What can you say about the iPhone 5? It’s an astounding piece of hardware that creates such emotion amongst its fan and its haters. Such a device attracts a premium price though and deals are few and far between. This week though Expansys are offering the white 16GB …

Yes, I know. Whenever the headline reads “less than £200” you know it’s going to be 1p less. But hey, it’s a good price for a great handset. The P1 has a definite “Galaxy SII” feel about it but we were suitably impressed in out Ascend P1 review. …

Say that something is “foobared” (or rather, “Fubared”) and, well, it’s broken. However, if you take the foobar definition then it’s more likely to be used as a variable in a script. Now, deep in there somewhere was a fantastic introduction to this story but, sadly, I’ve lost …

  The Huawei Y 100 is a pretty cheap smartphone. It’s only £79.99 and is a diddy little thing which could be the ideal first smartphone for youngsters, pensioners and those that have been scared off smartphones by the price. Specs then, and we start off well with …

We reviewed the Tivizen digital TV receiver from Humax a short while ago and, although the Android app was a tad basic, it was a great way of watching live TV on your smartphone without the associated data costs. Now, with the sun gently tanning us for at …

This morning a jiffy bag turned up and a small phone was inside. To a “power user” the diminutive Huawei Ascend Y 100 has a relatively small 2.8″ LCD screen and isn’t anywhere near as large as phones like the Galaxy SIII or HTC One Series. The “geek” …

The entry-level Galaxy Y may not be for everyone, but for the money this will get many onto the smartphone ladder and looks pretty swish too. Powered by an 832MHz CPU it’s got a 2 megapixel camera, 3.0” QVGA screen and it sounds like Three are chucking in …
