-depth. This, for just £19 per month with Three on an unlimited contract (plus £19 upfront), is the TCL 10 5G. Wait, who? Well, don’t worry …
Coming to Three UK in mercury grey from August 5th, this is the TCL 10 5G. You’ll be able to pick it up from just £19 month on the network. It’s 5G and, when you’re at home, it can connect to both your 2.4GHz and your 5GHz WiFi …
Ooh now. £349 for your next Google smartphone. I’m liking all these supposed “mid-range” smartphones. It’s clearly bonkers-conkers to pay nearly £1,000 for a smartphone, so phones like the OnePlus Nord are really raising eyebrows. This, the new Google Pixel 4a, is even cheaper at £349, although in …
I mean, we knew some bits about the OnePlus Nord before this event. But the price they just announced? Bejesus. That’s an insanely cheap price. The 8GB / 128GB OnePlus Nord is £379. The 12GB / 256GB OnePlus Nord is £469. Yesterday we looked an another Snapdragon 765 …

Technology has always played a big role when it comes to the developments in the online games industry. The online gaming sector has come a long way since it appeared in the 1990s. Back then, online casino games can only be played on computers. Then rose the mobile …
There’s definitely a “shift in the force” at the moment. The mobile phone landscape – until very recently – used to be crowded with names like HTC, Sony, LG, Samsung and Huawei. Now we’ve got Oppo, OnePlus, Xiaomi and – yes – Motorola on the march. Networks like …
Morning all. Yesterday I mentioned the reduced app selection on the Honor and Huawei phones. This is because Google Play isn’t available on newer models – like the Huawei P40 Pro, the Honor 9X and the Honor 9A. I got a number of responses. A lot of criticism …

Remember these guys? They’ve been kicking around for a while now. Motorola are back, and they’ve launched their “fastest, loudest and boldest” flagship phones ever – the Motorola edge and edge+, all in lower-case letters too. Moto have gone with the “5G first” mantra (similar to OnePlus with …
Whilst we’re all locked inside there’ll be many of you who have no doubt seen a TikTok video. It could be within the app or via a Facebook post, a Twitter update or sent over WhatsApp. What, though, is TikTok and why are a growing section of society …
Last night I spoke about ways of seeing the Starlink satellites. They’re really easy to see right now and, as the weather is gorgeous and we’re all locked in our houses, what else are you going to do? I’ve had a few emails about this already and a …
What is going on with this year? A pandemic, stores and offices closing, key workers earning far too little for keeping us all alive and now… a brand new iPhone undercutting every single phone OnePlus has released this year in price. Madness. Welcome in, the new iPhone SE, …
