Just when we thought the price of the Galaxy Tab was beginning to stabllise around the £400 mark, UK supermarket Tesco goes SAVINGS MAD and slices another chunk off the price of the Android tablet – taking it down to £359.20.
That’s quite a big percentage to chop off the price of the thing in one go.
It’ll just about be affordable by the time the new range of tablets flood onto the market. Link via Twitter.
Huawei’s latest budget phone appeared out of nowhere a couple of weeks ago, announced as an exclusive by UK network Vodafone a day before going on sale — with a bargain price of £130 attached to the Ascend G510 should you buy it on a pay-as-you-go basis. It’s the natural replacement for the £100 Ascend [...]
We bought one of these using our actual money. We couldn’t quite believe that budget hardware maker Kogan was able to sell a 5″ Android phone for £119 plus delivery from Hong Kong so had to get one to have a look at the thing under our usual LABORATORY CONDITIONS. First impressions of the Kogan Agora [...]
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
HTC’s new quad-core flagship phone doesn’t just feature Android 4.0, a 4.7″ display and Nvidia’s newest Tegra 3 chipset – there’s also an entirely new 8megapixel camera in the phone, powered by a system HTC is calling ImageSense. And this camera is one of the many highlights of the new Android phone, offering the perfect [...]
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
We’ve spent most of the last week captivated by the staggeringly sharp screen of the new Sony Xperia S, while putting together what will hopefully be something resembling a review for you all to read very shortly. In the meantime, to be getting on with, here are a few sample photos and videos, taken using [...]
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.

/ January 25, 2011That’s a bad sign, no Honeycomb for the early adopters…
Tamblin
/ January 25, 2011Such an embarrassingly short product lifecycle. How can something so amazing be pretty much obsolete after three months on sale?
MrChaz
/ January 25, 2011Who says it’s not going to get Honeycomb?
Rik Hemsley
/ January 25, 2011There goes my hope of £150 this month. Maybe next year?

/ January 25, 2011I hope for the device’s sake that it DOES get 3.0; I’ve used one at work a few times and it’s actually a pretty solid little device. It would be a terrible shame if Samsung decided to leave it with 2.2; although it wouldn’t surprise me if they did just that, and decided to push a Tab 2 with Honeycomb on it instead of upgrading perfectly good hardware.
That said, the folks over at XDA-Devs will probably port some version of Honeycomb onto it if Samsung decide to abandon it. Smart lads they are, over there.

/ January 25, 2011Samsung will walk away from this. Their history of updating Android product is not too good so far. An official Samsung branded Honeycomb is extremely unlikely.
I reckon this was a bit of an experiment by Samsung to test the market for such product. It was horrendously overpriced and far too early.
Samsung Galaxy Tab
/ January 26, 2011I’m expecting the next Galaxy Tab at the MWC this february. So it’s logical that Samsung is lowering their price at this moment.

/ January 31, 2011I’ve got the Samsung Galaxy Tab (UK), and I can honestly say it is the single best Android device I have ever used – the nice size that can fit in my pockets, and also be pulled out and plugged into the keyboard to turn into a laptop – just makes it an outstandingly all-round device.
I had a Samsung E900 waaay back in the day, and then moved to LG. I then had an HTC hero, and was torn between the Desire HD and the Tab – I’m so glad I gave Samsung another chance.
