A brand new waterproof phone without a 3.5mm headset? No, it’s not that one. This is a new handset from HTC, although I should call it new-ish because it has already been on sale in the USA as the HTC Bolt exclusively on Sprint. The phone arrives with …
HTC were responsible for kick-starting this site way, way back in 2002. They were just a manufacturer then, with Orange or other networks sticking their branding on. Back then nobody knew who they were. Then they fought. They pushed on and built a brand. Soon everyone had a …
Let’s face it, Microsoft have realigned their mobile efforts away from hardware. Not only that, but the traditional smartphone operating system doesn’t seem to be high on the priority list for the company. Their own Lumia handsets are being killed off and there’s not exactly a queue of …
I’ve started to develop a bit of a habit now – leaving the house without my wallet. At work the canteen and the vending machines all use contactless payments. When I get fuel – call it Apple Pay, call it Android Pay – the petrol station, the supermarket, …
Well, we knew that the Desire 10 was coming and, just seconds ago, it was announced on the HTC website. The Desire 10 is a metallic, stylish handset with a full glass frontage and 5.5″ HD screen. The one you’ll be getting in the UK has a 13 …
What are you doing on Tuesday morning? Well, we’re going to be at a swanky launch party in the West End of London. We’ll be eating canapés, drinking free champagne, meeting the….. ..wait. Ah no. It’s another one of those “web” launches from HTC. Gah.. what happen to …
In May Microsoft announced that nearly 2,000 staff would be given the chop after their mobile OS business started to shrink. Now it seems that thousands more will be looking for work after Microsoft added a further 2,850 workers to the previously announced 1,850. The cuts, as before, …
Is it time for a new smartphone? Is it time to treat yourself to the HTC 10 but you don’t like the sound of the £569.99 price-tag? Well, come closer to the screen dear friend, because – until August 18th – you can get a massive £100 off. …
I write this shortly after reviewing the Huawei P9 and, I have to say, the first thing I noticed is how much heavier the HTC 10 is. The P9 is 144g and the HTC 10 is 161g. It might not sound much, but boy – I noticed it …
It’s a sad day for hard-working smartphone employees, especially in Finland. Microsoft has just announced that 1,850 jobs will go as they “restructure” their smartphone hardware business. 1,350 of the staff affected will be from the Microsoft Mobile division in Oy, Finland. The remaining 500 will be from …
Fancy grabbing the new Huawei MediaPad M2 10″ tablet we reviewed just this morning? It’s now on sale from Currys PC World. The tablet, which we reviewed here, has Harman Kardon speaker technology (which sound, let me tell you, very good indeed), excellent battery life and a slim, …
I’m going to take a slightly different approach to this review and note down everything as I unbox the device. First, the specs. This is the Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 and it’s available in either “Luxurious Gold” or in this fine shade – “Moonlight Silver”. It weighs in …
Say what you like about my Windows Phone tirade, it’s all sadly true. Call it what you want – Windows 10 mobile, Windows Phone, I’m angry at how easily Microsoft let their lead slip. I’m annoyed at how slowly they realised. I’m frustrated at how they treated the …
As you’ll have probably already heard today, Tesco Mobile have received some pretty high customer satisfaction figures. Not only that, but the network (which uses O2), is to offer up the HTC 10 with absolutely no upfront cost. All the plans below allow “Anytime Upgrade” as standard and …
Back in the day we’d be able to at least bring you some details about what a new HTC handset feels, looks and operates like. Sadly, as the HTC 10 didn’t have a launch event and loan handsets are very thin on the ground, we really can’t say …
How’s about an Android tablet for £179.99 with 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, a 64-bit quad-core MediaTek CPU, a microSD card slot and Android 6.0 Marshmallow? Sound good? Acer are promising an 8 hour battery life with this, and it comes with “Quadio” front-facing speakers, a “Precision Plus” touchscreen …
Usually when a brand new handset is launched we’ll be reporting live right now. We’d be battling to get hold of the actual, real phone so that we can give you some instant feedback on what it’s actually like in the flesh. Unfortunately, the HTC 10 launch isn’t …
In stark contrast to the huge Huawei P9 launch last week, the HTC web-only announcement was quite understated. No queues, no hands-on time, no photographs and no tiny burgers on sticks. It was all very… different. The handset, when it did appear on the HTC website, didn’t offer …
To be fair, there’s almost nothing that we don’t know of the upcoming HTC 10 announcement. There’s been leaks-a-plenty, with photos and specs already doing the rounds. Today there’s an entire video, which you can see below.. https://youtu.be/QjvaZ8SpRcM She’s looking a bit like the HTC One A9 that …
The response to this post will be predictable, but I’ve delayed this long enough and it’s time to put my feelings into words. This site was created off the back of my first Microsoft Smartphone some 14 years ago. That phone was the Orange SPV and it was …
OK. Situation report. HTC are going to show us their next high-end device in a couple of weeks. Initially we expected this to be called the HTC One M10, but it may now be called the “HTC 10”. We’ve had leaked photographs, a confirmed launch date (April 12th) …
What are you up to on April 12th? It’s just under three weeks away on a Tuesday and HTC have this set as their launch event for the HTC One M10, which could just be called the HTC 10. Unlike the rather massive Samsung event, it looks like …
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 …
There has been a lot of chatter about this years flagship from HTC, with early leaks showing a design reminiscent of the HTC One A9 we reviewed. Now today, serial “leaker” (is that a word?) OnLeaks has tweeted some photos of the new device. The device is reportedly named the HTC …
When Windows Phone 10 will be released later this year we have been promised a slurry of new phones, designed to cater to every different type of audience. One of Microsoft’s recent announcements was that it would focus on a number of areas, one of which was the …
Acer have sent us to Edinburgh and have loaned us a number of devices – the Acer Liquid Leap (a fitness band), the Acer Liquid Jade (a shockingly slender smartphone), the Iconia Tab 8 and the device I’m using to type this out – the Aspire Switch 10. …
We reviewed the Yoga Tablet 8 just days ago and now here in Barcelona Lenovo have just lauched this, the Yoga Tablet 10+. Available in April it’s got a rather swish design and there’s 18 hours of battery life. That 10.1″ screen is full HD – 1920×1200, and …
Recently… well on 3/3/13, the UK network Three celebrated their 10th birthday as the all 3G network opened it’s doors for business on 3/3/03 in a select few locations with some rather large NEC phones and a plan to sell content such as ringtones and video clips. Here …
Read our Galaxy Nexus 10 review? What about our Nexus 4 review? Got either of these? Want some good news? Reports are coming in from Reddit and Android Police stating that Android version 4.2.2 is rolling out to Nexus Devices. There is no current changelog but users are …
Introduction OK so this device has been out for a while.. but with limited availability we’ve struggled to get hold of a review unit.. well now we have one! You all know about the ridiculously high resolution screen, but how does the rest of the device perform? What’s the overall experience like, …
So now christmas is over and things starting to get back to normal it looks like Google have more stock of the Nexus 10 16GB version available as the store has changed from the normal SOLD OUT message to ‘SHIPS SOON’ with a message stating it will ship …
The 10″ Android tablet market just got dumped on its head recently. As with the other current Nexus devices Google are offering them direct to customers rather cheaply. This move makes selling a tablet difficult as the other OEMs have to cut corners to keep the prices low. …
We’ve all heard the horror stories. BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is on the ropes – with low profit, a distinct lack of apps in their App World and ridiculous developer videos being published. That’s not even mentioning their current line-up of phones, which I think (along with …
I’ve seen a number of sites stating that Samsung have just “announced” the Galaxy Note 10.1. Actually, they announced the thing back in February and we’ve already had the full hands-on treatment, so we don’t really need to show you the press shots. There’s already a video demo …
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was originally announced back at MWC and seems to have been stuck in perpetuity ever since. Well, Samsung has now posted a video on one of their official YouTube channels which demos the features of the Note 10.1. Sadly the video is computer …
A new tablet was announced by Huawei today. This 10″ beast has got a quad-core 1.5Ghz processor and runs Android 4.0. We’ll have a run down there in a second and get some pictures of it for you. The CPU is, according to Huawei, the smallest quad-core unit …
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 only got announced literally minutes ago, so we thought it best to go and get a hands-on with the device. The lovely Samsung lady gave us a great demo of the device, which has a WXGA (1280×800) PLS TFT screen, dual-core 1.4GHz CPU, …
Ok, the title isn’t exactly right, but there isn’t room to put the detail! According to BGR Apple have won a preliminary injunction in Germany that could effectively block the sales of the Galaxy Tab in all Euro union countries except Holland where there is a similar case ongoing. Samsung could …
