Looking to get an LG G2 without getting shot in the process? Independent retailer Clove Technology is first with a pre-order listing, showing the G2 priced at a surprisingly reasonable £468 including VAT (£390 exc. VAT), not cheap but a flagship device, it’s around £100 less than the …
In what will be a very confusing name for many people to remember, Three today announced the LG Optimus L1 II. It’ll be exclusive to their network in white and features a bright 3″ screen. This low value affordable phone is a great way to get introduced to …
In a less than ideal start to LG’s marketing efforts for its new G2 smartphone, twenty people were injured at a recent promotional event in South Korea. According to the Korea Times, the event in Seoul saw balloons filled with coupons redeemable for a free LG G2 released …
We’re all working twice as hard for half the money so, during the last month or two, I’ve been looking at SIM-only deals and cheap-but-powerful SIM free phones. This week it’s the turn of the LG Optimus L9, down to £204.99 this week from those boys at Expansys. …
Despite never receiving and official British launch, online tech retailer Expansys has a stock of white Nexus 4 for sale. Expansys states in their listing that this is an EU product supplied with a UK AC adaptor, and now it’s no longer available from Google Play in the …
So yesterday we saw the LG G2. Many, I’m sure, will be wanting the LG logo to vanish and a Google Nexus one to appear instead. You do have to wonder how successful this would be if it was branded as a Nexus.. It’s coming to Three and …
Welcome aboard. Take your seats for the live feed. Popcorn and drinks are available from your friendly Coolsmartphone staff. The live coverage is below, but if you want more we’ve managed to grab a big truck-load of videos to show off the new LG G2, so if you …
Over in New York, LG have announced the brand new LG G2 (no Optimius name anymore) and Three have come out and confirmed they will be stocking this device here in the UK. And of course as always….. Brendan from Three has put together a ‘sneak peak’ video …
LG are due to unveil their latest device, the G2 is what some expect their next Nexus device to mirror quite closely. The LG G2 is going to be a high end flagship and I’m hoping it makes it to the UK, unlike last years Optimus G and …
The LG Optimus L3 was part of the surprisingly successful L-Series of budget Android phones. So successful that there is a second series now available. I’ve had the entry level Optimus L3 II for a couple of weeks to see what all the fuss is about. Tech Specs …
We mentioned back in March that the LG Optimus G was due to arrive in the UK but now the successor has been announced by LG, and we can say goodbye to the “Optimus” name. Their Korean office has just put this press release live along with the …
While the Optimus G Pro (we mentioned here) has been available since February in LG’s home country of Korea, it has made a slow but steady march out to other countries around the world and is ready to reach a whole lot more in Q3. LG is announcing …
The LG L3 II is part of the second generation of the quirky L-Series smartphones. The range is characterised by its almost square screen. It’s certainly an individual look, and because/despite of this they have sold millions worldwide. LG have been kind enough to loan us one, and …
The LG Optimus L5 II is an interesting little phone, plasticy, lightweight and covered in fingerprints yet still it is an appealing little phone. Introduced as the middle device in the 2nd generation of budget “Optimus L” phones, there is also an L3 and a L7 which are …
It was only a few days ago that we saw what will be the second high end waterproof phone the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and now it seems that LG want a slice of the waterproof pie as well. LG has announced a waterproof smartphone, called the Optimus …
When I started reporting on the White Nexus 4 I was only really interested in a nice piece of cake. Now I feel it’s my duty to keep everyone abreast of the subject, and with that I bring you today’s edition of White Nexus 4 News. Firstly I …
Remember that lovely piece of cake I reported on back in January? You know, the one with the white Nexus 4 next to it. Well, there’s been another sighting of a white Nexus 4. Unfortunately there’s no sign of the cake though. This time the lesser spotted Nexus …
The guys from EVLeaks have just posted this over on their Facebook page. There’s not a great deal of information on what it is, and the presence of a large blue rectangle on the screen is raising more questions than answers. The handset could be a new Optimus …
The LG Optimus F5 has a 1.2 GHz Dual-Core CPU and 4.3″ IPS (256ppi) screen. When we saw it at Mobile World Congress it was running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and packs 8GB of storage, 1GB RAM and microSD expansion card. There’s dual cameras – a 5 megapixel …
Got £200? Good stuff, because you can always donate to keep us on the air 🙂 If you don’t fancy dishing out money to a worthy cause you can perhaps have a look at the Acer Cloud Mobile for £199.99. It’s got rave reviews and has a gorgeous …
We’ve heard rumours that the new Samsung Galaxy S4 will have eye-tracking technology. Last year, when the Galaxy S3 launched, we saw the “Smart Stay” technology. This held the backlight on provided your eyes were looking at the screen. The S4 is said to build on that, perhaps …
If you were part of the LG Mobile device team I’d imagine you’d be panicking today. The whole world awaits the next Galaxy device from Samsung and you and you’re team would be wondering what to do. Then they remember they have access to the billboards above the …
LG announced the L Series as well as the F Series here at MWC and we managed to get a tour of the L Series devices this morning. Instead of having us talk through the details we thought it best to leave it to the professionals so managed …
Here at MWC we see lots of different designs from the various different manufactures, but touch screen input is all over the place. One device which has a slight twist on this is the LG Optimus Vu II which instead of the traditional widescreen format has opted for …
In some rather surprising news, yesterday we heard that LG are purchasing the WebOS platform from HP to use in their smart TV setup in the future. There are no plans to make mobile devices with this OS but it will be interesting to see what they can offer when …
LG seem to have a lot to tell the world about recently. For some the barrage of model numbers and range names may be a little confusing. Leading up to the unveiling of their new devices LG have published details of what each range is about. The four …
Ahead of our RyanAir flight, I am packing my very small and lightweight bag ready for Mobile World Congress. This year, if I’m honest, we’ve seen more and more companies launching their phones outside of the event. This gives us chance to cover even more gadgets and companies …
LG have gone a bit mad leading up to MWC, announcing what seems like every device they have up their sleeves ahead of the big event. Maybe it’s to remind people that their still hanging about waiting patiently in the aisles. Maybe it’s because a competitor announced what …
MWC is only a week away however it would seem that the mobile manufacturers cannot help themselves and are tripping up in their excitement. Not only are HTC expected to launch the HTC One tomorrow but LG are getting in on the act with the announcement of the …
Last week LG announced that they would be updating their Optimus L Series of budget Android smartphones, citing their worldwide popularity as the reason for the investment. I have to admit that I was surprised in December when LG announced sales of 10 million L Series handsets. After …
A few days ago details about the upcoming budget L Series Optimus range from LG appeared online which we covered here. The Optimus L3 II, L5 II and L7 II all looked to be solid budget devices for those looking for a cheaper phone. LG have now officially …
MWC is coming, we’re going to be there and so are lots and lots of manufacturers. Including LG by the looks of it, no doubt spurred on by the success? Of the LG Nexus 4 and the LG Optimus G. They have posted a video on their YouTube …
You know the deal by now. These things are a pain to get hold of, so when they appear on the Google Play store you go and get one. The 8GB is sitting in my basket right now. Unlocked, it’s a snip at £239. We mentioned earlier that …
Want a Nexus 4 but don’t want the common old black version that everyone else has? Well, you may be in luck as it looks like there could be a white one on the way! Vietnamese tech site Tinh te has a series of photos which show a …
Can’t get yourself a Nexus 4? Are you one of the unfortunates who tried to place an order on the Google site, only to be knocked back at the last minute? Well worry no more. Get your nose out of the keyboard, dry those tears, because Virgin Mobile …
I’ve been curious about the Nexus 4 for quite some time. So much so that I bought one but my main curiosity has been the process for getting it into consumers hands. Its been fraught with problems and their seems to be some significant shortages and waiting …
The LG Optimus VU is an unusual beast. With a 5″ display and a 4:3 ratio the VU crosses the line between tablet and phone. Powered by a quad core 1.5Ghz processor paired with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the handset has 8mp rear camera and 1.3mp front …
As we all know by now, the Nexus 4 launch has not been the best it could have been. Getting one from Google has been difficult at best whilst other retailers availability has been better their prices are also higher. Dan Cobley, Managing Director of Google UK …
Since the Nexus 4 became available and then promptly sold out on the Play store a few weeks ago, thousands of customers have been waiting for their orders to be delivered and even more have been waiting just for the opportunity to place an order. Anyone who listened …
While I do love my Nexus 4, I did spend a fair amount of time in my review, and on the podcast, discussing its design flaws. Although the glass back might look and feel great, it certainly doesn’t help with durability or handling. It’s an accident waiting to happen, both …
