Ok, so maybe not quite budget phones, but they are definitely in the super category. These two phones have been out for quite a while now, and as such you can get both on quite reasonable contracts, and even for quite respectable sim only prices too (respectable in relation to other phones of course). Both have also been somewhat overtaken by newer handsets brought out by these two manufactures (more HTC than Samsung to be honest). Samsung have the more powerful Galaxy Note, whilst HTC have the Sensation XE. Both great upgrades in terms of specs, but with an additional premium on the cost as a result.

Christmas is coming, and if you are on the lookout for a top level android phone at a decent price, you might be thinking about either of these handsets, so to help you out I’ve put together a comparison of the main features these phones provide.

Android seems to be taking over the world right now, with good reason to.  Everywhere you turn from mobile phone stores, department stores and even supermarkets you can get your hands on some form of Android device.  I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I love.  The one thing I was missing was a tablet that offered me the flexibility that I craved, my iPad2 which I have to admit is a awesome bit of hardware falls somewhat short in many areas.

There has been quite a lot of discussion around which android phone has the best camera. You might just quote the one with the most MP, but that really isn’t a true measure of what makes a good mobile phone camera. We’ve tested out the Samsung Galaxy SII camera, with what we think is an appropriate subject matter!

Samsung have kindly sent me out one of their more modest android phones (when comparing to the great Galaxy SII that is), the Samsung Galaxy Pro. You might guess at who this phone is aimed towards from the name given to the phone, but if you need a slightly bigger hint just take a look at the device itself!

Well, along with the Eee Pad Transformer, I also splashed out on the Samsung Galaxy S II yesterday! This phone is fantastic, its sooo light (you’ll notice my surprise further down), the screen is one of hte best, if not the best I’ve ever seen on a phone, and it literally flies thanks to the dual core 1.2Ghz cpu inside!

An unboxing of this beast is below for your personal pleasure!

So I picked up the Asus Eee Pad Transformer 16GB WiFi tablet yesterday from Carphone Warehouse. First impressions of the tablet are great, the screen is really bright and vibrant and honeycomb speeds along. The build is also very nice! I’ll be getting a review up once I’ve had a chance to really put it throught its paces!

In the meantime I recorded an unboxing video, bear in mind this is my first attempt so they will get better!

The HTC Wildfire is a very nice looking phone, styled after the very successful HTC Desire it could almost be it’s little brother. However, looks are where the similarity between these phones both begins and ends. Check out the full review for our thoughts on this budget handset from the Taiwanese HTC.
