Sony Xperia Z2 review
This is Sony’s latest go at producing a high-spec Android flagship model, with the Xperia Z2 ticking every one of 2014’s must-have tech bullet points. It has a large 5.2-inch 1080p display. It has the hot new Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset inside. It has a massive 3GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. It’s […]

LG/Google Nexus 5 review
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…

Vodafone Huawei Ascend G510 review
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..

Kogan Agora 5.0" Dual-core Smartphone review
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 […]

Panasonic Eluga review
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.

HTC One V review
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 it still arrives running the same HTC Sense 4 interface we saw in the excellent […]
-
HTC One S review
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. You get the same ImageSense camera technology as employed to such great effect in the HTC One X, along with Android 4.0.3 and the very latest HTC Sense […]
-
HTC One X review
Here it is then, 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. You also get a fantastic 8megapixel camera that we’ve previously examined in great detail, […]

HTC One X review: Camera, photo and video samples
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 Xperia S review
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?

Sony Xperia S review: Camera, photo and video samples
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 Prada 3.0 review
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.

ACCESSORY REVIEW: Samsung Official Mesh Vent Case for Galaxy Nexus
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.

ACCESSORY REVIEW: Case-Mate Barely There for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate. Although this particular product retails for around the same price as FlexiShield’s TPU option, it’s quite a different proposition. Review submitted by extremely patient retro gaming advisor Damo. As the name suggests, […]

To that end, we’ll be covering a few Galaxy Nexus-themed items over the next few weeks, starting with the FlexiShield Case. Review submitted by reader, writer, gamer and occasional […]

/ May 19, 2011Seems to be there for SIM free (i.e. non-network bundled) phones and, from the reports from others, for Vodafone and Orange supplied phones as well. If you obtained your Galaxy S from another network YMMV.
Why on earth do I have to download a great big upgrade to the Kies bloatware in order to install it though? I’ve not long gone through the pain of installing the b****y thing, now I have to download it again! Argh! And it’s not even as though it makes it easy to download by providing a link – no you have to do a web search on order to find it.

I have had the same ‘You have the latest version’ message for several days. Eventually, I uninstalled Kies and downloaded and installed it again and the 2.3.3 update started straight away.

/ June 14, 2011Vodafone shit. It is shame. Since 2.3.4 has gone out and nothing … and continue with no improvements Froyo … I once had an iPhone 3G and it is very close if you do not do the jailbreak but updates were constant and for all … In my opinion it is better OS android but the updates have to go through operators, manufacturers and even my grandmother … I make the market more desperate SO … Saludos
