Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Review

The Note 4 is the big powerhouse in Samsung's Galaxy phone range and it just keeps getting better with each iteration. This latest model gets a new processor, an even sharper screen and a couple of improved cameras. The Galaxy Note 4 is on sale now for £629 SIM free. Screen & Chassis Samsung recently moved away from its all-plastic aesthetic with the aluminium casing of the Galaxy Alpha, and there are echoes of that with the Galaxy Note...

Apple iphone 6 plus Review

Design The iPhone 6 Plus sports the same newly curvaceous design as its smaller sibling, but with one major difference: its beefed-up body frames a substantially larger 5.5in, Full HD display. This makes the iPhone 6 Plus something of a handful but, at only 7.3mm thick, the slender, curved profile fits surprisingly well in the hand. With the rounded edges nestling comfortably in the crook of each finger, it feels just as manageable as the Samsung...

Apple iphone 6 Review

Despite other companies’ attempts at mocking them, the launch of a new iPhone is an annual cultural event. No other yearly product launch creates as much buzz or has the masses talking like a new iPhone. For good or for worse, the new iPhone is always the next big thing. However, the current state of the smartphone industry in 2014 is not the same as it was five years ago. Whether it’s the LG G3, the HTC One (M8), or the OnePlus One, there are...

HTC One M8 Review

Design Smartphones are very personal devices. They're always with you, either in your pocket, on your desk, or in your hand. Like a piece of clothing or jewelry, the device you choose makes a personal statement about you. When I'm ready to drop $600 or more on a phone, I want to make sure I'm getting something that looks good in addition to being functional. Besides the iPhone, I think the HTC One is the only device that accomplishes that. I've...

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Review

Design If you read our preview of Samsung’s previous Galaxy Note II handset, released in Australia some 12 months ago, you will remember that at the time we wrote that the design of the handset was very similar to Samsung’s more mainstream Galaxy S III model. If you thought of the Galaxy Note II as a stylus-equipped fatter, wider, taller version of the Galaxy S III, you would have been pretty much on the money with respect to its design. However,...

LG G Flex Review

The Curve I had my doubts about curved phones, be it the LG G Flex or the Samsung Galaxy Round. But once I used the G Flex for a few hours, I found it more ergonomic and the screen produced fewer reflections than flat phones like the 6" Nokia Lumia 1520 and the 5.7" Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The 700mm radius curve isn't just there to fit the curve of your face; it also makes sense in the back pocket of your jeans (particularly if you have a 700mm...

LG G2 Mini Review

The LG G2 Mini took the spotlight away from everyone in the ‘mini smart-phone’ category at the Mobile World Congress 2014, in Barcelona, Spain. Lining up as a ‘sister’ phone to the LG G2, the G2 mini has a 4.7 inch display, which is strikingly similar to the flagship HTC One. The MWC 2014 was the stage for LG to showcase their cheaper version of the LG G2, and it must said; the G2 Mini steals the show. Expected to be officially launched somewhere...
