Motorola Motosmart review

The Motorola Motosmart has an alluringly cheap price but plodding performance means it's unlikely to be anyone's first choice. Read more

LG Optimus L3 review

The LG Optimus L3 is very cheap on pay as you go, but its tiny low-res screen will never let you forget exactly how little you spent on it. Read more

Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 review

The Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 is light on features and not very powerful but as a cheap first-time smart phone it's charmingly basic. Read more

Samsung Galaxy Pro review

The Samsung Galaxy Pro's keyboard is undeniably fantastic but, otherwise, this Android phone is disappointing, with its screen being particularly poor. Its low price and half-decent camera are some compensation, but there are better phones to be had. Read more

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 review

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 feels out of date, and its custom user interface doesn't suit it. It's not terrible, but there are better cheap Android smart phones. Read more

LG Optimus One P500 review

The LG Optimus One P500 smart phone packs plenty of punch, offering all the joys of Android 2.2 at a rock-bottom price. We just wish LG's tweaks to Android didn't look so clumsy. Read more

Samsung Galaxy Apollo GT-i5801 review

If you can't afford a high-end Android smart phone, the cheaper Galaxy Apollo GT-i5801 is definitely worth a perusal instead. It runs version 2.1 of Android, offers a responsive capacitive touchscreen, and trumps most of the competition when it comes to battery life. Consider us impressed Read more
