So incase you havent heard of the drama yet, earlier this month, Microsoft made a pretty decent YouTube app for Windows Phone 8 but Google has issues with it because it did not show advertising and allowed users to download videos from YouTube, which is a strict no-no. Now Google themselves have stated officially that they're not going to make official apps for Windows Phone, so Microsoft's app was the only ...

Looks like Microsoft is keen to resurrect the ol' Mac vs PC war, though this time it's more like iOS vs Windows 8 with their new commercial which attacks Apple's iPad, bringing Siri along to help them in the cause. In the commercial, Microsoft highlights Windows 8 and it's various features such as Live Tiles, and Powerpoint, along with the $449 price of the 64GB ASUS' VivoTab Smart tablet, ignoring any stre ...

After months of having a mobile app that was just a bookmark to the YouTube mobile website, Microsoft updated the YouTube for Windows Phone app to finally bring it up to par (ish) with, well, what you'd expect a YouTube app to be like. Unfortunately though, the Microsoft-made app came under fire for not adhering to some of Google's policies, such as the lack of advertisements and how the Windows Phone app a ...

We all know Nokia is the king when it comes to mobile phone cameras. They have always led the mobile world with stellar camera phones like the Nokia N73, N82, N93i, N95, N86 8MP, N8, 808 PureView and now with their Nokia Lumia 920, 925 and the 928. But these have all been, for want of a more apt word, flagship devices of their time. If you wanted a smartphone with a very good camera, you more or less had to ...

We've seen some of these images last week in Nokia's blog post and we did our own quick comparison of the Lumia 925 vs the HTC One, but Nokia UK also uploaded their comparison images of the Nokia Lumia 925's camera vs the competition over on their Flickr, so that you can really see what a huge difference the new camera in their latest Windows Phone is, in terms of low light image quality. The Nokia Lumia 92 ...

Here's a quick, fun new commercial for the Xenon-flash equipped Verizon Nokia Lumia 928, entitled just simply "#takebetterphotos".

Need more sensor pictures! ...

We've already done a quick camera comparison between the new Nokia Lumia 925 vs the HTC One, a test which turned out to be greatly in the Lumia 925's favour. This was pretty impressive because last month we put the HTC One against the Nokia Lumia 920 and the results were pretty debatable, with both smartphones doing a pretty good job of handling low light. The Lumia 925 however, seems to be in an entirely d ...
