Posh Kate Moss accessories now available at Carphone Warehouse
Oh, how we chuckled a few weeks ago when news broke that Kate Moss was allegedly “designing” a range of phone and tablet accessories for Carphone Warehouse. We thought it’d be a pile of cheap pink Chinese tat and flowery stickers solely for iPhones, but no. It’s black, leathery and there’s even some stuff designed [...]
GameStick will be sold exclusively through GAME in the UK
We are in the unusual position of having two stories about UK gaming specialist GAME up on the site in a row, thanks to the battered bricks & mortar chain announcing that it’ll be the only place to shift physical stock of the Android powered GameStick when it arrives here in June. GAME is currently [...]
GAME now taking pre-orders for OUYA Android console
The OUYA console, which we’ve been steadily getting more excited about over the last few months, has found itself a huge backer in the form of UK high street retailer GAME. The chain is now accepting pre-orders for the OUYA, for a one-off price of £99. That includes the little fun cube console itself and [...]
Google confirms Tesco and Morrisons as Play Store Gift Card stockists
After some silly shelf stackers stuck them up on Tesco shelves a bit earlier than planned, Google has today announced the official launch of its pre-paid Google Play Gift Card in the UK. Along with the £10 and £25 we saw earlier, there ought to be a huge £50 HIGH ROLLER card appearing in some [...]
BONKERS telephoto lens for Samsung Galaxy S III, yours for £34.99
Accessory specialist VTEC has launched a few camera additions for Samsung’s hot Galaxy S III Android model, including a ludicrous 12x zoom telephoto lens that sticks out of the back like a sore, robotic thumb. The lens also comes with its own “mini tripod” for enhanced stability when zooming in on whatever you’re zooming in [...]
ACCESSORY REVIEW: Case-Mate Tough Case for Galaxy Nexus
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
ARCHOS 35 Smart Home Phone now available – for £130
ARCHOS has launched another rather odd Android device – the ARCHOS 35 Smart Home Phone. It’s an Android-powered DECT cordless home phone, only with a 3.5″ touchscreen running at 272×480 resolution and based around a 1GHz Texas Instruments 3630 processor. Android 2.2 is the OS. If you want one of these oddities, it’s now available [...]
ACCESSORY REVIEW: Samsung Official Mesh Vent Case for Galaxy Nexus
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.

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… -
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. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish. -
HTC One X review
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 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? -
