Slightly shaky Archos 5 Android tablet gates Android 1.6 update
We doubt many people in the world actually own one of these after the lukewarm critical reception the Archos 5 Android tablet got upon launch (sure to be the first lukewarm critical reaction of many pointless Android tablets yet to come this year), but if you DID somehow end up owning one due to some sort of mixup, you may now update its OS to Android 1.6, or “Donut” as someone at Archos is calling it to make themselves look really “into” the Android scene… Read the rest

Nokia ATTACKS – starts giving away its Ovi Maps satnav app to counter Android

A 640 x 360 3.2″ screen, 720MHz processor, 8megapixel camera 720p “HD” video recording, Bluetooth, GPS and wi-fi, yet Sony Ericsson consigns the poor Vivaz to the SCRAPHEAP OF HISTORY by putting Symbian S60 on it?.. Read the rest

Galaxy Nexus review
Google’s third Nexus is bigger, once again made by Samsung and features the new Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS. It’s obviously going to be good. But how good? -
HTC Sensation XL review
The HTC Sensation XL is an odd one by HTC. It updates the screen size of this year’s HTC Sensation to 4.7″ and includes Beats Audio enhancements, but you lose a bit of processor speed – the HTC Sensation XL is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz brain… Read the rest

Motorola RAZR review
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner. -
Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray review
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute. -
LG Optimus 3D review
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming. -
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo review
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone? -
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo review: Camera and video samples
To accompany our Xperia Neo review we’ve put together this collection of photos taken using Sony Ericsson’s latest Android phone, which features an 8megapixel Exmor R sensor… Read the rest

INQ Cloud Touch review
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
