Today we’re expecting to see the official details of the new Huawei P9. We’ve already had leaked information and even photos of the new device, but we’re here live in London to cover the Huawei #OO event in a special tag-team liveblog. I’m sitting next to Paul O’Brien …

Over the last month or so, we have been talking about the British Inventor’s Project and the famous inventions that came out of Birmingham. All the nominees were exhibiting at the recent Gadget Show Live event. I got to meet the fantastic Sumi Wang and experience a ride …

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 …

Meizu, the Chinese smartphone brand, has launched the M3 Note. Some of you may recall Leigh’s impressions of the M1 Note, or my own take on the M2 Note. Well, the M3 Note is here and will be officially available from April 11th in China. No details are …

On March 30th EE announced something rather cool for their EE TV customers. A new update to EE TV boxes lets users transfer any Freeview content to a mobile device as soon as it airs. That sounded remarkably cool, and effectively means that you can carry recorded content …

This is just £12.99 on Amazon and, I have to say, I quite like this. It’s definitely my preference when compared to the gaming keyboard we looked at fairly recently. This is the aLLreLi KA150G Wireless Keyboard and it comes with 18 multimedia function keys too. Out of …

If you want to carry around a device which is no bigger than your standard USB pen drive but want to record audio, listen up. You need this thing. The Allreli USB voice recorder arrives in a slim unassuming box and has a snug top to cover the …

This is the Coolsmartphone.com review of the Amazon Fire (2015). I’ve been testing this for a while now, and after many months of heavy use, here is my review of Amazon’s inexpensive tablet computer. The device reviewed was purchased with my own pocket money, from Amazon, and has …

My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S5. It was the last “plastic Galaxy” before the arrival of shiny glass and metal in the S6 and S7. Emily can upgrade, but she won’t. She stubbornly refuses to go for a newer phone. The reason? “It bounces well, I’m forever …

On Thursday at Gadget Show Live, I got the pleasure of meeting the UK team behind ‘BagsByBlack’. The team has brought to our shores a new range of bags for both males and females to protect your tech. The range has been designed in South Africa for the …

I’ll be honest. I’ve never really understood what “works” on Twitter. These articles will pop up on @coolsmartphone and some get lots of traction, some don’t. Yesterday though I stumbled on something and now I’ve got some of my followers doing the same. It was raining and my …

This week I managed to briefly get my hands on a HTC Vive at the Gadget Show Live event at Birmingham, UK. Sadly ten minutes was not long enough but wow, what a ten minutes! The HTC stand was right in-front of the entrance and was the “go …

We’ve been invited to London next week to attend a Huawei launch. It’s expected to be the unveiling of the P9 that leaked last week. We’re expecting a big show and tiny food on sticks. Some say that tiny food on sticks is the best thing to give …

Smartwatches are starting to become a proper “thing” now and, with more and more people buying into the sector, there will be more and more demand for accessories. As an owner of a Pebble Time for nearing a year now, I have grown a bit bored of the “de …

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 …

Here’s a British actor with a stack of style and panache. He looks a lot like me too, which is good. Anyhow, I like a lot of his films, including the “Transporter” series. The first one was probably the best, but by “Transporter 3” we were in a …

You like a bit of data don’t you? Oh yes, you love it. You need it. But at the same time you worry. Sure, you love your hot juicy data, but you worry about the size of your package. Just when you’re watching a movie and getting to …
