As you know, Brian Shufflebottom, Chief Apple Engineer, sat down in his small house in Bolton a couple of years back and had an idea. I know! I’ve figured how we can STILL get the camera lens to fit AND provide more screen real-estate! We’ll just put a …
Prior to the release of the iPhone X, there were rampant expectations that Apple’s 10-year anniversary device would break all sorts of sales records. With a handful of groundbreaking new features and a stellar, OLED display, everyone anticipated that the hot new iPhone X would dominate the market …
No prizes for guessing what this handset reminds you of design-wise. It is, to be honest, the second handset with a “notch” that I saw in the very same hall, and some manufacturers aren’t afraid if taking “design ideas” from Apple. On the NOA stand it was the …
I’ll be honest here. I don’t have £999 for a phone. I’m using an Honor 9 for £379.99 (read all about it here) and.. well, it’s perfect for me. Lovely camera, a speedy experience, great screen and it looks bloody gorgeous. If I had £999 floating around, I’d …
Just a couple of days ago we took a look at the latest iPhone X prices but you guys, quite rightly, said that they were quite a lot of money. Well. Yes. Now, we did find some deals for around £50 per month but, even though this was …
A little bit of me still whinces when the price tag on a phone is four digits long, and I can’t buy an iPhone X myself because it would be worth more than the car I’m driving. That’s just weird. There’s no getting away from the iPhone X …
As we mentioned earlier on Twitter, new iPhone handsets tend to go through a number of stages during their lifespan. Stage 1 – The iPhones are announced in front of a set of carefully-selected press. Stage 2 – The handsets are derided and criticised. Stage 3 – The …
If you’re well off, you can buy the handsets direct from Apple. The iPhone 8 (64GB) is £699, the 256GB version is £849. You can also pay monthly if you wish, and looking at my bank account, that’s what I’d be doing. Remember though, if you pay the …
EE have been banging on our door quite a bit overnight. They, like many other UK networks, will be ranging the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X. However, they will also be ranging the Apple Watch Series 3 and, as EE CEO Marc Allera …
I’m getting buried in emails from networks and stores. I’m fending off the comments and opinions from industry watchers. No. I need to have my say. Good God Apple. Part of me is astonished. Part of me has to applaud the egotistical attitude on display. It was a …
Ok, we’ll give this a try. You already know quite a bit about the iPhone X / iPhone 8 from our earlier exclusive post and, as is usual with anything Apple related, the excitement surrounding the launch is palpable. We’ve seen what it should look like, the details …
Every time I write about the iPhone I seem to upset someone. Look, the new iPhone will be been announced today, so I’m writing about that. However, this same story could also apply to the Samsung Galaxy Note8. That’s £869, which is a lot of money. The Samsung …
At the weekend I found this, my old HTC One V. Released just five years ago, it has a 3.7″ screen which looks tiny when sat next to the latest smartphones. A 1GHz CPU and 512MB of memory also meant that the experience was hilariously slow. How far …
If you’re looking out for deals on Amazon Prime Day, the Wileyfox Swift 2 X is going to get a 32% discount and the Spark X will be dropped by 36%. To get the deals you’ll need to be a Prime member (paying £79 per year or £7.99 …
If you’re of a certain age the Doro handsets will definitely appeal. They’re simple to understand, easy to use and have an intuitive method of getting tasks done. Some of their line-up, like the 6050 we looked at yesterday, are more simplistic. Other handsets pack further features, such …
O2 MVNO, Tesco Mobile, is offering up a deal for customers buying the Samsung S7 or S7 Edge handset on both pay monthly and pay as you go. Right now, and until March 26th, you can get free gifts worth up to £349. Tesco offers up the Samsung …
Here in Barcelona everyone is looking forward to the big LG G6 event tomorrow. That handset is expected to bring a new screen size, possibly a front-facing dual lens camera and water / dust resistance too. Until the full announcement of that, LG have also given us an …
There was a time, not too long ago, when phones costing £139.99 were best avoided. “Android landfill” they used to call them. Cheap devices with a questionable build quality, a dire camera and wonky screen resolutions. Here, for your money you’re getting a completely network-free device with an …
Sure, our Moto X Force review was pretty comprehensive, but the one thing we didn’t do was… drop it 900 feet from a drone. Yes, the phone does have a shatterproof screen, but surely it wouldn’t be able to survive that, would it? Plus, even if it did, …
We paid another visit to the Sony stand yesterday but nobody could tell us quite what was happening with the Z series. Sure, the new Xperia X series phones are beautifully designed, but what of the Z series? Well, according to a Sony rep, it’s now dead, so …
