I didn’t have much awareness of the Huawei brand beyond dongles but after a fairly intimate 6 hours session with their engineers, managers and PR people in London’s Roundhouse it feels like it’s all I’ve ever know. Huawei chose June 18 to launch the superslim Ascend P6 smartphone as it’s…
Stock Android: Pros and Cons

1stFone Mobile for 4-9 Year Olds
Gadgets don’t tend to cause a lot of controversy. Their uses and applications may be called into question sometimes, but an actually device is usually free from any condemnation or disapproval. However you get the feeling that a mobile phone aimed at four-to-nine-year-olds would cause quite a stir…and it has….
The Ultimate HTC One Accessories Collection
It’s no secret that, at least by its own high standards, HTC has fallen from grace over the last year, with Samsung and perennial competitor Apple stealing enough of the Taiwanese manufacturer’s market share to allegedly push the CEO to threaten resignation if its new flagship handset “fails”.

ZTE Grand Memo Smartphone: Ghetto Phabulous
ZTE has recently introduced the Grand Memo, its latest smartphone, or should that be tablet? With a whopping 5.7-inch screen, the device is being entered into the phablet market due to its expansive display and processing ability. The Grand Memo features a high definition 720 x 1280 display, an impressive…
Best iPhone Photo and Video Accessories
As the old adage goes, the best camera is the one you have with you. And more often than not these days that will be your smartphone. Pretty much all modern smartphones have great cameras. That’s a given. And there are a range of amazing apps out there on all…
Sony Xperia Z Review Roundup
We had a play with Sony Xperia Z, most of which involved dunking the giant smartphone into tanks of water and marvelling at how it still functioned. Packing a huge screen, great camera and a zippy processor it’s everything you want from a modern Android smartphone. What do the experts…
Blackberry Z10 Review Roundup: Phoenix Rising or Swan Song?
Very much a fallen angel, it’s rare to hear Research in Motion’s name mentioned these days without “troubled” preceeding it. So much so that they’ve rebranded. But this wasn’t always the case and as the BlackBerry manufacturer’s legions of stubborn fans can attest, they were once at the top of…
