-HEAD 2 HEAD The mini superphones are here, with stunning looks, great features and powerful chipsets, all packed into a shapely, compact body. But how do these small but mighty smartphones stack up against each other?
Z1 Compact ver Sony Z1 Compact Design
Like its bigger brother, the Sony Xperia Z1, the Xperia Z1 Compact is the perfect blend of metal and toughened glass. With the patterned omni-balance design, along with IP58-certification, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is perfect for one-handed use and is the first waterproof ‘mini’ smartphone to hit the market.
Ease of use
Android 4.3 is on-board, along with Sony’s own software touches, which ensure that navigation is made simple and smooth, allowing for speedy multi-tasking.
Camera
On the rear of the handset is a massive 20.7 megapixel Exmor RS camera module, complete with LED flash. The Xperia Z1 Compact also has a dedicated shutter button meaning that capturing the moment has never been easier and, thanks to that amazing camera lens, has never looked better either. Sony has also included a host of software extras too.
Features
Not only is the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact an imaging monster but is the perfect companion for media lovers. Sony has included unique apps such as Walkman, Video Unlimited and PlayStation Mobile, allowing for the best of Sony to be found in one place. Thanks to a stunning 4.3 inch 720p HD screen, complete with Triluminos and X-Reality technologies, content has never looked better.
Power
Proving that size isn’t everything, the Xperia Z1 Compact is a true power house of a device and features the fastest processor on the market, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. This beefy quad-core chipset, coupled with 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 330GPU, allows Z1 Compact users to experience the most demanding HD games, HD movie streaming and power hungry apps with ease.
Best for
A flagship smartphone that can be used without the need for giant hands!

Z1 COMPACT VS ONE MINI-
rsus One mini HTC One Mini Design
Cut from the same cloth as the award winning HTC One smartphone, the HTC One Mini brings sheer class to the ‘mini’ market. Featuring a 4.3 inch 720p HD screen and a gorgeous aluminium unibody design, with a curved back, ensures that handling the device is a great experience.
Ease of use
A combination of Android Jelly Bean and HTC’s own Sense user interface means the HTC One Mini offers smarts and simplicity. Thanks to a beautiful and intuitive software design the HTC One Mini has something for everyone.
Camera
Rather than going for raw megapixel count, the HTC One Mini uses an innovative camera known as an UltraPixel camera. This special unit allows for amazing low-light capture alongside clear crisp imagine reproduction and, thanks to fantastic exclusives such as ZOE, the HTC One Mini is a real imaging joy.
Features
On the front of the handset is a set of stereo speakers, called BoomSound, which offer the best smartphone sound available, enhanced by the inclusion of Beats audio technology music. Want all your information in one place? BlinkFeed, HTC’s own homepage, will stream all your social networking and favourite content in one easily accessible place.
Power
With a large battery, speedy dual-core Snapdragon processor and 1GB of RAM, no task is too big for the HTC One Mini. Thanks to the addition of an Adreno 305GPU, playing your favourite games has never felt better.
Best for
Media lovers who want a touch of class from their smartphone. Free handset with all published deals. All prices accurate at time of publication

Equipped with the latest cutting edge technology, the new LG G2 is a true powerhouse smartphone that delivers greater speed in a sophisticated, slim line design. With a unique rear key button that not only allows you to

SPOTLIGHT-
spotlight
THE YEARLY CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW HAS COME AND GONE BUT WITH VARIOUS MANUFACTURERS PLYING THEIR TRADE AND SHOWCASING THE BEST IN NEW TECH, WHAT EXCITING NEW DEVICES ARE ON THE HORIZON FOR 2014?
SONY MOBILE made a big splash at CES with the announcement of its first flagship mini smartphone, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. Nearly identical to its big brother, the Sony Xperia Z1, the Xperia Z1 Compact offers a 20.7 megapixel camera, 2.2 GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a 4.3 inch HD screen, all housed in a small, waterproof body. SAMSUNG gave us a peek into the future with a demo of the first bendable AMOLED touchscreen, set to enter mass production in 2015. Samsung was not the only ones to show off flexible products as LG announced that its recently released LG G Flex would be hitting the international market this quarter. The LG G Flex features a horizontally curved 6 inch screen, 13 megapixel camera, 2GB RAM, a speedy 2.3GHz processor and a unique self-healing back cover.
Nvidia, creators of the Tegra mobile processor were also there showing off the next generation of mobile chipsets, the Tegra K1. This impressive demo showed us where mobile processing is heading and in six months’ time your smartphone could very well have more graphical muscle than the Sony PS3!
THIS YEAR IS ALREADY SHAPING UP TO BE ANOTHER GIANT STEP FORWARD IN MOBILE TECHNOLOGY, THANKS TO THE INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY OF SOME OF THE INDUSTRY’S BIGGEST MANUFACTURERS.

-SPECIAL FEATURE
Handsets for t generation MANY OF US HAVE EITHER GROWN UP WITHIN THIS TECHNOLOGICAL ERA, OR CAN JUST ABOUT ADAPT TO ITS FAST-CHANGING PACE. BUT FOR SOME, ESPECIALLY SENIOR CITIZENS, THE EVER-EVOLVING SMARTPHONE MAY JUST BE TOO MUCH. WE SHOWCASE THREE OF THE BEST HANDSETS ON THE MARKET SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO STRIP AWAY THE OVERWHELMING ARRAY OF FEATURES AND SIMPLY OFFER AN EASY-TO-USE MOBILE PHONE THAT’S ACTS, WELL, JUST LIKE A MOBILE PHONE SHOULD!
NOKIA ASHA 301
The Nokia Asha 301 yells retro Nokia. Back in the day, Nokia handsets were beautifully simple and the Asha 301 is no exception. Coming in a variety of colours, and with an attractively cheap price tag, the Asha 301 is aimed at emerging markets which makes it an attractive option for senior citizens and those wanting a more basic smartphone. It may require a little more time to get used to than the Doro PhoneEasy range, but is well worth it, and even comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera and access to compressed versions of the internet, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
HANDSETS FOR THE OLDER GENERATION-
the older
DORO PHONEEASY 607
Another simple model from Doro, the PhoneEasy 607, is slightly more feature-orientated with a flip clamshell design and a camera installed. With increased ringtone volume, for those with hearing difficulties, and an innovative A/B button system for making and taking calls with ease, this is a great all-rounder for those who want a camera phone without the bells and whistles.
DORO PHONEEASY 506
The clue is very much in the name with Doro devices. The PhoneEasy 506 handset is not only simple to use, it’s also been developed with the older person in mind and features a clear display, large buttons and extra loud, clear sounds. A great basic handset.

What is Tethering? YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF IT BEFORE BUT DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT TETHERING IS AND HOW TO DO IT? Tethering gives the user the freedom to connect to the internet through devices that would normally need a home broadband connection. So if you find yourself somewhere where there is no Wi-Fi, you can use this method to connect your tablet or laptop and carry on with your task, be it work or play.
Tethering is a term that is used to describe a method of connecting one device to another. For example, if you have a smartphone with a data plan you can share this data with a Wi-Fi tablet or laptop by creating a ‘hotspot’ and effectively allowing for the connected device to have internet access without having to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
DOES MY DEVICE HAVE TETHERING? Most modern smartphones allow tethering as a feature. Smartphones that are running on Android 2.2 upwards can do it, Apple iPhones that have iOS 4.2.5 upwards also offer this, along with most modern Windows Phone devices.
Set up Tethering on Android: 1. From the home screen select Settings. Tap ‘more’ and select Wireless & Networks. 2. In Wireless & Networks, select Tethering and Portable Hotspot. 3. Tick the box next to Portable Wi-Fi hotspot to enable tethering. 4. Next tap the Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot setting - this will allow you to edit the network name and choose your own password. 5. Open the Wi-Fi settings on the device you wish to connect to your new hotspot and search for the hotspot you have just created, enter your password and you’re in! Set up Tethering on iOS 6: 1. Open Settings and select Network and then Personal Hotspot. 2. Move the hotspot slider to On. 3. From here you can choose your connection type and change the password if needed. 4. Open the Wi-Fi settings on the device you wish to connect to your new hotspot and search for the hotspot you have just created, enter your password and you’re in! iOS 7 running devices are even easier to set up as the new operating software has quick access to this feature. Set up Tethering on Windows Phone: 1. Open the Settings app and go into the System tab, then select Internet Sharing. 2. Turn on Internet Sharing and hit Setup, which can be found at the bottom of the screen. 3. Give your new hotspot a name and create a password for it in the bottom box. 4. Open the Wi-Fi settings on the device you wish to connect to your new hotspot and search for the hotspot you have just created, enter your password and you’re in! * PRICES ARE ACCURATE AT TIME OF PRINT

The iPhon MANY OF US WILL RECOGNISE APPLE AS BEING A PIONEER IN THE WORLD OF SMARTPHONES. EVER SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT, THE IPHONE HAS BEEN A MAJOR SUCCESS GLOBALLY AND, SINCE THE IPHONE 4S, APPLE HAS MODIFIED THE PHONE EVER SO SLIGHTLY, YET STILL MANAGED TO CREATE A BUZZ WHICH RESULTS IN THE DEVICES FLYING OUT OF STORES.
IPHONE 4S
Available in 8gb, 16gb and 32gb variations, the iPhone 4s has been a massive success for Apple. Featuring a 3.5 inch screen, 8 megapixel camera, 1GHz dual-core A5 processor, as well as the voice-activated personal assistant, Siri. The 4s is still very much a high-quality piece of kit with the overall experience not too dissimilar to that of the latest iPhones.
IPHONE 5C
The iPhone 5c improved on the 5 by bringing a new A7 chip to the party with a 1.3 dual-core CPU, slightly better camera features, a brand spanking new operating system in iOS7 and increased battery life. The body is plastic and come in a range of colours rather than just the standard black and white colour variations. Dubbed the budget iPhone, the 5c still commands a premium over most smartphone alternatives.

iPhone Family-
IPHONE 5S
The current flagship, the iPhone 5s, has near identical specs to the now discontinued iPhone 5, however as with previous iterations, all the minor changes add up to successful upgrade over the previous models. The 5s was introduced alongside the 5c and so showcases the new iOS 7 operating system. The 5s however had to have some unique range topping features to warrant a heftier price tag, such as its fingerprint scanner which allows users to unlock the handset with their fingerprint… eat your heart out James Bond! The inclusion of an A7 chip makes this the first 64-bit smartphone in the world, meaning graphics are stunning and the overall phone has been supercharged in terms of speed. Of course, colour seems to be big on the agenda and so the 5s comes in grey, black, and gold! THERE IS NO DENYING THAT APPLE HAS GOT A WINNING FORMULA, AND IF YOU FANCY A CHANGE FROM YOUR ANDROID DEVICE, WE DON’T THINK YOU’LL EVER LOOK BACK!

-AROUND THE CORNER
NOKIA NORMANDY LEAKS IN LIVE PHOTO
Ever since the Nokia Lumia 800 hit the market in 2011, the Lumia range of smartphones has grown. Although very popular, thanks mainly to exceptional hardware, many people requested a Lumia device that would run Android. Well it looks as though Nokia and Android fans are about get what they wanted as a prototype for a device known as the Nokia Normandy has been leaked online. The handset is said to be running on Android KitKat 4.4.1 and features a Lumia design with a 4 inch touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera and a Qualcomm processor. The device is rumoured to be set for announcement for MWC 2014 in Barcelona.
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 SET FOR MARCH RELEASE
SONY VAIO WINDOWS PHONE IN THE WORKS
The next Samsung Galaxy smartphone is being tipped for a March release at an event in London. Originally thought to be unveiled at MWC 2014, the hotly anticipated Galaxy S5 is set to take the series in a new direction, with a new style design that is believed to include more premium materials, such as a metal frame and a curved display. There will also be a host of Samsung wizardry too, such as eye-scanning technology and new 64-bit chipsets.
With Sony going from strength-to-strength in the smartphone market, the future is looking good for the Japanese tech giant. Recent negotiations with Microsoft have led to a green light for Sony to make Windows Phone devices, the first of which is set to debut mid-2014. The brand will go under the Vaio title, which is the same as Sony’s own laptop series.
SAMSUNG DEMO 5.68 INCH FOLDABLE AMOLED DISPLAY AT CES
Samsung has already used a flexible screen in the recently released Samsung Galaxy Round, however behind closed doors in Las Vegas the Korean giant has taken it one step further by showcasing a foldable display that can bend in two. The display itself won’t be going into mass production until 2015, but when it does we may finally see a smart watch that can turn into a fullsized smartphone with the flick of a button.
