The supermarket chain have slashed prices on their range of posh “Finest” tablet cases. There’s a fairly sizable range to choose from and they make rather nice presents too. Whilst looking for my “special cream” I found these. Firstly, this canvas iPad Mini car is down from £15 …
The network famed for hassle-free SIM-only plans has now announced their very own range of handsets and you can buy them later this month. The initial list includes the following handsets, and there’s a good mix of Android, iPhone and Windows Phone devices.. Samsung Galaxy Young Samsung Galaxy …
So, you don’t want to go for an ultra-cheap-bargain-basement tablet but, at the same time, you don’t want to get utterly fleeced buying a top-end tablet. What about the Google Nexus 7 we reviewed? Fancy that? How about bagging one for less than £180? How’s that sound to …
Would you like a cheap Nexus 7? No, we’re not talking about the new 2013 model. 🙂 If you want a cheap one, Play.com have some manufacturer refurbished 16GB and 32GB 1st gen Nexus 7s for £99 and £120. These are refurbished by ASUS and sold as “like …
We suspected it, and it appears to be true. Nokia really was trying out Android and, according to two unnamed staff members, they had Android running on Lumia handsets months before the Microsoft buy-out was even planned. Microsoft were aware of the confidential project and, although it was …
It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Oppo here at Coolsmartphone. Whilst we wait for more news on the Oppo N1, Oppo’s European retailer, Oppo Style, have announced that they are going to be offering a 10% discount to students purchasing the Oppo Find 5. All you …

So you really want a Sony Xperia Z Ultra with its elephantine 6.44-inch HD screen, right? But you really want a Sony SmartWatch 2. A Sony SBH20 stereo Bluetooth headset is on the list too. The trouble is that you only have £612 to spend and there’s no …
Boom! Lets blow those eardrums to …err… heck! These JVC HAFX1X Xtreme Xplosives In Ear Canal Headphones (I know, catchy right?) are normally £24.99 but right now they’re down to just £7.90 via Amazon. Now yes, that Super Saver Delivery has now changed so you’ll need to spend …
An Android handset for £39.99? Well, straight up we know it’s not going to have a quad-core CPU, hi-res screen and an 8 megapixel camera. But, if you want a cheap and cheerful Android then Alcatel have a solution. It’ll be available today with Virgin Mobile on Pay …
The “economic climate”, a “period of austerity” or “the downturn”, call it what you will. We’re all a bit skint. Recently we’ve covered ways to cut down on your mobile spending. Cheaper phones, SIM only deals and basically switching to a better plan. Today it’s another cheap phone …
Up until very recently the Nokia Lumia 920 was the flagship Nokia phone, and as such is a pretty damn fine handset. Due to it being usurped by the 925 and 1020 there are some bargains to be had. At launch one could pick a SIM free, unlocked …
BlackBerry’s all-touch Z10 smartphone was released earlier this year to much fanfare here in the UK, and attempted to compete price-wise with the likes of the iPhone 5. It sold 1m worldwide in its first three months on sale, although a lack of sales figures since and some …
Let’s be honest, times are hard. The next smartphone you buy will probably be bought in one of two different ways. You’ll either get an unlocked phone or you can get a contract handset and sign up for two years or so. Getting out of that contract, by …
Regular readers will know that I’ve ditched my long-standing Orange contract mobe and switched to a rolling monthly deal instead. The benefits are that I’m not hooked into a 2-year deal, I’m spending less because I’m not subsidising that “free” handset, and I can hop to another network …
If you’re thinking about treating yourself to the wonderful OPPO Find 5 (like I did!) you may want to get in quick, because if you order one between now and the 31st July you will get a case and screen protector thrown in for free (unlike me!). If …
The Apple App store celebrates its 5th birthday on July 10th and as an early birthday present from Apple, you can get a range of top apps for free (and everyone likes free stuff). What’s more is that these aren’t your usual run of the mill apps there …
The HTC One X+ is rather special because of its huge internal memory. It has 64GB, yes 64GB and it is the deal of the week over at Expansys. They are on sale for £319.99 including VAT and delivery here. The specs are pretty good as well. – …
Remember last year Motorola announced a few phones and didn’t really bother to try and sell them in the UK? they left it to retailers like Expansys to sell them instead? Well if you always liked the look of the Motorola RAZR HD then now might be your …
Various retailers are selling off their stock of Windows Phone 8 devices. It’s mainly HTC and Samsung stock as Nokia sales are still strong. You fancy some Windows Phone action? Fancy it it cheap? Fancy catching a HTC in the process? You dirty monkey. Right now Expansys have …
Acer UK have announced that they are continuing their £20 cashback deal on purchases of the Acer Iconia B1 8GB and 16GB models, making the final price £79.99 and £99.99. If you’re after a cheap basic tablet then the B1 might be the one for you. Cashback is …
Come on, if you have a look in the back of the cupboard I’m sure you’ve got a few quid kicking around. If you can get £32.16 together then you can get a whopping 64GB of storage for your phone. This SanDisk Ultra MicroSD card is class 10 …
Times are hard. Just last week I had to downsize my second home to a condo in the Caribbean. Ohhhh the shame of it. If you’re looking to switch to a SIM only deal and get yourself a decent cheapo smartphone, have a look at the Acer Cloud …
Everything seems to cost a lot more than it used to and you’re working twice as hard for half the money. It’s rubbish. Phones are expensive, contracts are long and, if you’re on “certain” networks, the price goes up half-way through. To put it bluntly, we’re all a …
The best bit about Sundays has to be the lie-in. My son let me sleep until 6.15 this morning, so I’m up and looking for bargains whilst preparing breakfast. Today this SanDisk 32GB microSD card caught my eye. It’s available from GizzmoHeaven for just £14.99, and it’s a …
We’ve reviewed it and we’ve mentioned last month that it was down to less than £200. Now it’s even cheaper with the price dipping down to just £179.99, and that includes the delivery and everything. The handset will, of course, arrive unlocked and has a 4.3” IPS 1280×720 …
The Sumvision Cyclone Voyager tablet is back again and this time it’s an open box special at Misco. The 16GB tablet is a 1.6GHz dual-core ARM Cortex ARM CPU and there’s 1GB memory with 16GB internal storage. Yes, it’s only got an 7″ 800×480 pixel screen (everything will …
The guys from T-Mobile have a pretty decent deal on right now. It’s 5000 texts and 300 minutes per month plus another 500 minutes to T-Mobile customers every month. There’s also 750MB of data per month but, right now, they’re giving another 250MB of data per month for …
The Galaxy S4 is just around the corner now and, if I’m honest, I’m looking around for an upgrade. I’ve started looking for a more data on my next plan because I got kicked for going over my paltry 750MB data allowance with my current network… Doah… And …
There’s not a lot you can get for £48 these days. In fact, you’d be pushed to get a budget smartphone for that. How do you fancy a 7″ Android Ice Cream Sandwich tablet with a two year warranty thrown in? No, it’s not reconditioned, it’s not second …
I love lots of things, Otterbox cases, white things and not getting my phone smashed up. If you’re like me and you have a Galaxy SIII then a little deal that has appeared on Amazon may interest you. In preparation for the arrival of the Galaxy S4 this …
If you’re looking for the Samsung Galaxy S4 then you’ll probably be weighing up the options before entering into another long contract. Right now there’s a number of deals if you pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S4 in particular. Carphone Warehouse are offering up a free accessories bundle which …
The HTC One X was a great phone and still is a great phone, loved by many across the land. As is always the way leading up to a new device being released the old ones get discounted. So the HTC One is out very soon and the …
Money. It’s increasingly hard to come by. The recent Budget yet again showed that the country is really stretched. But, in the middle of it all, we’re still finding ways of affording phones that cost around £500. It is, if we’re honest, a lot of cash. If you …
This fell out of my local newspaper, so I thought I’d share the love. If you’d like to get anything from the Orange accessories store there’s a £5 voucher here. Just whack in “5offaccess” and you’ll see your total bill reduce by a fiver. There’s also 30& off …
From 9AM this morning, Orange will be discounting all of their Pay As You Go handsets under £250 by 20% for 48 hours. At time of writing, we think phones like the Samsung Galaxy SIII mini (which we reviewed here) and the HTC Desire C (also reviewed here) …
It’s 3.30 on a Friday afternoon. You’ve got £40 burning a hole in your pocket. Sure, you could go out tonight, get drunk and meet the love of your life. Or, you could stay at home, drink tea and buy yourself this GoTab Android tablet. It’s got a …
So, you’re going abroad and your normal knee-jerk reaction is to not use your phone. However, if you have to use the phone then you might look for a cheap roaming deal. A few UK operators are adding these add-on plans now, which is a start. My usual …
The Nokia Lumia 620 is a great little phone and as a result of a Facebook poll, O2 are knocking the price down today only. O2 are continuing the offer of giving you a voucher for a coloured shell as well, which you redeem with Nokia when …
Morning Coolsmartphoners. Got a few quid knocking around? You do? Fancy investing in an “iffy” Android tablet which probably won’t hold its charge and will be rubbish on WiFi when you’re more than 4 feet from the access point? You DO?! Well, have a nose at this. It’s …
