Mobile Choice was a long-running UK magazine covering reviews, news and opinions on mobile phones, tablets, apps and accessories. The first issue came out in November 1996, and it was published bi-monthly by Noble House Media, which was based in London. Mobile Choice celebrated its 200th issue in March 2013.
In April 2016, Mobile Choice was bought by Future plc and in March 2017 the decision was made to cease publication of the magazine and updates to its website.
The 100-page magazine had a news section, in-depth independent reviews and features, how-to guides and each issue came with a buying guide of over 150 phones, as well as an archive of past mobile phone reviews.
The magazine's last editor was Sunetra Chakravarti (now editor at The European Information Security Summit).
Previous editors included:
Natasha Stokes Mike Shaw (now head of content at Direct Line Group) Huw Morgan (now Director, Internal Communications, VCCP Group)
