Three UK has started selling the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy S III, branding it as an “Ultrafast” handset. What this means is it’ll run RIGHT NOW on Three’s existing and extremely swift DC-HSDPA 3G network, which offers download speeds well into double-digit Mbps numbers, plus it’ll be ready for use on the network’s future 4G masts whenever they appear for use.
There’s not a huge incentive to pick one up now, though, with this Galaxy S III appearing for “free” on monthly contracts starting at £34 a month…
…although that does include the network’s popular “All You Can Eat” mobile data option. So if you get a good Three signal you’ll be in download speed heaven – and ready for 4G when it hits later this year. Check it out here.
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?

/ February 13, 2013I’ve seen some crazy speed results from Three users, so might be a good move if you get a decent signal in the places you hang out.
