Lenovo has already proved its worth when it comes to solid Windows tablets with its IdeaPad range of premium slates.

Sony’s Xperia range of smartphones and tablets should really be the jewel in its crown.

It’s rarely a surprise when a new Samsung product is launched. Aside from the Galaxy range, the company is constantly refreshing its hardware.

Samsung is the most popular phone manufacturer in the world by some distance. In 2013 alone, one billion smartphones were shipped, around a third of which were made by Samsung ‘ nearly twice that of its closest competitor, Apple. Samsung makes about half of all Android handsets sold, more than 50 million of which are […]

For many people, their earliest memories of Android smartphones will be of HTC handsets. They weren’t great, at least by today’s standards, and Apple’s iPhone overshadowed them. But they were the first with Android. And if they didn’t put Android on the map, they at least gave it a compass and pointed the way. A […]

Motorola redefined budget phones with the £135 Moto G. So what can it offer higher up the price scale? The Moto X is a top-tier handset that starts at £380 SIM-free, which makes it roughly £150 more than its little brother. For that price you get the expected bump in specs, a lighter phone and […]

Bigger is better. That’s the consensus among smartphone makers right now.  The Samsung Galaxy Note 3, for instance, sports a display measuring 5.7 inches, while the Sony Xperia Z Ultra measures a whopping 6.4 inches.

Having released new handsets for snap-happy and adventurous users at the end of 2013, Samsung is back with a new, budget-priced phone.

For as long as we can remember, mobile phone makers have banged their collective drums to proclaim their devices to be the “smallest and lightest”. Miniaturisation of mobiles was once the holy grail. No stone was left unturned in the quest to make phones as unobtrusive and pocketable as possible. Remember the Motorola RAZR? So […]

illed to be the ‘world’s fastest smartphone’ by Huawei, the Ascend P2 skips along when browsing but leaves a bit to be desired in the processor department.

mbition doesn’t seem to be Prestigio’s strong point. This is a relatively unknown company, based in Cyprus and has largely relied on the Eastern European and Middle Eastern markets for its sales.

martphones these days can be incredibly expensive, so it’s refreshing to find one for £90, especially when it runs Android Jelly Bean (albeit not the latest version).
