Nokia have this morning announced the Lumia 925. Dan has been posting hands on pictures here. Networks have been announcing their intentions here and now Nokia have posted a load of promo videos on YouTube. They basically show some of the key features of the Lumia 925. They …
So here in London, Nokia just announced the new Lumia 925 to the world and it is an absolute beauty with sleek aluminium unibody edge with gorilla glass 2 screen which is just stunning and a polycarbonate back. We are about to have a special Q&A session with …
Today Nokia have announced the Lumia 925 and as is the norm on a new device day we get a LOT of emails from from retailers and networks about their deals and tariffs. This post will grow over the next few days as we get more and more …
Nokia have just announced the brand new Lumia 925 to the world here in London and we are going hands on with it in the next few minutes. The Lumia 925 has an impressive set of specifications for the new Nokia flagship phone and this carries on from …
It’s fair to say that Samsung’s success with the Galaxy S3 has been nothing short of astonishing. The handset even gave the lauded iPhone 5 a run for it’s money in terms of pure numbers, and for good reason. Great performance, a slim plastic (sorry Samsung, polycarbonate) shell …
Samsung are ramping up the marketing machine as the Galaxy S4 nears release and, rather than using anti-Apple smeer campaigns like at the launch of the Galaxy SIII, they’ve published some videos demonstrating the software features they feel are the most innovative. The Samsung Galaxy S4 was announced …
As you will be well aware by now, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is going to be launched at the Samsung Unpacked event this evening – we’ll be covering it live here. It appears, however, that we may not need to wait for the event to know what is …
With the big Samsung launch happening later this week, Mobile World Congress is quickly becoming a hazy memory. However, like last year, we put together a video showing you some “behind the scenes” footage from the event. This, by the way, was all filmed on the Sony Xperia …
Another Alcatel handset with a dual-SIM version and it’s this – the One Touch Star. Shock, horror, there’s only one version of this particular device (Alcatel are famed for making several flavours of each device). This one is a sort-of mid-range puppy with a 5 megapixel shooter (plus …
We took a look at the three Orange handsets that were announced a few days back at MWC. Two of them, the Orange Lumo and the Orange Nivo, are made by Gigabyte, whilst the Orange Remo is made by Alcatel. First, let’s take a look at the Orange …
The Android OS is represented this year by just a few guys in Android outfits. They’re running around and generally hugging random strangers. I always find that a little weird, because without the suits you’d be batting them away with a spade. The OS itself is, of course, …
We knew about the Huawei Ascend W1, and this morning we found out that O2 are picking it up. You can get one of these Windows Phone 8 devices for £120 from next month on Pay and Go or just £13.50 per month on contracts. Inside there’s a …
OK I buckled. Yesterday we had a very informative and direct demo of the Huawei Ascend P2, but today I went back to get another one. Don’t ask me why. It’s got a long-life 2420mAh battery, quad-core 1.5GHz CPU, 16 GB storage and a 4.7″ screen. Here a …
Remember last year? Remember NEC at Mobile World Congress 2012 ? They were showing off some rather swish handsets, but unfortunately they were all firmly behind glass and sadly not fully functional. The NEC Medias W really interested me however I couldn’t see a great deal of it …
So we have had some time with the Lumia 720 yesterday after it’s announcement, today we managed to get hold of one of the reps for the Lumia 520 and talk us through some of the main features of this new low end yet powerful affordable smartphone running Windows …
There are so many great phones out there at times the team end up getting hands on two at the same time. This can be a good thing because it brings different opinions and thoughts to the table and helps create more content for you all to read. …
The HTC One press launch wasn’t the only place for people to see and feel the HTC One handset. The Phones 4u store in Oxford Street is letting people have a play with this hot new Android handset and they’ve sent us some advertising bits which I won’t …
Here it is then, the HTC One. This huge event at the German Gymnasium in London wasn’t just a phone launch or the confirmation that the leaked M7 was indeed the HTC One. This was showing what mobile companies must do now, because all phones are getting similar …
Remember that story about Goldilocks and the three bears? The little tike broke into their house, gobbled up some porridge, tried out some chairs and then went and had a kip on all the beds. The naughty little sausage. But what’s “just right” for you eh? The big …
RIM are about to launch a massive attack on the iOS and Android dominance in the mobile industry with their new BB10 operating system, and for the once-mighty manufacturer this new launch cannot come soon enough. Having been totally rebuilt using new modern technologies, the new BlackBerry devices …
Last week you’ll remember we announced the winners of our Kindle Fire Accessories give-away. To make sure you guys with the older Kindles aren’t left out MobileFun sent me a case for my Kindle Keyboard to show to you guys. Press play, sit back and enjoy the video. I’ve had this for …
We’ve done 28 Episodes of the Coolsmartphone Audio podcast and whilst we still think its great, we’ve decided to toss in a new dimension. Now you’ll be able to gaze upon the team whilst they discuss the news in the world of mobile technology. Audio Only Download
We took a look at the Motorola RAZR i a few weeks back but I was quite intrigued by it so tomorrow we’ll have a second review. Until then, here’s an example filmed on the new handset. The camera is an 8 megapixel, 3264 x 2448 unit which …
So, we asked Samsung if we could have a few minutes with the SIII Mini. Just a few precious minutes. They laughed at us. They made us cry. They pulled our hair. Meanwhile, another website called All About Samsung has got hold of it… but hey, they put …
We’ve seen the live blog and the specs for the RAZRi and now we’ve got some promo videos. They’re basically the RAZR M videos with a new name but here you go anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyWeVtXPCII http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC6X9azWHuw
Missed all the fun last night? You can now watch the special launch event on Apple.com, however it’s already been ripped to YouTube. It’s nearly 2 hours long, so get yourself a coffee … and some food… The Foo Fighters are sadly missing… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-T8CpYo7Kw&feature=youtu.be
Real? Well, with the event just hours away why would you spend so many hours faking this? We’re going to have to assume it’s the real deal for now but we’ll know more when or live coverage starts tomorrow. 🙂 The video seems to reveal fingerprint recognition and …
Everything Everywhere tell us that they have something “Brand New” and will be introducing a new network technology today. We’re on site live with all the latest as it happens..
OK, firstly I want to say that I and the team at Coolsmartphone have a fairly well rounded respect for mobile platforms other than the one we currently use (and we do all use different phones!) I have a lot of time for Windows Phone, and have eagerly …
Yesterday Nokia sort of mislead people about the Pureview video they showed. In that it wasn’t actually filmed with a Lumia 920. Today they have posted a 16 second video showing real footage using the 920 and another smartphone. Here it is, the shot on the right is …
Nokia are assembling in New York for a major Windows Phone 8 launch. This is a critical stage for them, and they’ll no doubt be hoping that it’s not going to turn out like the Lumia 900 launch just a few months back. That quickly turned into hefty …
Sony unveiled the new Tablet S at IFA last week in Berlin and today they have posted a little introduction video to the tablet. Interestingly it shows a landscape dock as well as some other things you’d expect it to be able to do. Do more, watch more, …
A couple of months ago I took my car to an Audi dealer for repair. The £20 job quickly turned into a £700 repair bill and, no matter how many times it was explained to me, I couldn’t fully understand what all the techy mechanical stuff meant. Now …
So you’re new to the whole Android thing. You accidentally bought a Nexus 7 in the last few weeks. How on earth are you meant to set it up? Well Google have the answers in the form of a nice little video. No camping this time. If you …
Yesterday you may have read our review of the Huawei Ascend P1. It’s safe to say that we raved about this particular phone quite a bit. For the money it really is a great bit of kit with a fantastic screen and a great camera. Just to show …
We’ve spent a week with the hot new Samsung Galaxy SIII thanks to the guys at UR-Mobile.com. Today we’re taking you through the interface itself. There’s a lot of personalisation and different ways to view apps.. plus… HEY! It’s filmed in the car !
One other feature we’ve not covered in the SIII just yet is “Pop-up video”. It’s perhaps a “nice to have” rather than an essential feature, but it’s still worth taking a look at. Here’s me loading a video and then watching it anywhere within the OS. It can …
There’s really no doubt about it, the S3 is a gorgeous looking thing. You can hardly stop yourself from flipping it around in your hand. It’s beautifully sculpted and really does feel like a smooth pebble in your hand. As far as specs go you’re all set. A …
It’s Friday! Yay! Well, if you’ve been watching our “Week with..” you’ll have noticed that there’s one feature we’ve not covered yet. S-Voice, the voice-recognition system built into the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Many have compared it to the Siri function on the iPhone 4S. Here, I do my …
Every day this week we’re bringing you a little bit of Samsung Galaxy SIII fun. Today it’s the turn of the camera and video. You may have seen “DLNA” mentioned quite a bit in your local branch of Currys and it can perhaps be a little confusing. Various …
