It’s safe to say, mobile phones are a huge part of everyday life. Whether you are sitting at a bus stop, a coffee shop or even at home surrounded by the family, you are sure to see someone glued to a screen. They are a vital lifeline for a lot of people, many people will not even be able to even remember a time before they came along! But what is often overlooked is the environmental impact of the production of a Phone. How much does it really cost to produce a brand-new device for you to scroll through Instagram, and how can buying used phones help offset this?
Unless you have been completely cut off from the outside world, you have probably gotten wind of the upcoming OnePlus Nord. The hype for this device has been unlike any other mobile phone recently released. But what was the hype about, and after the announcement on 21/07/20, was it justified?

Are you finding that your iPhone battery is just about lasting you from sun-up to sundown? This is quite a common issue in recent years as smartphones cannot go a few days on one charge like they could a decade ago.

In this article we will highlight some of our favorite hacks to help save your Apple iPhone’s battery throughout the day.
At last night’s Apple WWDC20, we learnt so much about what’s to come in Apples next generation of tech. Here’s a quick run through of what we gained from the event…

2020 has been a tough year for everyone. With Coronavirus at the forefront of everyone’s mind, people are finding themselves isolated indoors. With the use of video chat programmes booming so that people can stay in touch, tablet usage has soared. This article will list a breakdown of our most popular tablets of 2020 (so far) so you can ensure you are buying the most suitable tablet for you. So without further ado, let's take a look at the list!
To tackle COVID-19 nationally, the government are looking into ways we can Test, Track and Trace the virus, so we can manage and eventually eradicate it fully. Among other strategies, contact tracing is seen as one of the key remedies to help the UK remove itself from lockdown and above all, save lives.
Officials also hope the new tracing tool will dramatically slow the transmission of coronavirus by tracking each and every case of it, and in turn, minimising the probability of a second infection wave. The 'NHS COVID-19’ tracing app is one of the government’s next big areas of focus, after beginning trials of the app on the Isle of Wight early this month, ready for roll-out in the coming weeks.
With the Coronavirus sparking uncertainty in just about all areas of the world right now, we understand why some people are nervous to start combatting the virus using new, unknown methods such as the 'NHS COVID-19’ app. However, by the time you finish reading this article we hope you’ll have gained more understanding about what the app is and how safe your data will be.
With COVID-19 putting our lives on hold in these difficult times, we all know how important it is to stay home, protect the NHS and save lives. After hearing that the Government is looking to launch a tracking app to help control the pandemic here in the UK, it’s got us all thinking more positively about the current situation and how we can help. The fundamental purpose of the app is to alert the user if they come into near contact with other users who may be displaying symptoms. This is done via Bluetooth and is called contact tracing.
Currently, with the current Coronavirus pandemic, cleanliness and hygiene is of the utmost importance. Everyone needs to be careful of their environment, and there’s usually one thing that people use constantly, but neglect to clean. Their mobile devices!
As we draw close to the end of March, you can be forgiven for feeling like the month has gone on for a lifetime, seeing how much the world is dealing with. One thing that is remaining constant throughout this turbulent time though, is new mobile phone announcements. We will take a look at the notable upcoming releases for the remainder of March.
The latest Redmi phone is due for release on March 24th. This device is supposed to have a 60Hz AMOLED display, 2 64MP rear cameras and a Snapdragon 865 chipset. It’s strongly rumoured to even contain 5G connectivity and an in-screen fingerprint scanner.
As we all know, the World Health Organisation have now declared COVID-19 (or Coronavirus) a global pandemic. At 4Gadgets we are taking this situation extremely seriously, and we want our customers to know we are taking precautionary steps to ensure we are operating as safely as possible. We have put together a guide for our customers to give you as much information as possible as we try to navigate this tricky period.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the first foldable phone to be released in 2020, with a 6.7-inch display that folds in half. Although this is not the first foldable phone that Samsung has released the Galaxy Z Flip is a very different concept from the Galaxy Fold.
The new releases from Samsung are a great leap from the S10 released back in February last year. With 5G becoming a lot more appealing for the public the Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Ultra will be the first 5G phone for a lot of people.
The Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra are being unveiled on the rapidly arriving release date, Tuesday February 11th. This is all part of Samsung’s ‘Unpacked’ event, where these new devices will be released to the public. There’s also rumours of a fourth ‘foldable’ device, which is being compared to the new Motorola Razr's design.
