Niche budget maker Kogan, which has a knack of making the cheapest Android tablets out there, has moved into the phone market with its Kogan Agora Smartphone. It’s a 5″ model with a 1GHz dual-core chipset, which the maker is currently accepting orders for at a ludicrously cheap price of £119.
Obviously there are a few compromises. There’s only 4GB of internal storage space, 512MB of RAM and the 5″ display won’t look great running at 480 x 800 resolution, but there’s a 5MP camera with LED flash onboard, SD card slot, 0.3MP front facing chat camera, decent 2,000mAh battery, TWO SIM card slots and…
… it looks pretty nice too, in a Galaxy S II kind of way. Kogan’s taking orders for the thing right now over on its web site, with deliveries set to begin from February 14th. Should be a good performer for that kind of money.
Having gone through the checkout process FOR A LAUGH it turns out there’s an £11 delivery fee and it ships from Hong Kong, so there may be import duties to worry about when it arrives. Just so you know.
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.
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?
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?

The 7″ tablet was ok so this should be to?
Pity it is only 800×480 resolution (189ppi)
