  • The Huawei P8 is the Chinese firm's latest foray into the flagship market, and it's arguably its best handset to date after the comparably sedate Ascend P6 and Ascend P7 of the past couple of years.
    The "Ascend" name has been dropped in favour of the cleaner Huawei P8 moniker, which tidies up its previously messy naming regime.
    In terms of price you're looking at €499 (around £395, $580, AU$760) for the 16GB model, or €599 (around £465, $680, AU$900) for 64GB of internal space, making the Huawei P8 comfortably cheaper than the current fleet of 2015 flagships.
    There's a 5.2-inch full HD display up front, while the metal unibody design comes in at just 6.4mm thick - making the Huawei P8 thinner than the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6.
    Picking up the P8 I found it to be well weighted, manageable in one hand and indeed it does look and feel premium.
    The slightly curved, chamfered edges provide a little extra grip, although the completely flat rear and super slim 6.4mm profile means it's not the most comfortable to hold. It does however, slip effortlessly in a pocket.
    Huawei made a point of saying how solid the aluminium unibody is on the P8, and while there's no obvious cause for concern in terms of bend-ability I look forward to seeing others applying more pressure to see if it goes the same way as the iPhone 6 Plus.
    While the Huawei P8 does sport a premium metal body, it doesn't quite match the same style and grace of the iPhone 6 or HTC One M9.
    The all metal unibody just doesn't look or feel quite as premium as its rivals - whether it's the finish Huawei has chosen to apply or use of cheaper materials, it's not clear.
    It feels like there's something still missing to really push it into the design stratosphere, but it's another positive step forward and the Huawei P8 is still a premium device.

    The metal power lock key is situated about half way down the right of the P8, in a slightly recessed dip making it easier to find when you run a finger along the edge.
    The volume rocker sits above it, while below are two trays - one for your 4G nanoSIM and one for a microSD card (up to 128GB in size) which also doubles as a second nanoSIM port.
    There are both single and dual SIM variants of the Huawei P8, so the handset you get may not have the clever second SIM functionality in the microSD bay.
    You can pick the Huawei P8 up in four colours; mystic champagne, carbon black, titanium grey and prestige gold. The champagne and grey only feature on the 16GB model while black and gold are reserved for 64GB.

    Something for you eyes

    The full HD display may not match the 2K Galaxy S6 and LG G3 in terms of resolution, but with the Sony Xperia Z3 and HTC One M9 both sporting full HD panels it's not really being left behind by the QHD crowd.
    That means it has a pixel density of 424ppi - matching the One M9, although the Xperia Z3 wins here thanks to its smaller 5-inch screen giving you 441ppi.
    It's bright, colourful and responsive making everything look clear and easy to read, and bezels have been kept to a relative minimum apart from the area of dead space below the screen.
    You'd expect to see a physical home key or some touch navigation keys here, but Huawei doesn't deal in home buttons and it's moved navigation on screen leaving a bar of blank space.
    This isn't unique to the P8 - plenty of handsets have additional space on the front - but it's surprising Huawei hasn't seen fit to even stick its logo here.
    At 5.2 inches it's on the cusp between manageable and slightly too big for one handed use, so if you have smaller palms it may be a little tricky to reach all areas of the screen.
    It doesn't break any ground, but it doesn't need to, and the display on the Huawei P8 provides a strong level of performance, allowing you to enjoy the on-screen experience.

  • LG G4 design

    The LG G4 design lives up to the many rumors that it'll be clad in premium leather, specifically vegetable tanned leather. It'll come in multiple colors too.



    Leather isn't for everyone, so other backs are available with the new smartphone including more familiar black and gold with a metallic coating and white with a ceramic coating.
    All of three of these alternative design options sport a unique hammered pattern, but have a plastic base.
    The LG G4 dimensions are 148.9 x 76.5 x 9.9mm and it sports a curved back, as seen in several press renders.


    LG G4 render
    LG's mobile chief Juno Cho has stated that the G4 will be "radically different" to anything that's come before. Those changes were originally said to include a metal casing rather than a polycarbonate one, but LG upped the elegance with a leather back.

    LG G4 screen

    LG has shown the G4's screen in a video, revealing that it has a QHD IPS Quantum Display, which is 25% brighter and has a 20% wider color range than the display on the LG G3.
    That screen had already been revealed by LG Display before it was confirmed that the LG G4 would use it, so we know it's a 5.5-inch 1440 x 2560 display.


    LG G4
    LG G4 also takes cues from the company's curved smartphones with a slight bend to its design. It's not as dramatic as the LG G Flex 2, but its should prove resourceful for screen durability.

    LG G4 camera

    An official teaser video reveals some of the G4's camera features, such as Quick Shot, which lets you take a snap by double-tapping the rear key, even if the phone is locked.


    LG G4
    There's also a Gesture Interval Shot mode, which takes four photos in a row, allowing you to choose the best to keep. Plus the camera features powerful manual controls.


    LG G4
    As for the hardware, a brand new camera module has been created that features an aperture of f/1.8, and will very likely be used in the G4, which according to LG makes it the "widest aperture camera developed for a smartphone".


    LG G4
    In plain English this means the LG G4 should be excellent at taking photographs in low light conditions, allowing 80% more light in than the LG G3, as well as less blur when taking photos of fast moving objects. You can see the results for yourself in LG's teaser video below.
    The LG G4's camera has also been boosted from the 13MP resolution of the LG G3 to 16MP on the back and from 2.1MP to 8MP on the front. The rear camera has a six-layer lens that is twice the size of the one found in the LG G3.
    An ultra-thin 0.1mm blue IR filter will also be included, to help give photos a natural look with accurate colours by blocking out infrared interference.

    LG G4 OS and power

    LG's G4 will have an all-new UX 4.0 interface to give it a more refined look as it attempts to compete with HTC Sense and Apple's obvious iOS.


    LG G4
    Among these are 'Ringtone ID', which automatically composes a custom ringtone for each contact and 'Quick Memo+', which lets you collect snippets from the web without the adverts.


    LG G4
    Other features of the newly announced UX 4.0 include a Smart Alert, which makes activity suggestions based on the weather forecast and a Smart Board, which combines information from multiple apps into a single widget.


    LG G4
    Surprisingly the LG G4 looks set to pass on the Snapdragon 810 and use the weaker Snapdragon 808 instead, if a benchmark believed to be from the LG G4 is to be believed.
    It could be true, as the 810 reportedly suffers from overheating issues, though it contradicts earlier rumors, which suggested that the LG G4 would sport a Snapdragon 810 chip. Either way, it's set to have a meaty 3GB of RAM.

    LG G4 cost

    While the LG G3 undercut rivals it looks like the same may not be true of the LG G4. South Korean carriers SK Telecom and T World Direct have it pegged at $825, which would be between the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in the US.
    Converting to pounds gives us £550 in the UK, but direct conversions rarely pan out and if anything it's likely to be slightly more than that.

  • 5 Tips to help BlackBerry make its phones cool again

    1. Don't make a slider phone

    BlackBerry sliderSlider phones are the equivalent of your dad dancing. They're taking a briefcase to school. They're dress shoes without socks. They're spinach in your teeth. They're falling over on the bus. They're realising you don't know the words when you're already singing along really loudly. They're people who make "but what about international MEN'S day" jokes. They're the worst.

    2. Make a flip phone instead

    Flip phones are back. With smartphones it's all the features all the time, but the flip phone philosophy is that less is more. Anna Wintour, arch overlord of the fashion world and Keeper Of All Things Cool, has one and 'millennials' are following suit. A sure-fire winner.

    3. Don't hire Drake again

    Even Drake gets that Drake won't be cool forever, and by the time you've finished designing and making your cool new phone, he'll be gone. Try a different Canadian. Google 'who is the coolest Canadian' and pick whoever comes up first.

    4. Make a phone with LASERS

    Lasers will never not be cool and there's probably some tie-in potential with The Force Awakens, too. Look, we've basically mapped out the entire marketing strategy here. There's really no excuse not to do this.

    5. Put a pin in the phone thing

    Have you thought about starting a band? Bands are cool.

  • Want to buy yourself a Nexus 7? It's not going to happen. Google has apparently given up on selling the 7-inch device directly to consumers, choosing instead to focus on the Nexus 9.
    But the bad news is that the larger, newer tablet isn't hitting the heights the Nexus slate managed during 2013 and 2014, with Google's earnings call confirming that the tablet isn't performing as well as its predecessor.

    In fact, both the Nexus 9 and smartphone Nexus 6 aren't selling in the same numbers that Google has hoped they would, with the search giant confirming that the loss of Nexus sales had led to a drop in revenue quarter over quarter.

    Dead but still around

    The Nexus 7 isn't technically off sale, as you can still buy it on Amazon for £165/$165 if you still fancy getting a slice of nostalgia.
    We'll warn you: while it's still getting the upgrades to Lollipop and other current Android platforms as they emerge, the performance isn't as speedy or responsive as on other tablets around right now.
    The Nexus program as a whole could surely be up for the chop if the devices don't start selling a little better. It was a bold move by Google to only marginally up the power and spec on its new smartphone and tablet and then adding a lot of cost on top – going from £229$349 for the base model Nexus 5 to £499/$649 for the lowest-priced Nexus 6.
    Will there be another Nexus device? Even if Google does make another one, it's already run out of numbers – the Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 have already been made. Nexus RIP, anyone?
