Sony has had an impressive run of late, releasing a stream of high-quality phones at all price points. It’s now aiming for its biggest launch yet with the Xperia T – a feature-packed Android device billed as its new flagship smartphone. Even James Bond has been spotted using one in the movie, Skyfall. When we […]

While Doro may not be a brand you’ve heard of before, the Swedish firm has been building a name for itself for many years, crafting thoughtfully-designed phones aimed at less tech-savvy elderly phone users. The PhoneEasy 715 is its latest creation and with its sturdy build, great ease-of-use and well thought-out design, it provides a […]

When Samsung launched the original Galaxy Note late last year, the unique smartphone/tablet hybrid’s huge screen and impressive performance made it an ideal choice for multimedia fans. Its successor is now bigger than ever and packed with stunning power and features, but you’ll need big hands and a large wallet to fully enjoy it. The […]

After almost twelve long months of waiting, the much-anticipated Apple iPhone 5 has finally arrived. But in a year where we’ve seen cutting-edge, market-defining devices launched by Samsung and HTC, among others, can Apple hold onto its crown in the ever-growing smartphone market, or has the mighty iPhone finally lost its touch? While everyone expected […]

Following the launch of the original Motorola Defy and the Motorola Defy+, the Motorola Defy Mini is the smallest model in the Google-owned manufacturer’s line of water-resistant, dustproof smartphones. The previous two models offerered decent attempts at finding a compromise between the sophisticated technology needs of urban users and the demands of outdoorsy-types who want […]

Sony’s Xperia range offers a wide choice of smartphones for all needs and budgets, including the high-end Sony Xperia S and the sleek and affordable Sony Xperia U. The Sony Xperia P sits in the middle and proves an impressively feature-packed handset that offers good value for money. Available in a choice of eye-catching black, […]

Until recently Hannspree has mainly been associated with producing televisions and PC monitors. But following the success of the Apple iPad and the resurgence of tablet technology, it entered the tablet market with the original Hannspree Hannspad. While it didn’t set the world alight, the first Hannspree Hannspad provided a functional and affordable alternative to […]

Toshiba has had mixed fortunes in the tablet market to date, with early devices such as the Toshiba Folio 100 being pulled from UK retail outlets and more recent tablets like the Toshiba AT200 winning great critical acclaim. The latest in the range is the Toshiba AT300 and this slim and usable Android device could […]

While Samsung is still riding high on the success of the Galaxy S III, it also offers a range of affordable entry- and mid-level smartphones that provide great usability at a low price. The latest is the Galaxy Ace 2, an Android-powered handset that packs plenty of value for money. Building on the foundation of […]

It’s difficult to get very excited about network branded handsets. History tells us they are often under specified, low cost and badly built devices. Remember the O2 X1 anyone? But thankfully times have changed, and many of these handsets today are built by credible phone manufacturers such as Huawei, ZTE and Alcatel, who all produce […]

The LG Optimus L3 is the lowest ranked handset in LG’s L Series – which also comprises the LG Optimus L5 and Optimus L7 – but you can’t tell by looking at its design. It’s not a great-looking handset, but in a world where the trend for devices is to get bigger and bigger, almost […]

With all the excitement around the release of the Samsung Galaxy S III, you could be forgiven for forgetting that Samsung also makes a wide range of other high-quality handsets. However, the Korean firm hasn’t become the world’s leading mobile-maker by being a one-trick pony and it has something on offer for everyone.

The Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710 were well-received debuts for Nokia’s first Windows Phone range back in 2011. The Nokia Lumia 900 is even more significant as it’s the first Nokia Lumia flagship phone for the all-important US market. And it’s now arrived in the UK.

Back in 2002 Nokia introduced the world to the notion of the cameraphone with the launch of the Nokia 7650. That handset had a mere 0.3-Megapixel sensor, capable of handling snaps of a resolution up to 640 x 480 pixels.

Touchscreen phones and smartphones are permanently inter-twined, thanks to Apple’s pioneering iPhone. But not all smartphones are touchscreens – see BlackBerry – and the Alcatel OT-602 touchscreen phone is definitely not a smartphone. At just £20 on Pay As You Go, it’s a teeny, tiny, first mobile for tweens, with just enough features to keep […]

Last September, South Korean gadget giant Samsung used its enormous stand at the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin to show off a brand new tablet, an answer to Apple’s all-conquering iPad. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 received praise for its beautiful build quality and unique 7.7-inch 1280 x 800 AMOLED touchscreen display – […]

Nokia has been in freefall for years now, rapidly losing smartphone market share: sure, it’s still the world’s biggest mobile manufacturer, but that just means it’s had further to fall. The company’s partnership with Microsoft to produce Windows Phone devices, aimed at stemming the flow and announced early last year, bore fruit in October, with […]

The original Asus Eee Pad Transformer broke new ground, blurring the line between tablet and notebook PC. The Transformer Prime builds on the original concept with a 1.3GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor that makes it the fastest tablet to be released in the UK. Power is useless if not wielded properly, however, and in […]

Whatever business you’re in, everything is mobile now. That’s become especially true in recent years for the world’s leading PC and laptop manufacturers, who’ve slowly cottoned on to the fact that they can’t let the likes of Apple hoover up all of the tablet and phone market. We’ve seen the likes of Asus and Dell […]

Samsung has had a phenomenal year in phones, aided almost entirely by its spectacular flagship Google Android phones, the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Nexus. But Samsung is a huge company, and it sells many more phones, to cater for every price bracket. Down at the other end of the scale, we’ve got the […]
