My first impressions on this one definitely surrounded the size of the phone. It’s quite a weighty and large device at 218 grams and 9.3mm thick. Compare that to the 199g weight and 8.5mm thickness of something like the OnePlus 8 Pro. Sure, the extra 19 grams might …
After getting my 8 thousandth email from TomTop.com today I thought I’d spotted a new Xiaomi phone. Sadly no, it’s a nail clipper. Not just any nail clipper though, oh no. This is an “anti-splash defence spatter nauil knife 420”. Yowser. For just £5.75 you can this anti-rust …
The Google Pixel 4 has now been launched. It’s got a 5.7″ 1080×2280 pixel HDR P-OLED screen (19:9 with “up to 90Hz” and 444ppi), 6GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 855 octa-core (1×2.84 GHz Kryo 485 & 3×2.42 GHz Kryo 485 & 4×1.78 GHz Kryo 485) CPU with …
Here in the UK Xiaomi are relatively new. They launched officially in November and their new Mi 9 has done very well so far. In London last year we were told again that their hardware net profit margins will be “capped” at 5%. Their CEO, Lei Jun, made …
The fairly random “A range” of Samsung devices don’t usually get the same level of coverage as the Galaxy S handsets, so let’s take a look at the new Samsung Galaxy A70 which was announced yesterday. This one has a 6.7″ FHD+ (1080×2400) Super AMOLED Infinity display with …
The jury is out on this one, but it comes via Mr Blass, who’s the kind of leaks round these parts. Is this real? Is this fake? It’s up to you decide. Even if it is real, would you use or want something like this? Or are we …
You’ll know from posts like this that we’ve been around the internet for quite some time now. We remember when a Palm device looked like this, but now a “Palm” is going to look like this… In my head this is a lot like the Unihertz Jelly Pro …
The year 2018 is a year of surprises to consumers who are expecting to be amazed with the happenings in the tech industry. While this year may have had somehow lived up to the expectation with the recent release of the latest Samsung smartphone flagship, there are still …
Right now on Banggood.com the Leagoo S9 is on a presale offer for less than £100. Wait a minute though. The Leagoo S9? Wha? I know. Not a well-known brand, but check out the specs. It’s got a 5.85″ HD+ 19:9 screen (1512 x 720) and run Android …
Maria from Dog & Bone got in touch recently about this new rugged, slim, waterproof and drop proof iPhone X case. However, although we can show it to you, we don’t have an iPhone X to hand, so this is where you can step in. This “Wetsuit Impact” …
No prizes for guessing what this handset reminds you of design-wise. It is, to be honest, the second handset with a “notch” that I saw in the very same hall, and some manufacturers aren’t afraid if taking “design ideas” from Apple. On the NOA stand it was the …

This morning an email dropped into my mailbox from Banggood. Within the promotional mail was a link to the DOOGEE MIX 2. This is now down to just £153.70 – that’s 30% cheaper than previously. I’ve not reviewed this one personally but the specs do seem very decent …
Yes people, I’m learning the Daily Mail-style of click-bait again, in the vein hope that we’ll have enough advertising revenue to pay for the servers this month (sadly, ad-blocking is killing our revenue). OK, long story short. Imagine you want to create a Portable Gaming System. Something running …
There’s 100 of these to review for free and, if you have a look at this page, share the activity, leave a comment on their page, then .. well – you could do all that or you could perhaps buy one instead. The phone is, by the looks …
I don’t know about you but I love taking photos with my phone. Today we have phone cameras that are really rather excellent. They’re right up there with the compact cameras that we used to carry around a few years ago. There is, however, still the long-standing issue of …
The BlackBerry KEYone is a device we saw being launched in Barcelona at MWC. I’ve had one for a while and a review is coming soon to Coolsmartphone.com. In the meantime, here are some hands on shots of the device, with plenty of greenery in the background.
It’s no real surprise that when to comes to mobile devices with physical keyboards, Blackberry were the industry leaders. But despite this the company slowly declined, beginning with the company ending the use their own Operating System, and then not even producing devices, but using rebranded TCL devices (well hello, …
If you’re wanting to keep an eye on your child and want a no-frills way of finding out where they are, here’s a way I recently stumbled across. What you’ll need, in this particular setup, is a cheap Android phone for your son or daughter. These are everywhere …
Head to Amazon and you can pick up a ZTE Blade V7 for a pretty small amount of cash. For your money you’ll get a phone with a 5.2″ 1080 x 1920 pixel screen, Android 6.0 and an octa-core 1.3GHz CPU. It also comes with 2GB RAM, 16GB …
The launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 was explosive, but sadly not in the right way. Batteries seem to be melting through the handset as it’s charged and the advice now appears to be, “Woah there! Put the phone down! Put it DOWN” If you’re in the UK …
Prime Day has been and gone. I made the most of Prime Day and ordered a magenta coloured Fire tablet for my better half and 168 pouches of cat food. Great deals! On that note, you may have not missed out on all the deals yesterday: the Honor …
Sadly, I’ll need to be sending back the Meizu M1 Note that I’ve borrowed to review. The fact that it’s so cheap and so good has already got me back onto the internet looking for bargains, and I’ve stumbled across the XIAOMI Redmi2 pro for just $129.99, which …
Lenovo today announced that it’ll be bringing three new Android-powered devices into its 2014 lineup, catering to all corners of the market – if you’re in a country where the devices are sold, that is. We reported last year on Lenovo’s announcement of the Vibe Z, a high-end Snapdragon …
When Google launched Android Device manager it was purely as a web interface. This however has now changed as the new Android Device Manager app has appeared in the Google Play Store. The app will help you to locate devices associated with your Google account, reset your devices …
Just the other day we told you about Android Device Manager. Now it looks to be arriving via a new version of Google Play Services. If you’ve not got that then you can download it here. This is early stuff at the minute, and it may be worth …
Smartphones are now available in all different shapes and sizes, from high end to mid range to low end. Along with this variation in range is a large variation in price but one thing that is certain is that you will be shelling out an awful lot of …
