Got yourself a microSD slot? Want some more storage? How’s about 256GB? Well, normally you’d be looking at a card which has a bit less storage because, traditionally, 256GB would cost you quite a bit. However, right now you can get yourself a 256GB card for just £23.99. …

So, a few things have happened so far today. First, I kinda realised that, for the first time in a decade, I won’t be able to make it to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Gutted isn’t the word. In years gone by I’ve asked you guys for donations, …

Samsung have announced that they’ll be offering the world’s first 1TB eUFS (embedded Universal Flash Storage) solution for phone manufacturers, with mass production already underway. This means that phones will soon be able to have one terabyte of storage with a single flash memory chip. That means no …

As you’ll know, I’m pretty terrible at backing stuff up. I recently broke my Huawei phone and I still haven’t managed to get the thing fixed. All the photos were on there and I’m using an old Samsung with a cracked screen at the moment. Doah. So, if …

Hello there. We’re back. Apologies for the outage today. We’ve been unable to meet the costs of hosting this ever-expanding website this month, but thankfully readers such as Rob Deacon, James McCrudden, Andrew Smith, Dave Jones and Paul Caley added their donations and now we’re back. I could …

Guys! Big news! The sun came out! The sun ACTUALLY CAME OUT! I mean sure, we kinda nearly kicked off World War 3, but THE SUN ACTUALLY CAME OUT AND IT STOPPED RAINING ! Welcome to Britain. We’re thankful for small mercies. Right. Want a cheap microSD card? …

Whenever I put these deals online, someone will mention in the comments that they can get one cheaper elsewhere. If that happens, well … that’s good really. We like cheap 🙂 No matter what amount of on-board storage you have, you can fill if up easily, and no …

I review a lot of phones and one trend I’m definitely seeing is the addition of “phone health” apps. On Android they’re designed to keep your phone in shape. To make sure that rogue apps aren’t running in the background, sucking memory, power and space. Space, no matter …

Having lots of gadgets is seemingly the norm nowadays. Likewise, we’re seeing more and more solutions for charging them. Most of you will probably have one charger per device, which is great until you start getting a second phone, a tablet or you’ve got other members of your …

Just recently we took a look at the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive. It’s effectively a USB stick for your iPhone and iPad that’ll also plug into your computer so that you can back stuff up. It was £39.99 for the 32GB version. This one is a lot cheaper, …

We often highlight microSD cards, but it’s not often that we get one which is quite as large as this one. A massive 200GB of additional storage thanks to this SanDisk card, and it’s been reduced to £59.99. Whilst that still might seem like quite a bit of …

We’ve got something similar on test at the moment, but this is the new iKlips DUO+. Coming soon, it’s basically a flash drive for your iPhone. On one end, a Lightning connector, and at the other a USB. You plug it into the bottom of your phone, transfer …

It’s Bank Holiday morning here in England and, I’ll admit, I drank a little too much yesterday. However, I’m still on the hunt for deals and, because it’s the Bank Holiday weekend, there’s a pretty good offer on this microSD card, which comes with a reader too. Today …

As you’ll no doubt be aware by now, I’m terrible at organising my photos and videos. I’ve got the Meem cable to backup my stuff when I’m charging, but what if you want to have a flash drive on my iPhone instead? SanDisk have the answer people. This …

See? This is what gets me about cloud storage. You can spend hours, days, months and years uploading your treasured memories to an online drive, only for the provider in question to shut up shop. You’re then left scrambling around trying to find a new provider, or buying …

It’s a reoccurring news item for Samsung, and here we are again with their latest S7 handsets. This time there’s 8GB of storage consumed by applications and other “bloatware” additions out oflf the box. The base model of both the S7 and S7 edge handsets have a 32GB …

The white Kingston MobileLite Wireless G3 provides you with a rechargeable 5400 mAh battery in addition to a USB and SD Card storage options. The black Pro version also includes 64GB inbuilt storage and increases the battery to 6,700 mAh. Whilst not the lightest mobile battery I have …

Sure, it’s not exactly a huge amount of storage, but it’s a whole lot better than not having any extra and it takes just seconds to grab. All you need to do is head here and review your Google Account settings. It’ll run through the apps and devices …

Here at Coolsmartphone towers, a number of us use Chromebooks. I’m writing this from my Asus Chromebook Flip, which is a gorgeous device with its flip screen and brushed aluminium body. But the main problem with Chromebook is their lack of internal storage. It’s generally limited to a paltry …

Remember recently when Microsoft announced that it was going to reduce the storage it offered on OneDrive, and that the unlimited tier was going away because some people were treating it as – well, unlimited? I know that some people were using up to 75 TB of that …

I’m already getting a bit of Black Friday Blindness, but out of all the mails I’m receiving I’ve spotted this rather nice little gadget. It’s a SanDisk Ultra +Cloud Flash Drive. It plugs into your computer or laptop like every other USB pen drive, but this 64GB unit …

It’s a story we’ve seen repeated many times here at Coolsmartphone. First, a company offers something that’s unlimited. Then a small selection of customers heavily abuse that “unlimited” thing and the company starts to switch things around so that “unlimited” isn’t really “unlimited”. Here, Windows SkyDrive (sorry, OneDrive) …

I’ll admit to not really needing a 128GB microSD card. I steam a lot of music and tend to back up, but if you’re looking to save some of those “off-site backups” of movies or MP3s, this is probably your thing. Cost? £39.99, £7 off. Transfer speed? Up …

    I have been looking for a way to a carry more media on my trips without having to overload the storage of my devices. There have been various ways of doing this around for a while, including the standard-for-Android solution of USB On the Go. Now …

Handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S6 have now done away with microSD cards, so you generally have to stump up for the on-board storage you need when you purchase a phone. However, despite all the cloud solutions floating around, many still want to be able to transfer pictures …

Morning Sunday people! Rakuten, the site that used to be called Play.com, which was really easy-to-remember and obvious but has now changed into a confusing name that nobody can pronounce properly, have got a deal on. In short it’s a SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card that operates at …

High capacity internal storage is the realm of top-of-the-range flagship devices, which in turn commands a top price. Today Samsung announced a 3-bits-per-cell flash memory chip that promises 128GB of storage for “mass market” (read: more affordable) mobile devices. The 128GB storage solution is built using the more prevalent …

It looks like eBuyer are off-loading this Lexar 16GB microSD card today for less than half the normal price. If you still have a microSD slot in your phone then count yourself lucky my friend, as this 16GB Class 10 card is a quick way to boost your …

Now and again in life you read something, you just think “Wow that’s really quite cool!” well today was one of those days. Earlier today Archos sent out a press release talking about their new method of unifying the internal storage on their devices with the micro SD …

When I was looking around for some serious online storage I came up with this list of providers. They range in price and storage. I should’ve also mentioned flickr, as it’ll actually give you 1TB for nothing and you can use the mobile app to back your photos …
