Have you got one of the current Nexus devices ? Now is the time to start hitting the “check for updates” button. On Thursday, Google started rolling out Android 4.4.4 to the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10. The factory images for the new …

I’ve been using QuickPic for what seems like years and years now. It’s one of those original apps that I installed on my phone back in the days when I had an HTC Desire Z and an Advent Vega tablet. What is it I hear you scream, well …

Welcome to the latest episode of the Coolsmartphone Podcast, joining me this week was Ian Furlong. Topics this week revolved around the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A, the Amazon Fire Phone, the further delays of the OnePlus One, Ian and his Palm Pre 2 he has been using this …

Withheld or unknown numbers. I know I’m plagued by calls from them and the unwritten rule (usually) is for me to ignore them. But what if you could actually identify those unknown numbers? Well, there’s a service called Whooming which will do just that. Perhaps the best way …

Clickbait? Us? Never. This one is a risky release, especially just a few hours before England play a vital World Cup match, but still, here’s Wayne Rooney with his football training app. It’s called a “soccer” training app because there’s apparently some confusion with some other sport involving …

What do we have here then? A wearable that doesn’t need to be charged everyday? Is that possible ? I have been really excited to get this gadget. This, for me, is where wearables become useful. The big thing that holds them back is the fact that you …

Among the excitement of the Amazon Fire Phone yesterday  BlackBerry CEO John Chen announced that the Amazon App Store will be pre-installed on BlackBerry OS 10.3 when it is released later this year. The native BlackBerry application store BlackBerry World has approximately 130,000 apps so adding another 200,000 …

I know I’ve mentioned it before, and yes, I’m guilty of repeating myself. However, it’s something I’d like to bang my drum about because, for the most part, people tend to switch off when the words “online safety” are mentioned. Still there? Good, because a recent survey of …

Remember those tiny USB connection cables from Nomad? They’re now adding to their range and have just launched this, the NomadClip It’s the size and shape of a carabiner. Yes, a carabiner. I had to look it up, but it’s basically one of those clip things you’ll use …

Mobile signal is, pretty obviously, critical for calls and texts. However, there are times when you just struggle to get signal in your location. Maybe there is really bad weather, maybe you live in an old house with thick walls, or maybe you just live too far away …

We knew it was coming, but the announcement has still been a bit of a surprise for many. Details are still emerging currently, but we do know that there’s be “unlimited” storage via the Amazon Cloud Drive system and it comes with a 4.7″ screen and 13 megapixel …

We’ve become accustomed to stores giving out free gifts with the latest phones, but giving out trainers? That’s a new thing on us. If you buy the HTC One (M8) or HTC One mini 2 they’ll chuck in a pair of mi Adidas trainers which, from what we can make …

Yes, you really are seeing this. That “joke picture” circling around the internet featuring a guy holding his phone on the end of a stick is an actual product. It’s called the Me-Shot Deluxe and, to be fair, is a bit more than just a big stick. A …

Samsung are known for pumping out device after device from their design factory, and one that was rather unique but caught a lot of attention was the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. The handset packed an S4 mini and a Samsung camera into a single device and we reviewed …

The £50 smartphone we mentioned earlier was, if you recall, the Smart 4 mini. It’s actually now a little cheaper at £45 and you can get it from Vodafone. The WVGA screen (480×800), dual-core 1.3GHz CPU, 4 GB storage and 3 megapixel rear camera might not set your …

If there’s one thing I’m never really much good at, it’s watering the plants. During my recent bike ride to Paris pretty much everyone at home forgot and my hanging baskets sadly fired dried up and became hanging soil carriers. It’s either a sad statement on modern life …

When I say “sort of” I mean that they have announced another variant of the Galaxy S5 and it comes with vastly upgraded specs, meaning this is more than likely the fabled “Prime” version of the Galaxy S5 that people have been banging on about for a while …

This man knows how to make Kickstarter videos. He walks towards the camera like Hugh Laurie in House. Nice style. He basically wants you to invest in an aerial sports drone. If you’ve got enough cash and a penchant for outdoor sporting activity, this could be your thing. …
