| TechRadar HTC Explorer review | 1st December 2011 |
| The HTC Explorer is a dinky little thing. Pebble-shaped and mainly covered in hard-wearing rubber with a metallic embossed panel on the battery cover, it's amusing to see HTC equate 'first smart phone' with 'as potentially unbreakable as possible' | |
| Mobile Choice T-Mobile Vivacity review | 1st December 2011 |
| A classy-looking smartphone that reproduces iPhone style for a fraction of the price, but a slow touch-screen detracts from the usually intuitive Android interface | |
| TechRadar ViewSonic ViewPad 7e review | 29th November 2011 |
| At £150, the ViewSonic ViewPad 7e is a low-priced 7-inch Android 2.3 tablet that some might find appealing if only for the flexibility it affords. Similar to the BlackBerry PlayBook in size, with a passing nod to the upcoming (but still not available in the UK) Amazon Kindle Fire, the ViewPad 7e is not nearly as user-friendly. Some apps, including those from Google, are noticeably not available. | |
| TechRadar Sony Tablet P review | 29th November 2011 |
| The excellent Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, ViewSonic ViewPad 7, Motorola Xoom and the innovative Asus Eee Pad Slider are all fantastic devices, which we'd happily use as our personal tablets. At long last Apple has competition for its much-loved iPad 2. Sony has further innovated the humble tablet by releasing this dual-screen Google Android beast, nicknamed the Tablet P. Unlike the folded-magazine design of the recent Sony Tablet S, this device folds in the middle, similar to Nintendo's handheld 3DS console. | |
| Mobile Choice Archos 101 G9 review | 29th November 2011 |
| If you’re all about the mobile movie experience this is one of the best tablets out there, and it’s reasonably cheap too. But poor battery life and a plastic feel means it’s no iPad 2 killer | |
| GSMArena Motorola RAZR review | 29th November 2011 |
| The 4.3\" SuperAMOLED screen boasts higher resolution than, say, the Samsung Galaxy S II. It bumps up the pixel density to 256ppi (up from 217ppi). And with a dual-core processor running at 1.2GHz and 1GB RAM, it's got enough processing power to challenge the other dual-cores. It has an 8MP camera with 1080p recording too. But even those specs just aren’t as impressive as the sheer look of the thing. The RAZR droid is only 7.1mm thick throughout (take that Japan-only phones) and about 10.7mm at the bulge that holds the camera and loudspeaker. | |
| The Register Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | 28th November 2011 |
| The much-anticipated new Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the first phone to feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich – or ICS if you’re being very 'now' – the latest version of Google’s mobile OS. It also includes one of Samsung’s top of the range HD screens, a dual core processor and 1080p HD video recording – not too aspirational then. | |
| SlashGear Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 review | 28th November 2011 |
| AT&T and Samsung have brought forth a tablet that adds to their set of sleek Android-based slates, this one the first to work with the carrier’s 4G LTE network. Inside you’ll find the rather powerful 1.5Ghz Qualcomm MSM8660 dual-core processor, Samsung’s custom user interface TouchWiz UX made specifically for tablets, and either 16 or 32GB or internal storage. You can take 3 megapixel photos and 720p videos with the back-facing camera, slightly less impressive media with the front-facing 2 megapixel camera. As this tablet is thin, so is it speedy, and as there are now more than four different models of tablet running Android from Samsung on the market today, surely they’ve gotten the formula correct enough to warrant such an array by now – wouldn’t you say? | |
| The Inquirer Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | 24th November 2011 |
| MOBILE DEVICE PARTNERS Samsung and Google have joined forces to create the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which debuts the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The front of the Galaxy Nexus is very minimalist. It's glossy black with just the screen, speaker and front facing camera visible. There is a multicoloured notification light below the screen but you won't even know it's there until it comes on for the first time. | |
| The Inquirer Samsung Galaxy Nexus video review | 23rd November 2011 |
| THE FORCES of Samsung and Google have combined once again to bring out their latest offering in the smartphone market with the Galaxy Nexus. The handset went on sale last week and brought with it the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This latest Google mobile operating system merges the smartphone and tablet variants and adds features such as facial recognition to unlock devices and near field communication (NFC) sharing of content such as apps and files. | |
| Pocket-lint Motorola RAZR review | 23rd November 2011 |
| If nothing else, 2011 has been an exciting year for phones that aren't the iPhone. Android continues its evolution, new handsets are popping up all the time and many of them are stunning. Two of the biggest this year are the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and this, the Motorola Razr. It's a new design, but a really old name. But it's got form because the original Razr sold by the boatload. Pre-iPhone, it was the phone that everyone had to have. So is the new Razr the phone that everyone will want to be seen with, or is it just another massive Android phone? | |
| GSMArena Samsung Galaxy Y review | 23rd November 2011 |
| The Samsung Galaxy Y is one little step above dumbphones. It won’t be long before you know how big this step really was. Android is friendly, especially in a package like the Galaxy Y, and highly addictive. And there's plenty to explore. The Samsung Galaxy Y is most likely someone's first smartphone. It comes on the cheap so you don't have to ask yourself if you really need all the extra features. Soon enough, you'll be wondering how you could live without them. | |
| The Register Asus Eee Pad Slider review | 23rd November 2011 |
| I first laid hands on the Asus Eee Pad Slider back in March and now, after eight long months, it has finally made it onto the shelves of Blighty’s gadget wallahs. Has it been worth the wait though? | |
| TechRadar HTC Rhyme review | 22nd November 2011 |
| From stick-on Swarovski bling to mobile phones shaped like make-up compacts (ick) to laptops with 'accessorisable covers to match your outfit!' (seriously?) tech companies have always had a hard time marketing at women without making their product look and feel entirely dumb. The HTC Rhyme may not be explicitly aimed at women (though all the mentions of purses and bags in the blurb might be a giveaway), but there's something about this tactile handset that's going to appeal to the ladies out there. | |
| GSMArena HTC Sensation XL review | 22nd November 2011 |
| They say music soothes even the savage beast. In the case of the HTC Sensation XL, it just makes it cooler. The Sensation XL shares its design and mammoth 4.7\" screen with the Titan, but the XL is part of the Android squad and packs a lyrical iBeats headset. The Sensation XL uses almost exactly the same hardware as the Titan - the major difference is that the XL packs four Android capacitive keys and there's no hardware shutter key, but that's about it. The single Scorpion core in the Snapdragon chipset runs at 1.5GHz again and the camera is an 8MP unit that records 720p video. Even the screen is the same 4.7\" WVGA S-LCD unit, not the qHD resolution of the Sensation XE. | |
| TechRadar Motorola RAZR review | 21st November 2011 |
| The familiar Motorola Razr brand is back, but this time it's re-imagined with Android 2.3.5, an 8MP camera with Full HD recording and a super slim chassis that's just 7.1mm. That doesn't make it the thinnest phone in the world, as it's still got a thicker end to it at the top of the phone - but given you don't hold that section, it certainly feels slim. | |
| SlashGear Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | 21st November 2011 |
| A new Nexus is a big deal in Android land, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has plenty to live up to. As close to an official Googlephone as we ever get, they demonstrate not just how Android’s creators think smartphone development should progress, but set the benchmark by which the platform as a whole is compared to rivals like the iPhone. The Galaxy Nexus brings with it Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and some of Samsung’s finest hardware: do the two add up to the best smartphone on the market today? | |
| Pocket-lint Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | 21st November 2011 |
| The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is beautifully designed and we can't help thinking that it is one of the most attractive phone launches of 2011. It is more interesting in looks than the Samsung Galaxy SII, it's more sophisticated than the Motorola Razr, it's more distinctive than the HTC Sensation. Perhaps we like it as much as we do the design of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S. | |
| TechRadar Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | 18th November 2011 |
| The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the world's first phone to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and comes with a plethora of top end tech, including a huge but still massively high resolution screen. There are some gadgets in geek-world that are announced and we just cannot wait to touch. Nokia's N95, the original iPhone, the T-Mobile G1 and Palm's first Pre. And the Galaxy Nexus fits firmly in that category. | |
| Mobile Choice Motorola RAZR review | 18th November 2011 |
| The RAZR is an impressive piece of kit with some nifty pieces of software on board but you can't escape the feeling that Samsung and HTC had most of this covered six months ago | |
