Hello again. This is day four but I’ve taken all weekend to write this part. I’ve taken my time because there was a big update to the Mi 8 Pro which has fixed the Strava issues I had last week. Now, when I fire up Strava, it states …
Morning all. So, I had a lovely intro to this third day with the Mi 8 Pro. You can see our story so far here. This morning though, I woke up to find that the Mi 8 Pro had received an update, and the GUI looked remarkably different. …
This morning I woke up. It was a bright, sunny day and the birds were gently tweeting their morning chorus. It made me feel lucky to be alive. I couldn’t wake to spring out of bed and greet the day with big, open arms. Ah well, no. Not …
I went a bit crazy about the Mi 8 Pro during the launch. Was it the free wine they were giving out? Was it the fact that it was 3 o’clock in the afternoon and I was drinking on an empty stomach? Well, perhaps some of that, but …
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 …
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 …
About a year ago I reviewed the £99 Unihertz Jelly Pro. It had 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a microSD slot and ran Android 7 on a quad-core 1.1GHz chip. Oh, and did I mention? It was tiny. Only around 9cm tall and about 4cm wide. The …
Getting a new smartphone to enjoy is a big thing for many people. This is, after all, the device you plan to use every day for the next 2 years. It will be a big part of your life, from calls to taking those beautiful photos. Just as …
Introduction The Mate 20 Pro has to be the highest-spec phone I have used to date, with its new Kirin 980 7nm processor, 6GB RAM, a huge Quad HD display, massive battery…and the triple camera on the back. The Mate 20 Pro really does scream top end specs. …
Well, I totally busted the content of this story in the title didn’t I? Well, there’s a minor caveat – you’re going to have to spend £50 per month for this particular contract and £29 up-front – but you do get 26GB of monthly data for that. Other …
As this is Coolsmartphone, we haven’t rolled out our Huawei Mate 20 Pro review just yet because we like to review things in-depth. As is usual, we’ve put our main SIM into the device and we’re using it as our main phone, just as you guys would. However, …
What do you get when you pick the best smartphone specs on offer today, bundle them into a single handset, and top it off with a beautiful design? Answer: Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The new flagship device from the Chinese smartphone giant is outrageously impressive and has definitely …
If you want to see more about the new Huawei Mate 20 Pro, look no further than our video hands-on.. It’ll be on sale on October 26th, but you can pre-order it already. First of all, Sky Mobile (who use O2 masts) have announced prices, which start at …
Here in London Huawei have announced three new devices which will be on sale shortly. All offer an interesting set of specifications. To give you the maximum amount of info in the quickest time, here’s a video showing my favourite – the Mate 20 Pro… The Mate 20 …
We’re sat in a very busy ExCeL centre here in London for the Huawei global keynote presentation. We’re going to see the launch of the newest Huawei handsets and we’ll be bringing you a hands-on demovery soon indeed. We’ve got our laptops, we’ve got our cameras, we’ve got …
Something is in the air people. Yes. I can feel it. When Vodafone called to try and keep me as a customer (here’s how that’s going by the way), they offered me a Huawei handset. I asked them how the Huawei handsets were doing against the likes of …
Whenever I write “giffgaff” on my phone it seems to change it to “guffguff”. Personally I think they’re missing a trick there. Anyhow, Network of the Year for three consecutive years (according to uSwitch) has some great deals on if you’re looking to bag the excellent P20 or …
Last year we reviewed the teeny-tiny Unihertz Jelly Pro. It’s a regular Android phone, but shrunken down to 7.8 x 12.5 x 5 cm with a 2.45″ screen. There’s everything in there that you’d expect. WiFi, GPS, 4G and all the usual apps, but it’s tiny enough to …
A few days ago I took a look at Huawei Desktop Mode. It’s part of EMUI 8.0 and it’s available on the Mate 10 Series handset I’ve got at the moment. It gives you a larger desktop experience which is almost like my Chromebook, but everything is powered by …
OK, so this is how the story goes. I was reading the excellent review of the Huawei P20 that Dan had written. Garry had written an equally brilliant P20 Pro review and I was keen to learn more about this whole “Huawei Desktop Mode” thing. So, I had …
So, this is a bit mental, but believe me, it’ll be worth it. Today, in Soho, Huawei have setup a popup store. However, things are a bit .. different in this particular store. They’re offering the rather excellent Huawei P20 Pro. It’s the one we raved about in …
As you can see I have made a fairly bold statement up there. That my friends, was not just for clickbait. It was a serious intended question, which during the course of this review I intend to answer. I have had the privilege of testing a few of …
The glitz and the glamour are done, so now it’s time to get the real work done. The unboxing of the P20 Pro. So, let’s dive into the video first and then we can analyse the phone further.. Let’s start at the top of the phone and work …
After the big launch in Paris, Garry has now uploaded an unboxing video for you all to enjoy. The P20 Pro, as you saw in the earlier post, has three cameras – a 40MP RGB sensor, a 20MP Monochrome sensor and an 8MP sensor for Optical Zoom. …
We have covered lots already on the impressive new devices from Huawei, and we have now had release information through from EE. Both the P20 and P20 Pro will be available to order from tomorrow, the 28th March, with a launch date of 6th April. EE will be …
As you might already be aware, Huawei have just announced the brand new P20 and P20 Pro in Paris, and as expected we are now getting network information through. Three have just confirmed that pre-orders will start tomorrow and the device will come into stock on the 6th …
Bonjour! We’re in Paris for the launch of the new Huawei handsets. They’ve just taken the wraps off their latest devices – the Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro. We have already seen a lot of leaks about these devices but now it’s time to put these leaks …
I’ve seen leaks before, but the Huawei P20 has drowned us in a torrent of pictures and specs. Today, in not-very-long-at-all, we’re going to see the three handsets in the flesh, but earlier in the month we had Vodafone telling us all about them before we started seeing …
I have a bit of a problem with fitness trackers. Those that I’ve looked at in the past have inevitably come from the cheaper end of the spectrum and were Chinese imports. Y’know the sort – a brand you don’t truly recognise, but it’s £10. The thing is, …
Nokia. Remember them? Well, of course you do. They’re still around. However, when Microsoft swallowed them up and started sticking Lumia branding all over them, there was one thing we kina liked. The camera technology. Anyone remember the Nokia Lumia 1020? It had a 41 megapixel PureView camera, and …
Next Tuesday is a very special day indeed. It’s my son’s birthday! Yes yes, everyone wish him a happy birthday! It’s also the launch of a new set of Huawei handsets. Away from the craziness of Mobile World Congress, Huawei have decided to announce their new devices at …
Just the other day Vodafone confirmed that they were going to range the P20, P20 Lite and the P20 Pro. To be honest we knew that the P20 was coming but we weren’t aware that there was going to be a P20 Lite or a P20 Pro. What …
Last year here at Mobile World Congress we saw the Hisense Rock and the Hisense A2 with its dual-screen arrangement. The latter was pretty interesting because the eInk rear panel meant that you could read books or place an image on the rear side without it nailing your …
This is another very impressive handset from Xiaomi. The Redmi Note 5 Pro is very new, appearing only this month, so a lot of visitors were trying to get hold of the phones which were being displayed here in Barcelona. The Note 5 Pro has a 5.99″ 1020 …
We all know that the dawn of self-driving cars is rapidly approaching, Tesla is pushing the boundaries every day. I have driven the new Nissan Leaf with Pro-Pilot and my standard battlecruiser (aka VW Passat Estate) has got the basics of it in the form of auto cruise …
Out here in Barcelona I have the 17,000mAh portable battery above. It’s this Xtorm one and is nearly two and half centimetres thick. It also weighs in at 214 grams. Carrying one of these in a necessary evil, especially when you’re using your phone as much as I …
A few days ago we had some mysterious postcards sent to us from Huawei. There was a definite emphasis on camera tech and, although we’re not expecting the handset in question to be announced at Mobile World Congress. This, we think, is all about the upcoming Huawei P20. …
Want one of these? Well, I’ve actually got one to give away shortly – more on that over the weekend. If you want to buy one, you’ll find it costing nearly £70 on Amazon. Booooo.. we want to pay less! Over to to Tesco then, and you’ll find …
It’s not arrived on my Honor 9 just yet, but Honor UK tell me that the Honor 8 Pro handsets should be getting a big dose of Oreo goodness very soon indeed. The company tell me that you’ll have improved boot times, better speed, more efficiency and reduced …
HTC, the company that used to have phones in pockets all around the world, have announced some new HTC VIVE kit in Las Vegas. There’s new Viveport VR and Vive Video where you can enjoy VR content more easily. The Viveport VR and Vive Video viewport has been …
