The OnePlus 7 Pro – That pop-up camera in action

Fantastic specs, great screen, super-fast charging, epic rear camera setup, gorgeous design… Wait, it’s got a pop-up camera? That, in my head, is what most people are thinking when they saw the new OnePlus 7 Pro today. We’re going to give you a look at it in action …

Samsung Galaxy S10 Range – Hands on

Right, if you’re at the end of a contract or thinking about buying an additional phone, the Galaxy S10 range could well be on your radar. We’ve covered all the Galaxy phones during Mobile World Congress, but I think it’s worth looking again at the hands-on overview we …

A week with the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro – Day 2. The camera.

This morning I woke up. It was a bright, sunny day and the birds were gently tweeting their morning chorus. It made me feel lucky to be alive. I couldn’t wake to spring out of bed and greet the day with big, open arms. Ah well, no. Not …

Huawei Mate 20 Pro – The unboxing

As this is Coolsmartphone, we haven’t rolled out our Huawei Mate 20 Pro review just yet because we like to review things in-depth. As is usual, we’ve put our main SIM into the device and we’re using it as our main phone, just as you guys would. However, …

NOW AVAILABLE. Fortnite for Android. We go in! (VIDEO)

I know. I didn’t believe it either. Head straight to the video if you want the quick hit. So, this evening, as I was busy typing up details of the Galaxy Note9 launch, my son happened to say… Hey, Dad, you do know that Fortnite is available on …

UPS Test Drone Deliveries

Things didn’t go all that well for the initial press event but it looks like courier firms are also looking to drones to help with parcel deliveries. This YouTube video shows how UPS are envisaging the process, with the drone able to assist the delivery driver on normal …

Aces of Luftwaffe review

I don’t normally review games for smart phones as I don’t normally play them but this one caught my attention in a big way so I figured what the hell.   The premise of the game is very simple it is a top down rolling shooter that as …

Sony Xperia Z goes for a swim

We’re getting a number of retailers approaching us at the minute. They’d all like us to promote the fact that the Sony Xperia Z is available from them. Tesco have sent us a lovely video featuring staff member Peter Statham. He’s 72. Yes, 72. Peter works in Tesco …

MWC – Ubuntu for phones, a demo

You may have used Ubuntu on the desktop, you may have considered flashing it to your device. Now it’s in an all-new phone from ZTE too. This is another mobile OS jumping on the HTML5 bandwagon and could prove to be a serious competitor for the existing smartphone …

MWC – Firefox OS, a full demo

The Android OS is represented this year by just a few guys in Android outfits. They’re running around and generally hugging random strangers. I always find that a little weird, because without the suits you’d be batting them away with a spade. The OS itself is, of course, …

MWC – HTC in Barcelona. A full workout with the One

Last week we were in London for the launch of this, the HTC One. The launch event was pretty crowded and, although we got a video demo and some pictures, I asked the guys at the HTC stand to give us a full run-through of every new feature …

Samsung posts official hands on video for the Galaxy Note 10.1

Unlike the cartoon hands on version from the other day. Here a nice chap from Samsung runs through the various new features in the Galaxy Note 10.1. I am a little on the fence with this at the moment. I think it’s a little over priced. Especially with …

Linaro drops a turbo into Android

Long hair. Check. Beard. Check. This guy must be a geek that knows his stuff. I could blind you with science here but the upshot of this video is that the Linaro tweaks will make your Android go faster. Faster is good, m’kay? The people behind CyanogenMod have …

Samsung Pop-up shops coming to London

During the launch of the Samsung Galaxy SIII we saw the new “Samsung Mobile PIN” stores. Samsung call these “PINS” because they’re like moving pinpoints on a map, but we’re going to call them pop-up shops because .. we can. Inside these cleverly designed stores you’ll find friendly …

Samsung Galaxy SIII – Hands-on demo

It was extremely busy at the launch last night, so we hung around until the free drinks ran out and got a quieter and more relaxed demo of the new Galaxy SIII. In the video below you’ll hopefully get some idea of what the handset can do. Here …

MWC – Orange Santa-Clara – Up close

The Santa Clara is, it turns out, just a codename at the moment. So perhaps, just perhaps, it might appear as the Orange London we thought it would? Powered by a rather rapid Intel Atom Z2460 1.6GHz CPU, this has 16GB of memory, HD voice, NFC, 1080p HDMI …

MWC – Hands on with the Galaxy Note 10.1

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, …
