You’ll have to forgive me in advance here. I was going to publish this on my personal blog but, midway through, I started mentioning smartphones and figured it would be worthy of a post here. The whole PPI claiming culture is, if we’re honest, highly annoying. I remember …
We covered the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade fairly recently. A raft of Windows Phone 8.1 handsets are getting the update and it was good to see an update happening so quickly. Sure, handsets with 512MB RAM weren’t fit enough because Microsoft tests showed that it didn’t give the …
Yesterday we let you know about some of the pre-order deals available on the LG G5. Now it’s available to pre-order from Vodafone too. They’ll be doing the same deal on the Bang & Olufsen H3 in-ear headphones as Clove. If you put your name down now you’ll …
James, while you are in the field you must keep your smartphone charged otherwise we will never catch the bad guys. Queue music! Well not quite, Beuler sent me this nifty little pen to test recently. It’s a pen, stylus and charger! Yes charger! Just when you need …
We got sent this “Nature Series” case by Slicoo. It’s just £9.99 from Amazon at the moment and we did let them know that we hadn’t actually got a Samsung Galaxy S7 to test it with, but they said not to worry. The full name for this is …
We really liked SmartCall from Virgin Media. It basically let you hop onto any WiFi hotspot and you could use your mobile as if you were on your landline at home. This was especially good if you were abroad, and you could pick up your mobile in a …
Word on the street is that Windows 10 Mobile is arriving on handsets right now, with select Windows 8.1 devices getting the update. Mike Phillips has mailed in to tell us that he’s got it on his Lumia 1520 already. The supported devices for the upgrade are as …
Firefly Studios, the company behind the computer game series, “Stronghold” and “Space Colony” are launching their first “Stronghold” game on mobile this summer. The first trailer for their upcoming iOS and Android castle MMO, Stronghold Kingdoms was released this week. Upon release in summer 2016 phone and tablet …
The Nest Thermostat we reviewed continues to get even more clever. Recently they added multi-account and phone location support, and now you can control and view your home heating on your Android Wear watch. You can get more info on the thermostat here. It’s £199 and you might …
Sony have just announced pricing for their upcoming PlayStation VR headset and… it’s cheap. Even with the UK sales tax they’ve told us that it’ll retail here for £350. This makes is £150 cheaper than the £500 Oculus Rift and £339 cheaper than the £689 HTC Vive. Whilst …
The trouble with virtual reality headsets is that you can’t always appreciate just how good they are unless you try them. HTC will be trying to fix this by bringing the Vive experience to stores from today. You can’t quite buy the £689 VR solution just yet, but …
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 …
Stop right there. Before you go any further, head to our LG G5 hands-on for the low-down on this new handset. It’s got a range of additional gadgets, an always-on screen and that trick rear camera assembly that’ll combine normal and wide-angle photos. First, the bad news, and …
Last year my son ended up in hospital with meningococcal septicaemia. It was a scary time, and I’ll admit that I completely lost my rag with the local GP surgery. Our town had seen the closure of a local surgery, and we’d been shipped across to another surgery …
The purpose of dash cams is varied. Some would say that they’re an essential tool for reporting exactly what happened in those moments before a crash. Others would tell you that they’re a great tool for showing terrible driving on YouTube. Personally, from what I’ve seen on YouTube, …
Windows Phone and Windows phone users will, if we’re brutally honest, have got used to developers skipping their platform. Those cool but perhaps not “massively used” applications are nearly always available for Android and iPhone, but when it comes to the Microsoft mobile platform, you simply have to …
You may remember just how giddy I was when I first found the MSQRD or “Masquerade” app on the iPhone. Although we’ve seen similar tricks on Sony handsets, this is an app that has gained quite a bit of traction and popularity. Now, for those Android users who …
Last year I managed to bag the latest flagship from OnePlus pretty quickly. However, surprisingly I quickly found that there was no gallery app installed to view my creations. After years of Android ownership this was the first time I’d come across this situation (or lack of). Now …
BlackBerry are a brand that have been around for countless years and have a huge reputation when it comes to security on mobile devices. So much so they are still, to some, considered the industry leader – even in 2016. With the introduction of the iPhone and countless …
Sure, our Moto X Force review was pretty comprehensive, but the one thing we didn’t do was… drop it 900 feet from a drone. Yes, the phone does have a shatterproof screen, but surely it wouldn’t be able to survive that, would it? Plus, even if it did, …
