Following our post this morning it seems that sadly the Xperia ZR won’t be arriving here in the UK. A post on the Clove blog states that…. There are no plans for the ZR to arrive in the UK, so if you think this is the device for …
The Galaxy S4 or the HTC One? Well, you’ll already have seen the Samsung Galaxy S4 review and our HTC One Review. So, with Mark busy comparing the camera quality and reviewing the S4, I’ve decided to take some shots comparing the phones close-up. You’ll see below that …
We like the Xperia Z here at CoolSmartphone towers, it looks gorgeous and performs just as well. Dan had one for a while and wrote about it here, we were all jealous. What if you had small hands and struggled with the screen size though? Well Sony has …
I’m going to see how long it takes for someone to add a comment stating, “You should’ve know, you plonker”, but give me a minute to explain this one. I’ve been using a Three SIM Zero card for quite some time. They don’t do this particular plan any …
A brand new unlocked Sony Xperia SP, delivered by a sexy blonde from UPS? How does that sound? Sexist? Un-necessary? Yes. It is.. Ohh… awkward. Hmm.. Perhaps I should engage politically correct mode… If you’d like to be in with a chance of winning a Sony Xperia SP, …
It’s fair to say that Samsung’s success with the Galaxy S3 has been nothing short of astonishing. The handset even gave the lauded iPhone 5 a run for it’s money in terms of pure numbers, and for good reason. Great performance, a slim plastic (sorry Samsung, polycarbonate) shell …
Last night in the UK during the The Inbetweeners Movie Nokia had a quick advert. An advert showing off a nice looking upcoming device, or a tiny part of it anyway. The below image was the focus of the advert. Nokia have also published the advert on their …

We’ve had a couple of emails from Samsung Galaxy S2 owners saying that they’ve just received the Android Jelly Bean update over the air. So far it’s SIM-free handsets, with Dave telling us.. Upgrade was to 4.1.2 baseband XXMS2 and build XWLSS. Anyone else get this? Good question …
I’m reaching the end of my mobile contract with Orange. I’ve been with the company since 1995 and they’ve always treated me pretty well. However, this last year I’ve seen my contract price increase and an increased push to get me onto 4G with EE which, strange as …
Finally I can post pictures of my dinner to Instagram from my Windows Phone. Without any restrictions or limits. Today is a happy day. It did cost me £1.29 though. Itsdagram uses a loophole in the api to allow you to post to Instagram, so how long it …
If you’ve got a Windows Phone then you’ll noticed that a lot of the “big apps” are now available to download. Microsoft are going to great lengths to show that major Android or iPhone apps are available, or versions of them, on Windows Phone. But, although it shouldn’t …
With Google I/O just around the corner, you’d think the company would want to keep a lid on its forthcoming offerings but Android Police has to grab a copy of Google Play Services 3.1.36 which seems to be trickling out to devices as we speak. You’ve got to …

I think I’d like to be an analyst, they get to just make stuff up and the whole world sits up and takes notice. An analyst from KGI Securities has released some information about the supposed New Nexus 7 and it kind of fits in with what’s expected …
Every now and then we here at Coolsmartphone try to do a group feature. Normally it is something where we can all contribute different things and that as a whole makes for something quite useful. As has already been said, most of us use one or two eco-systems …
Three, already famed for their rather speedy and unlimited data access, are to take the Ascend P2 from Huawei. Now, if you’re a regular visitor (and we hope you are), then you’ll remember that we got a hands-on demo from a rather lovely rep at Mobile World Congress …
