Hardcore smartphone boffins (i.e. big data users) will be happy to know that EE is boosting its top data plan to 20GB per month. Currently the largest data allowance on EE’s new 4G plans is 8GB – a level that many consumers have decried as too limiting. Given that 4G speeds are (at a minimum) […]

£439.99 samsung.com/uk Is this the Windows Phone version of the Galaxy S3? Very nearly. It’s very tempting to see Windows Phone as a two horse race between HTC and Nokia.

The iPhone 5’s sales have stumbled already.

Microsoft’s attempt to arrest the decline in sales of its Windows […]

We don’t want to imagine the scenes at Nokia HQ when the HTC Windows Phone 8X and 8S were revealed: getting the nod from Microsoft to put the OS in the name was a blessing the Finns, until then favoured partners, would not have expected to see bestowed on HTC. Perhaps more worrying for Nokia […]

Google’s new Nexus may not turn heads, but it’s the best value Android phone we’ve ever tested… The Google Nexus 4 has an awful lot to live up to – and, put simply, it doesn’t quite meet those hyper-expectations.

This would also assist the company in breaking into more price sensitive markets, such as China and India, where Android is dominant. […]

Put simply, the Nexus 10 is the first tablet to match up to the iPad. The phrase ‘iPad killer’ has been around for as long as the iPad – an oxymoron since there has yet to be any true challenger to the industry’s flagship tablet PC. With the Nexus 10, Apple’s two biggest enemies, Samsung […]
