Pocket-lint Vodafone Smart review22nd July 2011
The Vodafone Smart is a budget Android smartphone which can be yours for the princely sum of £75. It is a network-skinned Huawei U8160, also known as the Vodafone 858, and like many of the current run of OEM devices, is designed to be affordable above all else. But have too many corners been cut? Does opting for a smartphone on a budget limit how smart it actually is?
Pocket-lint HTC EVO 3D review21st July 2011
Now that you can pick up touchscreen smartphones for pocket money prices, premium mobiles have to find other ways to differentiate themselves. 3D is the perfect solution, adding a gloss of techno-cool to imaging and gaming, and promising yet more to come (3D navigation anyone?). The latest device intent on dragging us kicking and screaming into a new dimension is the HTC EVO 3D, a feature-packed Android phone available on the Sprint network in the US. With twin 5-megapixel cameras to capture 3D photos and videos, and a glasses-free 3D screen for playback, the EVO 3D promises nothing short of a multi-dimensional revolution.
The Register Vodafone Smart review21st July 2011
You can argue all you want about the merits of the various mobile operating systems but it’s undoubtedly Android that has put smartphones into the hands of the impecunious masses and in numbers that would have been inconceivable just eighteen months ago. The new king of the cheap charlies is the Vodafone Smart or Huawei U8160 to give it its manufacturer designation. This pound shop special runs Android 2.2 and has a capacitive screen but will only set you back £75.
The Inquirer LG Optimus 3D review20th July 2011
YOU CAN TRY to ignore it, but 3D technology is all around us now. It's here in laptops, TVs, monitors, games consoles and now, it seems the smartphone is no exception. Courtesy of LG we have the UK's first 3D display-equipped phone, and it's glasses-free. Out of its box the handset looks and feels top quality. We like the fact that the phone has different styling to the Optimus 2X with a larger screen that, as you'd expect, takes up a vast amount of the front of the phone. It's finished off at the top and bottom with a slick dark brushed aluminium look.
The Register Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo review19th July 2011
Sony Ericsson’s top of the range Xperia Arc was a bold move, cramming a feast of the company’s very latest technology into a case seemingly not a whole lot thicker than a credit card. The Xperia Neo winds things down a notch, not least the price, and the style, but this Android mid-ranger still manages to pack a serious punch.
Pocket-lint Motorola Droid 3 review19th July 2011
The Droid 3 is the ultimate expression of Droid DNA. Motorola has crammed every feature it possibly can into this dual-core Gingerbread device, from an 8 megapixels camera to a five-row slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Like previous Droid devices, the Droid 3 is debuting on Verizon in America network - although without being able to take advantage of the network’s stunning 4G LTE speeds. Does the powerful Droid 3 take Motorola to another level? Or is the company making the same mistakes again, putting all of its mobile eggs into one Droid-shaped basket?
TechRadar Samsung Galaxy Pro review18th July 2011
Samsung is like the little engine that could. It just keeps on going. Sometimes it produces high-end, market-leading smartphones such as the stupendous Galaxy S II, sometimes it plays a safer game, attacking the middle of the road as with the likes of the Galaxy Mini. It's Android's turn again, but with a bit of a twist. Samsung has stuck Android 2.2 into a small-screened handset with a chunky BlackBerry-style keyboard, in the hope, no doubt, of stealing some market share from the fruity company that seems to be losing its way a little at present.
T3 Sony Ericsson XPERIA Ray video review18th July 2011
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray follows in the footsteps of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc. With little fanfare, this mid-range smartphone was announced in June and comes toting Android and a Bravia-tech based display.
SlashGear T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide review15th July 2011
In my possession I have HTC’s latest attempt at a slider. This here is the myTouch 4G Slide running over on T-Mobile with those super fast 4G speeds. It takes everything you liked about the myTouch 4G and adds those few features we liked in the 3G slide and poof — we have the myTouch 4G Slide. This bad boy has a dual-core 1.2 Ghz CPU and a slide out QWERTY keyboard to keep you all busy. I must admit though, the camera is pretty neat too.
GSMArena HTC Salsa review15th July 2011
The Salsa has something the ChaCha doesn't: a family tree. The Salsa is part of the new generation of midrange phones by HTC, along with the likes of the Wildfire S. But calling it a Facebook-centric Wildfire S would be oversimplifying or just plain wrong. As a matter of fact, HTC went on to give the Salsa more than just that tiny Facebook button. It tops the Wildfire S in terms of screen size and processor clock speed, and throws in a few features that the Wildfire S didn't bother with - like video calls, HD video and web Flash support.
The Inquirer Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review14th July 2011
Samsung's design revisions have resulted in a very thin tablet, though it has to be said it is not as astonishingly thin as its Galaxy S II smartphone. Compared to Apple's Ipad, you can notice a difference in thickness, however against the Ipad 2 the difference is neligible. The truth is, however, that the physical appearance isn't the biggest selling point of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which runs Android 3.0, Honeycomb.
GSMArena Sony Ericsson XPERIA Ray preview14th July 2011
Big is in with Android phones but the Xperia ray is eager to prove that petite smartphones have a charm of their own. All the horsepower of the Arc in a body that's a centimeter shorter both ways - think a premium saloon turned into a roadster. The Sony Ericsson Xperia ray has plenty to offer, not the least of which is an 8MP camera with HD video recording and a Bravia Mobile engine powered screen with eye-popping pixel density.
Pocket-lint Samsung Galaxy Fit review13rd July 2011
Fit. It’s a word that means many things in English, from ascertaining one’s sporting readiness, to asserting attractiveness. Neither of these things particularly apply to the Samsung Galaxy Fit, leaving us wondering exactly where the enrty-level smartphone fits in. With the feature phone market basically flushed, Samsung has filled a number of positions with Android smartphones in the Galaxy range - the Gio, Fit, Ace and Mini all fall into a sort of non-distinct category, with similar specs across the board.
GSMArena HTC ChaCha review12nd July 2011
Standing out in the ever growing crowd of droids is a tall task indeed. Doing so while keeping the whole thing affordable, is next to impossible. HTC – of all makers – somehow managed to achieve it, vastly improving the market prospects of their ChaCha, aka the Facebook phone. Who would say no to a friendly smartphone with a thing for social networking? It takes a little blue button and we get the point, but the QWERTY keyboard is a statement of its own too. Facebook integration is said to be deeper than ever (and that's on Android 2.3 where it was just fine from the get-go).
CNET UK Samsung Galaxy Fit review11st July 2011
The Samsung Galaxy Fit looks good and offers a great camera. Its low-res screen and relatively weedy CPU are disappointing but this Android smart phone is very affordable.
The Register HTC ChaCha review8th July 2011
This Android 2.3 smartie is a funky frolic of a phone with a slimline form factor (114 x 65 x 11m and 124g) that curves in the middle to give it an ergonomic lift in the palm. Its white rubberised plastic and brushed aluminium casing give it a zesty modern feel. While the top half is typically Android – with the four familiar control buttons nestling beneath the touch screen – the 40-key Qwerty keyboard that takes up the lower part looks decidedly different for a Googlephone. BlackBerry users may feel a certain déjà vu, however.
SlashGear BeBook Live review7th July 2011
BeBook is a company better known for its ereaders, but the lure of the tablet has proved too great. The BeBook Live is a low-cost Android slate, still proclaiming its ereader heritage but also hoping to earn itself a place as your browsing, multimedia and gaming gadget of choice. With a price significantly lower than that of rival tablets, can the BeBook Live really replace both your iPad and your Kindle in one fell swoop?
Pocket-lint LG Optimus 3D review7th July 2011
Last year we were talking about 3D TVs and this year, it seems, 3D is fighting its way into other devices. We’re yet to really see people proclaiming that 3D is essential so it remains somewhat niche in its appeal, but for how long? The LG Optimus 3D was an early entry into the 3D mobile phone market - we first saw it back in February - but it’s only just coming to market, and has a new rival in the guise of the HTC Evo 3D. But is this novelty value with no substance, or is it a revolutionary device in 3D content creation and consumption?
CNET UK LG Optimus 3D review7th July 2011
The LG Optimus 3D is a pretty humdrum smart phone with one spectacular trick up its sleeve -- a glasses-free 3D screen. If you're into three dimensions, it'll be worth a look.
SlashGear Samsung Dart review6th July 2011
The Samsung Dart also known as the Galaxy Mini is one of the smallest Android phones around. Weighs just around 3.80 oz and sized at 4.09 x 2.40 x 0.51 although it might feel large if you’re coming from a flip phone or a everyday feature phone but for most Android users this is a small device. One of the phones biggest pros is also a con and that is the screen. It has a 3.14-inch TFT display with a low 240×320 resolution so it isn’t the best looking display, but that small screen gives this phone pretty great battery life.
