As we get closer and closer to the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, more and more leaks and rumours are flying around the interwebs. One thing we do know is that this new Samsung flagship isn’t going to be cheap. Trusted leaker Max Weinbach (of XDA Developers) has already …
Barely a couple of months into the launch of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S9, the world has already turned its eyes towards the next in line – Samsung Galaxy S10. Marking the 10th anniversary of the company’s flagship series, the Galaxy S10 is touted to be one of the …
A few days ago we had some mysterious postcards sent to us from Huawei. There was a definite emphasis on camera tech and, although we’re not expecting the handset in question to be announced at Mobile World Congress. This, we think, is all about the upcoming Huawei P20. …
OnePlus have already brought us some exciting new smartphones, and they do this without charging a huge premium. Their previous offerings were popular, and more so with the recent OnePlus 5 which featured a dual camera system, great battery and huge amounts of RAM. However… It seems like …
We don’t do rumours on Coolsmartphone.com that much. At least I don’t. Often the rumour doesn’t turn out to be true, and then our readers are a bit disappointed. I don’t like being disappointed and I’m sure Coolsmartphone readers don’t either. Today I’m making an exception, because I …
Many of my friends are still holding on to their rather dented and slightly battered iPhone handsets. They’ve dodged the iPhone 7, some have even skipped the iPhone 6s, in anticipation of the “big one” – the iPhone 8. Rumours are always to be taken with a large …
Over at telefoonabonnement.nl (Google Translate) there’s some interesting news about some newly uncovered benchmark scores. These have popped up on Geekbench and, by the looks of the results, this is going to be one very quick handset. The report shows that it’s faster than a Galaxy S8. The …
The HTC stand of 2016, if I’m brutally honest, has a lot of similarities with the HTC stand of 2015. The HTC Vive is on show and there’s a lot of handsets that were released some months ago. There’s a lot of HTC One A9 devices here, and …
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the next premium LG handset will be the LG G5. It’s going to appear at Mobile World Congress, and there’s usually a couple of ways the mobile companies drum up interest ahead of a launch like this. You’ll …
It’s been apparent for a while that you don’t really have a product to release if there aren’t leaks of it before you’re ready to announce. This time it was LG’s turn with the up and coming LG G5, due to be announced on Feb 21 (the same …
It’s safe to say that we were pretty impressed with the HTC One A9. Our review highlighted the great battery life and excellent build quality. Sure, it’s a shame that here in Europe we’re going to have to pay more for it and we’ll be getting the 16GB …
If It wasn’t such a possibility from the Chocolate Factory, I’d dismiss it as yet another rumour, but it makes a weird type of sense. Whilst we have absolutely no confirmation yet that there is any truth to this, some photos have come online from China that purport …
IFA is nearly upon us, and rumours on what to expect from the event are starting to reach us. The latest news (from a reliable source) involves several devices which Sony are expected to announce at the event. These are the Z5, Z5 Compact and the Z5 Ultra. …
The rumour mill in the build up to IFA has officially started. In the Sony camp we have already seen the earlier gossip, but now we’re hearing from Huawei too. They have a busy schedule lined up over the next few months. First they’ll be working with Alphabet …
Apple Pay. The unapologetically Apple payment system which aims to replace plastic (see what I did there?). 9to5Mac reports that Apple Pay will launch in the UK on July 14th 2015, and its sources are very, very specific. Another retailer shows the same date, with training kicking off …
The dual-sided YotaPhone series made a big splash at MWC, but it wasn’t picked up by the major networks over in Blighty. However, we quite liked it all in all, so when news of the YotaPhone 3 leaked, colour us excited. The e-ink screen is a great idea …
Online serial “leaker”, @Onleaks, has provided the interwebs with what is to be believed to be the next flagship device from Sony – the Xperia Z4. Measuring in at 146.3×71.9×7.2mm, the Z4’s measurements are very similar to the current Z3, as is the actual look of the device. There’s …
Ever been stuck in an area with little to no signal at all but needed to make that all important phone call? Lets face it, we have all had this one time or another, and with WiFI being more widely available with even faster speeds than before wouldn’t …
Let’s get the what right out of the way: There’s been a tip from a trusted source that CPW will have the new Nexus device on sale on 1 November. Interesting, right? That gives all us all sorts of possible timelines to work with. But what does that …
Trademarks are great, not only do they provide protection for individuals and companies against copies, they also provide news stories when companies disagree on them *cough* Apple and Samsung *cough* but also trademark filings can often provide hints as to what companies have planned as they register names …
Sony have started teasing a new phone announcement for tomorrow with the theme being selfies. Coincidentally leaked images of a new Sony Xperia model, have also hit the internet with the new phone having a forward facing LED flash. This would be the first phone from a big manufacturer to …
Anyone who keeps their ear close to the ground in the tech world may have heard the speculation with regards the new Amazon Phone which is due to be launched on June 18th. Amazon have released a video which is real teaser; you see a group of individuals …
It’s nicer when we can talk about things other than dodgy power buttons… April may be a little early for the annual frenzy of speculation surrounding a new iPhone release to kick off, but there’s been a lot of speculation over the last few months over what the …
Windows Phone handsets. Remember them? I’m sure that, before the Galaxy S5 launch, the Sony Xperia Z2 announcement, the whole Lenovo deal, the HTC One (M8) event and those Nokia X devices there was some mention of this OS. HTC still remember it and, if WPDang is to …
As we get closer to the rumoured iPad refresh (everything’s a rumour, even the launch!), we have another tip on what we might see. The details sound plausible and the tip comes from Sonny Dickson; who had some of the most accurate new iPhones pictures before launch. So …
HTC have never really succeeded when it comes to tablets. The mildly successful HTC Flyer was getting long in the tooth when it got it’s update from Gingerbread to Honeycomb (Android 3.0), and there hasn’t been a lot to speak of since. This morning we spotted what appeared …
When I first saw this headline I had an image of the back of the new iPhone changing shape and trying to kill people like the T1000 in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Apple have actually held the patent for LiquidMetal for ages but only used it for the …
It’s always about the next one: the desire for more information about the next iPhone is always going to be there. We’d be remiss if we didn’t fill you in on what’s been popping up around the intertubes recently. First up – Announcement date: AllThingsD has its ear …
The Huawei Ascend W2 has been a long time coming, but there’s now pictorial evidence to say that it’s imminent. Serial leaker @evleaks has posted a press render of the phone, which looks rather funky. It’s got the obligatory brightly coloured back, and standard Windows Phone layout, but …
A mid-range HTC handset called the “Tiara” is said to be heading this way pretty soon. It’s a mid-range device and will run the upgraded version of Windows Phone 8. Rumoured specs include a 1.2Ghz Snapdragon CPU, 1GB RAM and a 4.3″ 800×480 pixel screen. An 8 megapixel …
It is now less than a week away. The hype around the HTC event to be held on Tuesday is growing daily and now even HTC have got in on the act. They appear to be pulling out all the stops for the HTC One (whose name was …
The date of HTC’s press conference is edging ever nearer and as is normal with these large events the leaks are coming thick and fast. Today’s leak once again comes thanks to the usually accurate Twitter account @EVLeaks and is a render that shows the device actually powered …
If you follow what Microsoft is up to, you might have heard that they are potentially testing their own smartphone hardware. No one knows for sure if the rumours are true and we doubt very much the device would make an appearance anytime soon with some Windows Phone …
There have been rumours about all sorts of phones and tablets recently, but very few of them have any more than “unnamed sources” to go on. It’s only when we see physical evidence that things start to get juicy. That’s where this interesting result from GLBenchmarks of a …
The Apple rumour mill has been given more information to add to the rapidly increasing and still growing pile – this time possible prices and model versions have been spotted on a German bloggers site known as Flo’s Weblog. He’s posted a screenshot showing you could possibly get a total …
Samsung are definitely in the spotlight at the moment. The SIII is selling well and their original Samsung Galaxy Note has shifted 10 million units. That’s despite the current model having a ma-hoo-sive 5.3″ screen. Oh yes, and there’s “that” court case which, if nothing else, is certainly …
Take the Xperia S we reviewed and splash some new colours on. Now ramp up the dual-core 1.5GHz CPU to a 1.7GHz and you get this, the Sony Xperia SL. It’s rumoured to be running Android Ice Cream Sandwich and these leaked shots, plus more at eprice.com.tw show …
Rumours are annoying at times. Before the Samsung Galaxy SIII launch, details and “blurrycam” photos were hitting websites all over the web and they were mostly wrong. Now it is the turn of Apple and the iPhone 5, and a recent set of rumoured images and video are …
Rumours have been on going for a few weeks now about Apples next handset. The device dubbed the “iPhone 5” is possibly going to be release sometime in the next few months. Will you be buying one? Going off the rumours Apple has started the machines rolling to …
The Flyer was their first, but didn’t catch on perhaps as well as we all thought it would. Now, a second HTC tablet will be known as the HTC Vertex. Rumours suggest Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and a 1.3GHz nVidia Tegra 3 CPU. A 1280×752 pixel screen …
