There are so many amazing new phones released seemingly every week, if not day, but pretty much every single one requires a case if you want to keep it in good nick for more than a few months. Samsung has dabbled with ruggedised versions of its flagships, and […]
Has it really been that long since OnePlus unveiled its new 7 series of handsets? Well, clearly the phone maker thinks so as it is now ready to release the mid-cycle ‘T’ series models. The date has now been confirmed as 10th October, at 4pm British Summer Time, […]
O2 has today made it four out of four for primary networks offering truly unlimited data in the UK. Three has offered ‘all you can eat’ data for years. Vodafone then joined in earlier this year, followed recently by EE. Starting at £33 per month, on an 18-month […]
Apple has today launched three new iPhone 11 models, consisting of the dual-camera iPhone 11 and two triple-camera models, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The iPhone 11 is deemed the successor to the iPhone XR, and comes with a 6.1-inch notched display. On the […]
Smarty, the virtual network powered by Three, is offering a very special deal on its unlimited data plan. Instead of the usual £25 per month price, customers signing up can get a 25% discount that brings the fee down to £18.75 a month – for life (referring to […]
I’m always on the look out for something exciting at any show, and HiSense caught my eye – not for their admittedly impressive TVs or fridges – but for two phones with e-Ink displays. The A5 has only a single display, meaning it’s the e-Ink way or the […]
Honor has launched an app specifically to help the visually impaired to read. PocketVision utilises the AI capabilities of the Honor 20 Pro, to enhance the visual experience of reading. Three key modes are available on the app developed by social enterprise Eyecoming, a company that provides integrated […]
Huawei has used IFA, as it has done many times before, to launch its flagship chipset that will power a series of phones between now and next autumn. It also continues the theme of ending the year and starting the next with the most powerful chip. In this […]
Nokia has launched two new smartphones alongside some new classic handsets that include a new flip-phone and a rugged beast. The Nokia 7.2 (€299 4GB/64GB / €349 6GB/64GB) is Nokia’s third generation Nokia 7 handset, and brings a 48-megapixel camera with ZEISS optics. It also introduces ‘DSLR level’ […]
Honor has introduced its newest wearable, a sub-£30 smart band the company hopes will improve people’s lives, both day and night. With a 0.95-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 24-hour heart rate monitoring, numerous sport and fitness tracking modes, plus multiple customised watch faces, the Band 5 offers exceptional value for […]
Sony has launched a smaller brother to accompany its flagship Xperia 1. The Xperia 5 drops the screen down from 6.5-inches to 6.1-inches, but continues to offer premium features. The handset will be available to buy from next month, with pre-ordering opening in a couple of weeks. Like […]
I’m in Germany for IFA, but before venturing over to the messy Messe, I enjoyed the exceptionally warm weather by attending a special photo walk with other journalists that took us around some of the more non-touristy parts of the German capital. Armed with a Huawei P30 Pro […]
Honor has today launched the Play 3 in its native Chinese market. There’s no word on a global release, nor any idea what happened to the Play 2. What is clear is that Honor has gone in a different direction with its latest gaming-centric phone. Last year’s Honor […]
Samsung has announced the A90 5G, which brings 5G to a wider audience. It will be available to pre-order in the UK from 20th September and on sale 4th October. The handset is far from budget, but will still retail for a lot less than the bulk of […]
September 19th is the confirmed date for the launch of the new Mate 30 series of phones. At this time, its not clear what the situation will be regarding the inclusion of Google services (and if not included, how easy it might be to side-load). Fingers crossed, there […]
A whitepaper released by Counterpoint Research has today revealed that Nokia is leading the way on updating its smartphone software, including all-important security patches. Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei aren’t too far behind. According to its data, almost all Nokia smartphones sold since Q3 2018 are running on Android […]

I’ve been meaning to get out and about to test both EE and Vodafone 5G for a while, but it took a while to get my hands on a Vodafone 5G handset. Now I’m happy to announce that I currently have a phone to play with on both […]
Honor recently ran a marketing campaign that aimed to ‘shine a light’ on negative perceptions of youth smartphone usage. Obviously this was done to promote a phone, in this case the Honor 20 series of phones, but behind the extremely visual campaign was a genuine attempt to challenge […]
Three has offered unlimited data for years, but it wasn’t until Vodafone joined in when launching 5G that EE finally conceded and introduced unlimited data for itself. This leaves O2 as the only main network to join the ever growing club where truly unlimited data, along with unlimited […]
