We get a lot of review kit here at Coolsmartphone. What we try and do now is, after reviewing something, get a nice discount code for you guys to use. So, here’s another one. This is for the Lumsin 5-port wall charger that we reviewed just the other …
A new website has just launched which compares SIM-free and network-free phone deals. It should, according to the people behind it, ensure that you get the best deal on your next mobile and / or talk plan. They estimate that the average consumer will save £330 buying from …
My experience of streaming TV at the weekend was, let me tell you, thoroughly disappointing. My son wanted to watch Iron Man 2 and so I set off trying to find a streaming service offering it. That bit alone was tricky. We couldn’t find a page detailing what …
Walking around with that low battery notice on your phone is always going to put you on edge. So, to charge on the move, your going to need something like this. This is the Lumsing Harmonica 10,400mAh dual-port power bank and yes, it really is designed to look …
There are lots of streaming music services out and it often isn’t just the quantity and quality of the back catalogue that dictates which we subscribe too. I recently discovered that university graduates can pay a £12 annual subscription to get an NUS Extra card, which then entitles you …
OK, weird one this. If you want to get yourself a brand new Google Nexus 6P, just head to the Google Play Store. It’s easy. It’s marked up at £449 for the 32GB version, £499 for the 64GB one and £579 for the 128GB version. Trouble is, all …
It seems a bizarre and almost desperate pitch. Imagine a smartphone manufacturer offering up a £469.99 smartphone and then, if you buy it, giving you a phone worth £419.99 completely free. That’s be insane. You’d think that the manufacturer had totally lost the plot. You’d think that they …
If you just want an e-reader and you’re not worried about all the extra gubbins, Amazon have lopped £22 off their Paperwhite today. There’s free delivery on this too, and this has got a battery that will last for weeks rather than hours. No colour screen, no apps, …
Fancy yourself a rather cool Pebble smartwatch? The entire range appears to have had a price cut today over on Amazon, where the Pebble Steel is down to £104.99 with a £4.09 delivery charge and the Pebble Time is down to £169.99. There’s other choices too, including the …
Come close dear friends, because I have a confession. My normal, “go-to” handset has (for quite some time now) been the LG G4. I’m a big fan of the thing, but since the Huawei P9 launch event I’ve had that phone in my pocket instead. I can qualify …
Some time ago I took out a 12 month EE SIM-only plan. It was a pretty good deal I thought, and delivered 4GB of data every month for £19.99. Not bad, but it was made even better thanks to a cashback offer I’d grabbed. It brought the monthly …
I don’t want to sound like an Android fan here, but just imagine how the world would react if a 4″ Android phone appeared tomorrow. Anyhoo, yesterday the new iPhone SE went on sale. It has a 4″ Retina display (1136 x 640 pixel at 326 ppi), an …
Newly-released high-end phones are always going to be expensive, and the LG G5 is no exception. If you look on most online stores and want to get the SIM-free version it’s going to set you back around £529. However, there is a way to get it for £391.99 …
Right, you know the deal. The Honor 5X is already a crackin’ bit of kit for the money. It’s got a 5.5″ 1080×1920 display and is powered by an Octa-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 CPU. There’s a 13 megapixel rear camera sensor (f/2.0 with dual-LED flash) and a …
Money. Nobody ever has enough. However, if you like apps (and who doesn’t) and you watch those little preview videos on Google Play, listen up because you can get paid for watching those. A new app called AppTrailers lets you earn cash just by watching a short clip. Your …
EE have returned with their rather insane SIM-only data-only plan. You get double-speed 4G data and a massive 25GB monthly allowance for just £15! Here’s how to get it. Head to the SIM Only EE pages and choose the £30 25GB package at the bottom. Then open the …
I tend to dip into Quidco every now and then. It’s especially useful if you’re about to start a contract – and that can be a broadband deal, TV package or a new gas supplier. If you’re looking around for a mobile deal then it’s beneficial too, and …
Walking around the shops in Burton-upon-Trent, I couldn’t help but notice just how popular CEX and GAME were. The front of each store had a window with lots of phones and tablets that have been traded in. You can then, obviously, buy them but at a knock down …
I need you to tick a few boxes for me. Do you have kids? Do you want to watch a feature-length family-friendly movie this weekend? How about paying absolutely nothing for it? Sound good? Head to Google Play and, if you’re in the right country (the full list includes …
Well, like I said at the launch event, Samsung know how to launch a phone. They know how to advertise it and sell it too. In fact, you may remember our earlier story about their finance deals. Well, come close to the screen friends, because for today only …
Currys / PC World have halved the price of the Chromecast Audio this weekend. The gadget, which plugs into your stereo or amplifier, will let you cast tunes and YouTube videos from your phone simply and easily Normally it’s £30 but they’ve dropped it to £15 until Monday. …
Some of us haven’t bought into this whole paid streaming music malarky for reasons. It may be that you already have a big enough music selection that you don’t get time to listen to the artists you already have, it could be that when people talk about discoverability …
Fancy getting yourself one of these this weekend? Three want you to head over, because they’ve got some deals on the iPhone 6s with possible savings up to £216 – but this weekend only. The only minor caveat is that these offers are on their two year deals, …
Yesterday we took a look at the upcoming Bluboo Xwatch, which is due to go on sale for just £69.39. However, for £89.99 you can grab the Asus Zen Smart Watch, which has been reduced over on ebuyer. We featured this first back in 2014 and has a …
I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas break and you’re all now ready to go back out to the shops in a frenzy of retail craziness. Today we’ve got a few of the mobile gadget bargains that you’ll be seeing, including this rather cheap Pebble Smartwatch. It’s …
We’re all feeling far too fat. There’s still boxes of chocolates everywhere and for breakfast we had turkey on toast. Still, despite the fact that we should probably all be relaxing, loads of you will be out in the sales to finally demolish any remaining allowance you had …
Yes, we’re getting emails from PR agencies telling us about January sales already. This one is from Three, who are launching their “biggest SIM sale ever”. They’re offering half price SIM-only deals for as little as £4 for the first three months of a 12 month plan. Not …
Right, you’ve only got a few hours on this one, so be quick. We know that the Honor 7 has been dropped in price from the vMall already, but this offer is now direct from Amazon and includes free UK delivery. The Honor 7 has been dropped in …
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 …
If you’re looking to get a phone for someone this Christmas then you may have already had a read of our how-to. It details the best way to switch contracts. However, if you want to get yourself a SIM-only deal and carry on using your existing phone, you …
Remember when HTC used to give away Beats headphones with their smartphones? Ahh, those were the days. Now, thanks to lots of “accidental” shots of Beats headphones in many music videos and a big advertising budget, Beats is a bit brand there’s usually a premium price tag connected …
Wait, wait, I know what you’re thinking. “PLEASE! No more deals! I’ve had Red Thursday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and far too many offers in between! NO MORE!! I’ve got no money left!” I’ve got to do this one though. A 128GB microSD card for just £22.76? It’s …
Remember those little TrackR gadgets that attach to your prized possessions? They’re designed to locate your luggage, bags and other valuables so that you don’t lose them. They don’t use full GPS and instead rely on Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) to alert you when you go out of …
Yesterday Vodafone started off the weekend price cuts with Red Thursday. Today a lot of those deals are extended, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 which is down to £37 per month with no upfront cost (10GB of data on a 2 year contract). Also, and in-store only, …
The mobile site isn’t responding and the desktop site has no mention of it (actually as I was writing this article it is now showing up but not actually working). Is it another curse of the “Black Friday” with too many people trying to access it, or did …
You might call it “that day when shops just reduce stuff that was far too expensive anyway”, you might call it “a great opportunity to get a bargain” or you may just call it “that day when people park like utter idiots everywhere and descend on the high …
Those canny folk over at Big Red have stolen a march on Black Friday by coming up with Vodafone Red Thursday… to cut a longish story short, Vodafone Red Thursday – today – is offering some pretty neat deals. They’re starting today, but there are more to come …
Whilst a £30 saving might not sound like much, when you consider that this phone was only £129.49 in the first place, the new £99.99 price-tag is really rather good. The handset has 4G connectivity, a 13 megapixel rear camera and a quad core Snapdragon 410 CPU. There’s also …
Moto have kicked off their Black Friday offerings with deals running through until Monday. You can get cheap Moto handsets at a lot less than you’d normally pay. As an example, the Moto X Play has had a £60 reduction, knocking it down from £279 to £219. Meanwhile, …
It’s time for the Black Friday madness, so this weekend giffgaff have let us know about their offers and it’s a massive £100 off a selection of their best-selling phones. These deals go live at 8AM today. Here’s the run-down… – Samsung S6 – was £399 but during …
