So we had an overview of the Mi 8, the Mi 8 Pro, the Redmi 6A and the Band 3 yesterday, but today I wanted to give you a closer look at the fitness band. This will be given out for free when you buy a Xiaomi handset …
OK, so lesson number one. Never hold an event in an underground venue in London unless you’ve got a WiFi hotspot and you’ve given the assembled press a password for it. Sadly this is why we couldn’t bring you any live tweeting. We were two floors down, deep …
I’m not going to type one more word until you go and buy this. Buy this right now. Go on. Go to the new Xiaomi UK website and buy the thing. Why? Why should you buy this? Well I’ll tell you. It looks amazing. AMAZING. You can see …
We’re live here in London and we can confirm that, just in the last few seconds, Three UK will be stocking the Xiaomi Mi8 from tomorrow. You’ll also be able to pre-order the Redmi 6A, and they’ll be giving you a free Band 3 with either purchase. This …
Good afternoon everyone. We’re back in London today, bringing you everything you need to know about this relatively unknown brand. I say unknown because they are just that, at least right now, at least here in the UK. However, the same story could be told about HTC, about …
Today marks the arrival of a company that many here in the UK will have never heard of. However, they’re not a new brand and they’re definitely not inexperienced in any way. These guys are big, successful and expanding rapidly. Founded in 2010, they have over 15,000 employees …
Welcome to the Coolsmartphone Podcast Episode 233. In this Episode we discuss: The OnePlus 6T – after all we were there The iPad Pro Event – we were there in spirit The State of the Mobile Market place The Sentio Superbook Getting Connected CSP Team Members on this …
I’m still looking for a phone. My old Mate 10 Pro is still broken and I still haven’t managed to get all the holiday photos off it. I’m still using a backup (old) handset and I’m still on the lookout for deals. So, Tesco Mobile has announced a …
Back in September we told you about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G arriving on EE. Now the 4G version is available and it’s the first Android compatible 4G enabled smartwatch here in the UK. Millions of Samsung customers on EE will be able to send and receive messages, …
Following on from their debut in France with the Find X, OPPO have today announced that their R series flagship product, the R17 Pro (also called RX17 Pro), will be arriving in European markets on November 16th. Pricing is €599, which is around £523, but expect to see …
Yes, it’s that time of year again. Halloween is done. Bonfire Night is done. Now it’s a full-on face-full of funky festive frivolity. EE have unveiled their early bird Christmas offers and, if you get one of the Huawei or Nokia handsets on a 10GB plan or above, …
Lots of 5G news today and, following the announcement that Three are to invest £5bn into 5G, EE are announcing that parts of East London will have 5G coverage. Of course, you don’t have a 5G-enabled phone. Neither do we, but EE can use these sites as a …
UK network Three, who are already well-known for pushing their data network, have today announced they are investing over £2bn into 5G technology. With all the networks full steam ahead in their 5G plans, Three have a great opportunity to stand out thanks to their large spectrum holding …
There was a definite lack of hysteria with the iPhone XS and XR launches this year. As we mentioned in an earlier article, the queues outside Apple stores didn’t seem as long or as plentiful, and now, during a recent earnings call, there wasn’t the expected level of …
Head to the existing customer deals page for this one. Apparently some have had success by putting a non-Three number in too, but it chucked a wobbly when we did that. It’s a SIM-only deal which lasts for 12 months, but for that you can tether, you can roam …
I don’t like to change much. I get used to the way that my phone feels and how it operates. I love having a phone that I can use one-handed and I get used to where all the icons are. I’m a creature of habit and like everything …
A few months back after returning from MWC 18, I was lucky enough to get hold of a true reborn icon in the form of the Gemini from Planet Computers. This was the companies entry product into the market and it was, on the whole, a well-received device. …
After a huge build up and pop-up store success, the OnePlus 6T is now available to buy from today. The latest flagship comes with an impressive spec sheet including dual cameras on the back, a large 3700mAh battery, a tiny notch on the front, and that new in …
As I get older I’ve come to the shuddering realisation that 90% of people in this world lack any sort of common sense. It’s the reason we have signs telling us that hot water might come out of a hot tap, or that slippery floors might cause you …
With OnePlus announcing their latest flagship, the 6T, recently there have been a series of ‘pop-up’ locations where people can get hands on the latest OnePlus have to offer. Over 800 people attended the London experience, and with Carl Pei making an appearance, you even had the chance …
