HTC recently released the HTC One X+, the update to the well received One X. After a small amount of pleading and thanks to the rather lovely guys at HTC, we here at Coolsmartphone have managed to get our grubby mitts on one to have a play with and write …
You’ve seen the news and the TV reports. A reporter, stood inside or next to an EE store slap-bang in the centre of London or Manchester. He lifts the handset, does a speed test and tells us how great 4G is. I could have done the same, but …
Well, the rumours of a short delay have now been proven totally false and we are glad to be able to tell you the the HTC One X+ is now available to buy! The handset, an update on the acclaimed HTC One X comes complete with 64gb internal …
Fast paced. Two words that sum up the mobile industry. HTC were, until fairly recently, riding high, but now share-price is heading to its lowest level for 7 years. Bloomberg are reporting that HTC dropped 7% to NT$219.50 after missing forecasts. Now analysts are starting to pitch in. …
If you are visiting the high street here in the UK today you may well notice a brand new name. With two yellow circles on a grey background, shop windows with no posters and clean fresh lines all over the place, the new brand that is EE has …

Halloween. We love it. Dishing out sweets to kids whilst trying not to look too much at their mother who’s just about dressed as a witch. Great stuff. On October 31st there’s no tricks because you can treat yourself (I’m sorry) to an unlocked HTC One X+, because …
My introduction to the Android platform came through the original HTC Desire. One of my bosses walked up to me knowing my love for phones and showed me his brand spanking new piece of kit, complete with scrolling widgets and all shiny and new. My search for a …
I wish I’d been on the podcast two weeks ago, to have a rant about the One X+. For some reason, this minor hardware update has completely set me off. The key selling point seems to be that it’s running Jellybean along with an updated version of Sense. …
HTC Japan have announced the HTC J Butterfly and boy is it a looker. It is a 5″ 1080p phone that looks a bit like a larger version of the One X. It is available in either White, Black or Red. Spec wise it is pretty impressive, packing …
The tablet market is a bit cut-throat. Most of the world buys an iPad without a thought of a spec comparison (yes I know it’s not that simple). Meanwhile companies such as Amazon sell hardware at cost to recoup revenue through content, and now Google and Asus are …
Times are a little tough at HTC. Just a year or two ago there were HTC handsets everywhere. All shapes and sizes. Now everything seems to have spun around. Despite reducing their portfolio and concentrating heavily on the HTC One handsets there’s been a distinct deflation in the …
There’s been rumblings of a new Nexus 7 showing up on the interwebs recently. Currently the only two models available are 8Gb and 16Gb models, but Droid Life managed to grab a screen shot from the Carphone Warehouse inventory system which displayed a forthcoming 32Gb option. The information …
Over in America today AT&T and HTC announced two new phones which will join the HTC One family. They both get Beats Audio and have 4G LTE connectivity. The One X+ is the very same one we saw announced on October 2nd here in Europe. The boosted version …
On Tuesday Comscore published their latest figures on market share in the US.The statistics relate to quarter 3 2012 and do not take account of the launch of iPhone 5. Once again Google and Apple have seen percentage gains, Apple saw their market share grow by 2.4% to …
Tucked away in a leafy part of London yesterday I was given the opportunity to have a play with EE’s new 4G handsets running on the brand spanking new 4G network. The handsets on show were the newly announced Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE, the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE, …

Recently there were rumours going around that HTC were going to give their flagship Android device, the One X, a makeover and giving it the name of One X+. Well, HTC haven’t actually officially confirmed this handset even exists, but O2 have been more than obliging by printing …
Phones come and phones go, sometimes leaving a whole legacy behind them, sometimes just disappearing without much of a fuss. The HTC Sensation XL was never the most outstanding phone, mainly due to the fact it was a single core device in competition with its dual core companions. …
There has been much speculation about the next Nexus device. Some saying that there will be several manufacturers all making different Nexuses (Nexi?), others saying that Samsung will just revamp the current Nexus for now. These could, of course, both be true. However, GSMArena are now saying that …
Here at Coolsmartphone each of the writers goes through an inordinate amount of handsets and accessories that go with them. We each have our own favourite suppliers that we find to be reliable and prompt. We therefore thought that we would bring a profile of the ones that …
The other day HTC held a press event with no live public feed. It meant that some of us only got to see bits and bobs from the event. Well for those that missed out HTC have published the event on their YouTube channel and here it is. …
We’ve spied a couple of pretty great deals if you’re up for a new Windows Phone handset. First up, down at Asda, they’ve got the Nokia Lumia 800 for just £149. I mean sure, the Windows Phone 7 OS is going to be replaced in a matter of …
The Windows Phone 8X by HTC will be available everywhere pretty soon. Available in a range of colours, it has a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU and is powered by the all-new Windows Phone 8. The guys at Expansys have now announced pricing of the SIM-free model – a cool …
Yesterday saw HTC announced two new Windows Phone 8 devices – the HTC 8X and 8S – almost immediately after Nokia had done exactly the same thing with the Lumia 920 and 820. Whilst Nokia seemed to get massive criticism for their phones, HTC got quite a bit …
Sure, it wasn’t quite as amazing as the Nokia event, but pretty good none the less. Yesterday afternoon HTC announced their new Windows Phone devices. We initially thought there was going to be three devices, but they brought out two. The Window Phone 8X and the 8S. They …

This afternoon HTC have announced the 8X and 8S and boy do they look nice. My decision over which Windows Phone 8 device to get has just got a lot harder. To possibly help you HTC have posted a video about the design behind the new phones. Here …
Ben Rudolph (the “Smoked by Windows Phone” guy) from Microsoft has posted a hands on video of the HTC 8X and 8S. We’re probably going to have to wait a while before we actually see one ourselves, so in the meantime make do with this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgJC91D9qlY
Following the Windows Phone 8X, the 8S has a slightly smaller screen and slightly reduced specs. Up front there’s a 4″ WVGA 800×480 pixel screen with Gorilla Glass and super LCD display. Powered by a 1GHz dual-core chip, it uses a microSIM and has the same Beats Audio …
HTC have, if we’re honest, had a rough time of it recently. Today in New York it seems like there’s a new direction. HTC have suffered against the relentless and huge Samsung marketing budget. Not only that, but there’s now an endless supply of handsets with similar functionality. …
HTC have been getting a bit of a beating recently. With competitors all having similar specs, it’s becoming harder and harder to have a new or different feature that makes you stand out from the crowd. Meanwhile, a massive marketing campaign from Samsung has seen their SIII handset …
HTC are normally the trailblazers when it comes to pushing the boundaries of large mass market mobile phones. Remember laughing at the ridiculously big 4.3 inch screens on the HD2 and Desire HD? Then the big old Sensation XL stretched things again. But then came Samsung’s Galaxy Note …
The One X is already the HTC’s flagship Android phone, and it’s a bit of a beast when it comes to raw processing figures, but, not content with ‘just’ a 1.5GHz Tegra 3 quad core processor, they’ve decicided to give it a power up! We’re working on rumours …
Today HTC posted their revenue figures for this month, confirming what we can – or rather can’t see in people’s hands, namely the One X and S aren’t selling in the same numbers as they did at the same point last year. They’re announcing unaudited consolidated revenue for …
So the dust is beginning to settle after the so-called tech court case of the decade. Apple has come out the victor and Samsung supposedly have been crushed – or at least their lawyers have. So what’s next? For Apple it will be business as usual, there will …
