Xiaomi has already drawn Apple comparisons from the tech community over its iPhone lookalike handsets and iOS-aping MIUI interface.

When releasing a new flagship handset, every manufacturer’s priority should be making it faster than its predecessor – and it usually is.

Just in case you’re still on the fence about whether to buy an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, Apple has roped in Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake to convince you.

Frequenters of What Mobile will know how pleased we were with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha.

One of the things which got us most excited about the iPhone 6 was Apple Pay. Okay, it was the most exciting thing. NFC is great. NFC is the future. NFC will be… not technically available on the iPhone 6. Not in the truest sense, at least. As it turns out, the iPhone 6 and iPhone […]

We enjoyed the Misfit Shine when we reviewed it earlier this year. It was a very solid alternative to some of the big boys (Jawbone, Fitbit etc) and had some neat features. We also liked the price – £80 for all it offers, and an app constantly being updated and improved, sounds a fair deal to […]

As is usually the case with a successful app, Snapchat has spawned its fair share of imitators. What’s more intriguing, however, are the big names that are so blatantly plagiarising it.

Anyone who’s used Adobe Photoshop before will be familiar with the ‘eyedropper’ tool.

The new mid-range HTC Desire 820 and Lenovo Vibe Z2 are, alongside a handful of other smartphones, harbingers of change for Android devices.

Sony’s product cycle this year is a little confusing, even for us. The Xperia Z1 Compact was released in January. It was good.
