Top 10 Smartphones
HTC One (Multiple Carriers)
The curved aluminum HTC One isn't just the most attractive Android phone yet, it packs a quad-core processor, a fantastic low-light camera and booming stereo speakers. You can even use this device as a TV remote.

It would be nice to see this in a table format comparing all the different phones and their features.
3g, 4g, size, weight, flash media, battery life etc.
It would also be great to see what the phones cost without a subscription. How much to own the phone and not be locked into a contract.
June 22nd, 2011 at 9:29 am
Are you serious? How can you say the iPhone is better than the thunderbolt or the EVO! Is Apple paying you salary? Just saying… the techies all know Android rocks over Apple.
June 28th, 2011 at 9:09 am
Stopped viewing the data after two screen redraws. I will not use a site like this that forces me to watch an ad every time the screen redraws. If you want to coax users to your website – provide the content as if I were a subscriber. Forcing me to waste the time trying to watch it (and now to make this comment) means that I won’t be back – in this day and age you get one shot – do it right.
I won’t be back.
July 30th, 2011 at 9:26 pm
it would be better when there is Nokia 9300 displayed among smart phones
August 2nd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
You gotta be kidding me. Force-Closes? Fragmented Operating Systems? This is basically top phones sold, not top performing phones as Windows Phones would clearly be the winner here or runner up to Apple. Hell I get 3 days of use out of my HD7 compared to almost a full day with my HTC EVO. And wait, I dont ever remembering having to force close an app or one crashing or better yet rebooting my phone. I file insurance claims for cellular carriers and I can tell you, Android has some problems. My tiles on my home screen change in real-time while your little icons do nothing but remind you Google has got yo a$$!
August 10th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
what the hell is up with all those forced advertising pop-ups with no choice of canceling/deleting/closing !!? This is a horrible viewing/browsing experience….Now, 8 best smartphones with the iphone 4 listed twice?? really?? You could have replaced one of them with the SGSII or HTC Sensation IMHO…
August 10th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
What is this list??????? Galaxy S and Galaxy S 2 isn’t on here??????
Ya. American carriers sucks ass. Can’t get one of the best selling Android phones 4 MONTHS after it launched…
I’ve been importing all my phone since i could remember…. fucking american carriers…..
August 14th, 2011 at 12:29 pm
Are you serious? Where is the photon? Best phone on sprint our probably any carrier today period.
August 16th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Dil,
its not the carriers fault for not getting the GS2, its stupid Apple and the patent troll lawyers suing everyone to prevent competition. boooo Apple you suck. itunes sucks also.
I agree with frustrated. you are gonn make us watch this stupid ad every page turn and the add at the bottom of the page. really, I wont be back either.
August 16th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Ok whats up with the forced ad everytime i want to view a page. Where is the samsung S series of phones? Iphone??? Really??? Ok. note to self, done return to laptopmag.com , ever.
September 27th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Galaxy S II has been added to our Top 10 list…we were waiting for U.S. version
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 pm
what a sexy design.. but i’m waiting for iPhone 5. it’s more futuristic.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:34 am
None of this is as slim and elegant as the Xperia Arc S! Best design out there.
November 20th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Absolutely a waste of time to read. Where is any phone with a Windows 7 OS? Everyone that I know who had an iPhone who switched over has said it is much better. Today these editors are old school and not up on technology changes.
November 21st, 2011 at 5:58 am
You gotta be kidding me.
First of all – they pulled out the classic – “iPhone 5 as #1, because Apple rocks, its transcendental touchscreen with the astounding camera…”
And why is the Samsung Galaxy S down there? Where’s the HTC Evo? Where’s all the reality?
Come on, it’s time to wake up. No more ephemeral fantasies about the “perfect, infallible” Apple fruitphone.
November 21st, 2011 at 4:43 pm
“Yeah Well, thatsl like, your opinion man”.-The Dude
No one will ever agree on a cell phone. Everyone lives in different situations, monetarily what they can afford and also where they live because it affects connections and connection speeds. I live out in mountainous country and literally in a cell phone dead zone, we actually just got cell service at my house and the surrounding areas about 3 weeks ago! So for me I still have an old school samsung flip phone. It does what I need.
After doing some research, if I was to buy a smart phone right now, I would go with the Samsung Galaxy X2 or the Nexus Prime when it comes out in the USA. But everyone differs on that. Thats why it seems so silly that people on here get so worked up over it. Really what they need to start fixing is the plans that they offer and the deals and accessories that come with the phones. That is how you could really knock them all out of the park and become the #1 cell phone company–give people a cheap fair plan that actually makes it worth it for them to use your product.
November 22nd, 2011 at 10:42 am
Haha. I love the way all of the apple haters came here to give out to whoever made the article. Nice one guys, giving everyone else a bad name!
November 24th, 2011 at 3:41 am
You know what’s amazing? This site suddenly having reviews. How come the Samsung attack fanboys article never got one wonders me. Anyway, I’d put the Lumia 800 on number 1. Gotta love that sexiness.
November 26th, 2011 at 4:47 am
Mary, even if the techies like Andriod over iPhone, its the users who matter most as any business can tell you. And users prefer iPhones by a mile! And btw is Android paying you money?
November 29th, 2011 at 7:45 am
Again the mindless masses must bow down before the altar of apple and kiss apples butt.Android phones are a a thing of beauty to watch it develop each new issure. What has apple done,just stick it you.You have to use everything thats branded apple or esle.
December 3rd, 2011 at 6:44 am
attention pls:
comparing HTC and Iphone 4S.., which one is best..? pls suggest.. which one i should go for..?
December 9th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
Firts time on this site & the last. Review on phone sucks! Why is that phone better? CPU? Megapixels on cams? Resolution? You like the OS? Is this your opinion based on looks or sells? I could do a better review than that sorry man & having to close an add just to look at a bigger picture of a phone with no details?
January 9th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
really!!!??? A fu–cking pop up ad everytime i try to see the next phone on the list. Forget it!!!
January 10th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Pop up sucks… iPhone is old hat man… get a real life…
January 14th, 2012 at 7:39 am
I like the HTC designs. They are sleek and sexy. The screen is just too sensitive though.
January 27th, 2012 at 6:22 am
one of the best, the korean giant “SAMSUNG”…., SO SLEEK…(*_*)
February 5th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Really, how the f does the iphone make the list of top 10? maybe top 20. Whats with the adds? Is this site owned by a hebrew? This site is crap. SKIP
March 4th, 2012 at 7:14 am
OUCH!!!! HATERS IN FULL FORCE!!!!! No, but seriuosly, I totally lLUV mau Samsung INFUSE, wouldn’t trade it for anything except newer version… why doesn’t it ever get reveiwed. and I agree this sight SUCKS cus it’s all about the ads… so I wonder how many of your paying ad customers are reading the comments? Prob find out when they stop sending the checks…. If you don’t crash and burn first, u may learn that the we the public WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE to skip the pop-up and spam sites…………….. BIG FAT “UNLIKE” HAHAHAHAHBLAHAHAHAHAHA
March 4th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
Apple iPhone 4S is definitely my dream phone!
March 13th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Really? iPhone4s number 1? no sorry, that is old news. I dont know how a windows phone 7 is last? Any windows 7 phone is better than the iPhone
March 23rd, 2012 at 9:31 am
Why would anyone waste money on an iphone? I have owned them all and broke most of them. itunes is what makes the iphone SUCK. If it weren’t for that i’d like the iphone. Windows phones suck simply because microsoft SUCKS. Android seems to be the best bang for your buck. As well as the most geek friendly. I sent this from a samsung Infuse Which can do way more crap for FREE YES FREE that any iphone ever could. Theres what I think. Suck it.
March 24th, 2012 at 1:54 am
mervtheperv hit the nail on the head……….ouldn’t agree with him more. Bravo Merv !
March 24th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
The RAZR turned off. I bought it brand new, and less than 30 days old, it just turned off. I did not drop or abuse it, all I did was pickl it up. It sounds crazy I know, but it just turned off. What a waster. The sad part is I really loved the phone, great features and clarity. Now I wish I had got the Iphone, at least it works.
March 24th, 2012 at 5:07 pm
Funny how so many hate apple. If it weren’t for Jobs and the iphone, none of you would have a smart phone to compare. Apple invented the smartphone and everybody else copied them. Personally, I love everything apple, most trouble free products I’ve ever encountered, so much better than PC based stuff.
March 28th, 2012 at 12:20 am
only one Windows Phone? bs, Windows Phone is by far the best mobile OS I’ve ever used… and this is coming from someone who owned both a galaxy nexus and iphone 4…
March 28th, 2012 at 9:22 am
Apple invented the first smartphone? Are you serious? It can only be a joke!
In 2007, when Apple introduced the first Iphone, many makers were producing smartphones for more than 10 years.
For me the Android/Iphone choice is similar to the PC/Mac choice.
Apple is probably a good choice for the non technical oriented people.
Android is a good choice if you want more freedom, if you want to customize your phone, configure it the way you like, the way you are.
Android gives you a larger choice of designs too, you can select the size you need. Some likes small handy phones, some bigger screens to read more easily and have better control in typing.
Android will give a choice of different hardwares, allowing you to choose smartphones with higher performances than an Iphone4s (but sometimes more expensive than an Iphone4s), to lower end models, much cheaper, if your budget is limited.
April 9th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Xperia ARC the best overall smartphone design ever, your ranking really is wrong.
April 9th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
i notice, HTC , is listed no where on this list….lol, cuz they suck ass, ATT sent me an HTC as a replacement phone cuz my Sony Xperia was stoken, and they we.aot of stock on the Xpetia , so sent this ……itthe biggest piece of shit iv ever seen…the question is , what good anoit iy, cuz there too much to list , whats wrong with it…..HTC SUCKS ASS!!!
May 13th, 2012 at 6:17 am
Samsung Galaxy Note is the eventual winner. It has uniqueness that everything else has never imagined of…Note rocks!!!
May 18th, 2012 at 2:24 am
andI’m using an HTC one s right now and I couldn’t be more pleased with It’s super fast performance.(thanks to the dualcore processors) it has the best camera I’ve ever seen on s phone, with tons of features and settings as well. 1080p video recording, that you can also take a snap shot in the middle of recording. Uses beats audio enhancements, which sounds amazing in my really expensive headphones. Screenhas pretty impressive resolution to it. And last but not least I can make a phone call with it. I’ve had 3 smartphones, all of them HTC AND all of then were great. I know why the one is on there,… Because its tits!
May 20th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
LOL @ all the above commenters that aren’t smart enough to block pop-ups. These are the same people who think the iPhone rules. I guess it’s part of the dumbing-down of America. My Galaxy S2 runs circles around the iPhone and most of the phones on this list.
May 21st, 2012 at 8:08 am
Hey guys , y u ppl underestimate an iphone ,u should shut up if u dont know any thing about iphone …… And its secrets
May 26th, 2012 at 10:34 am
Dave,
Apple has never created new technology. Neither the ipad or the iphone were innovative in any way other than making a device user friendly to the average idiot. I was using smartphones many years before Jobs got involved.
May 27th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Why did u diced to make iphone number one? i dont think so iphone is the best
specially with itunes it sucks .
June 1st, 2012 at 1:28 pm
stay away from the HTC One S!!!
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:19 pm
i got my first iphone about a year and a half ago. it is the iphone4
i loved it at first.
then the problems started like not being able to change the battery
or increasing the memory by replaceing the memory chip
and i can’t hear anyone on the phone unless i use a bluetooth
i took the phone back to apple about this problem many times and they said the phone was fine.
i have excellent hearing and i still can’t hear anyone on the phone with out the bluetooh.
i also had a huge problem finding a bluetooth that was compatable with with the iphone
as a mater of fact i had to buy and return 9 bluetooths before i found one that was compatable with the iphone4
and the ear peace is very uncomfortable .
unless there are huge changes to the next iphone i will be going back to verizon and there line of phones.
June 14th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Samsung galaxy note is the best ever smartphone.
June 29th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
If you don’t believe in Apple iPhone, then you are a pagan!
June 30th, 2012 at 2:38 am
iphones suck enough said
July 6th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Once again, I don’t see MY smartphone here which is a phenomenal piece of equipment! 4G..LTE…HD graphics which are stunning…8mp camera on baord that takes incredible pictures, and ease of use is only some of what makes me think my LG-P930 is at least as good as those you listed here. Seems like you should talk to consumers using the phones, instead of just going over sales figures.
July 8th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
brand fans will always be brand fans, those of us who are unique dont need to be told what to buy and sales figures dont sway us, HTC owner since 1998
July 9th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
HTC Titan II rules. All bow down before it.
July 10th, 2012 at 8:15 am
Motorola is junk. I’ve owned them and got rid of them as soon as I poosibly could. It’s hard to take this “article” seriously. And JonSnowden – keep your idiotic racist comments to yourself.
July 11th, 2012 at 1:39 pm
Where is the Samsung Galaxy s2 ? You can’t just leave it of the liat. After all it was the top grossing smartphone of last year.
July 18th, 2012 at 7:39 pm
Wtf a windows phone that high??? No side load and android and iphone with sealed battery! My galaxy note run’s beautiful on ice cream sandwich I gave up on windows mobile after 6.1 how much did the carriers pay for the free advertising? What about the international phones that blow away the junk that we have here that the carriers try to force us to buy?
September 8th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
Dave… Ur an idot. Apple did not invent smartphone because HTC created smartphones before the term smartphone existed. Not favoring HTC
Because I like any phone that is good and apple may be ok but it’s not good world wide eg: siri can only find businesses in America. Not good for anyother country. You can download assisstant on android market and it will do the same but find things everywhere. Also iPhone is a relay weak phone unlike phones like the Samsung xcover. And honestly I’ve never tried any windows phone …yet so that cpuld be something but i don’t know.
September 21st, 2012 at 4:33 am
I shake my head over and over at the childish comments. I have a hard time knowing that you are adults.
Go To Your Room!
September 23rd, 2012 at 7:57 pm
Galaxy s3 and lumia 920 is so better
I’m considering buying either over iphone 4s
or I might buy the lumia 920 with Qi wireless charging and windows phone 8
October 7th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
JUST HAVE ONE THING TO SAY
ALL YOUR PEOPLE NEED TO GET A LIFE
WELL TWO. AMERICAN CARRIERS DO SUCK
October 7th, 2012 at 8:04 pm
Did you guys thinks bb10 would not be relise again all of you that thinks bb is nothing would see fire on galaxylll or iphone keep watching for king bb to come?
October 16th, 2012 at 4:24 am
what about the xperia ion??(much better than iphone 5)
October 23rd, 2012 at 3:59 pm
@Dave. Apple didn’t invent the smartphone. Ever heard of a Palm Treo? Original Blackberry? C’mon dude. That’s like saying Apple invented the mp3 player without ever seeing a 16MB Diamond Rio. The first smartphones were hybrids of PDA’s.
November 16th, 2012 at 5:29 am
I know sumsung GS3 is better then Iphone but i prefert to keep my Iphone,whay???? I don’t now (whether magic)
November 27th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
Android > iPhone. PERIOD. anyone else that says Apple is better obviously doesn’t know anything about technology and simply follows the ‘HYPE”.
Android runs on Linux.
Need i say more?
December 2nd, 2012 at 11:03 am
@ Confidence I am not exactly sure how being Pagan is a bad thing. Or how it even relates to the iPhone. Being Pagan is great!
The iPhone will always suck, come on a “smartphone” that had to dumb it down for the masses? What a joke. Then once they have you hooked they really got you by the balls cause then you have to buy their music from iTunes, their apps, only their accessories. They have no expandable memory, so you’re having to either buy the phone with the larger memory and spending more money. Or dumping things all the time. No iPhone for me ever thanks, I may be Pagan, but I am no idiot.
December 18th, 2012 at 12:23 am
I’m torn between these phones. I’m on AT&T and both are ripe for 4GLTE, but I’ve heard Samsung makes phones that are impervious to water. Does anyone know this is true or just a rumor? I have a hair salon in San Francisco and my phone is always around water.
January 1st, 2013 at 12:38 pm
I’m JUMPING into Smartphone Land and trying my luck on phone that…. hold on to your pants..IS NOT ON THIS “ALL KNOWING” LIST. There are so many smart phones to cater to so many different needs, it almost makes you crazy. I guess the only way to really know first hand is to just try one out.
January 5th, 2013 at 10:06 pm
HTC is nowhere on the list? There are three up there… Everybody has opinions. I’ve had the original Motorola Droid, HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Galaxy S3 and now the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The SG3 is an absolutely incredible phone. I paid full retail and don’t regret it for a second. Used my upgrade option six months later and got the SG Note 2. I didn’t think anything could top the SG3 but the Note 2 does. I have never had a more feature rich, smoother operating phone in my life. Just so all the Apple fans know, my job passes those phones out to us. My original Moto Droid makes that thing seem clunky. It seems years behind my SG3 and SG Note 2. It’s a nice change to see Laptop Mag not just saying Apple is best because it says Apple on it.
January 6th, 2013 at 6:40 am
Seriously, no WP8 phones up there? I’m out-performing my friends iPhones and (most) Androids with just the HTC 8X, and from what I hear the Lumia 920 has a little more power, though without the ultrathin design. 4g, the sleekest and speediest mobile OS, massive screen and gorilla glass 2.0, this thing is a beast. Why aren’t any Windows Phones listed?!
January 9th, 2013 at 11:40 am
need to say:
Hater and lovers as well as reviewers shouldn’t rate phones trough design correctly as it’s
qpretty much everyone matter of choice and so on….
what matters is usability, hardware, customization….
I don’t give a f about others just my experience:
IOS
-simple, no chance to make bigger software changes even jailbroken, i tunes sucks,
getting boring, I phone you phone everybody iphone.
best apps are not free.just rather buy ipodz
winphone-
yes microsoft didn’t made it customization friendly as well as no chance to touch file system (unless you went trough diy-nuclear-bomb like process of flashing custom
firmware), simple but sucks at all
androidOS-
batery life sucks a bit (except droid maxx and few more),
good for everyone but…1 thing…..ROOT IT…
THAN YOU GET
CUSTOMIZATION BEHIND POSSIBILITIES,
PAID APPS FOR FREE,
multiwindow,
dual boot (2systems in 1device)
many more….
just think and you find winner…
Imho
January 19th, 2013 at 2:36 am
Nothing much to say . GALAXY NOTE 2 (N7100) is da best.. Samsung rocks n Apple seriously suckss…….
January 24th, 2013 at 2:03 pm
Heyy! Where the $$$$ is the Sony Xperia Z ??

Why IPhone rules..
• Apple has a commanding lead over all other smart phone platforms with more
than 700,000 apps on the App Store.
• While there are lots of casual games for Android, there’s nowhere near the
momentum of iPhone
• On the iPlatform, kids’ apps are very high quality — and in the Android Market
they’re almost totally nonexistent.
• Music, photos and movies For people who own their own music and movies, it’s
unparalleled
• the iPhone has the most cooking apps of all
• the iPhone’s push notifications are particularly suited to flight updates
• The iPhone has very deep integration with Twitter and Facebook, making it easy
to post status updates to either
• the “retina” display, which is a screen that is theoretically so pixel-dense that the
human eye cannot detect individual pixels, it’s one of the sharpest displays on the
planet
• App Store was very popular, and achieved over one billion downloads in the first
year, and 15 billion by 2011
• Smartphone Customer Satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates
Manufacturer Score
Apple 2010 810, #1
Apple 2011 838, #1
• August 2011 there were no known malware or spyware apps in Apple’s App Store
• Which smart phone has the best camera? The iPhone without a doubt. Even people
with Android phones always say that the iPhone has a better camera.
• pcmag.com: We crown the iPhone 5 speed king after pitting it against every other
iPhone we’ve tested, along with today’s top Android phones. “The iPhone 5 looks to

I have been exploring for a little for any high-quality articles or blog posts in this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this site. Reading this info So i’m glad to show that I’ve an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed. I so much no doubt will make certain to don?t omit this web site and give it a look regularly.

Hey hey hey…You guys forgot about the Hd puremotion display and camera? Which owned the Nokia Lumia 920?With the newest os windows 8. Come on guys first check it out then you will knw whats the meaning of Nokia
March 26th, 2013 at 3:05 pm
I think the people who are unhappy with this top ten list need to stop acting like teenagers fighting over a football team and instead write their own top ten lists on their own blogs.
April 4th, 2013 at 11:43 am
I just got a Samsung Note II. I have not had this much interest in something I bought since I bought the new VW Beetle first year it was out. It works beautifully.
April 7th, 2013 at 1:53 am
Z10 all the way for me. Faster browser than iphone5 and galaxy sIII. I have actually never met someone with a Windows Phone to do a test with but I would be surprised if it beat my phone. Fastest browser in the world, including desktop browsers chrome, safari etc. Never lags, 2 gigs of ram let’s me run circles around iphone when it comes to actually accomplishing tasks. I know everyone here thinks BlackBerry is dead, but before you head off into the sunset give the z10 a look. It’s the best piece of tech I have ever bought.
Now excuse me, have to go return my Mac mini I7 that has never worked properly. Apple is going down hill fast
April 7th, 2013 at 5:00 pm
Very impressed with Z10: fantastic UX and UI. Very efficient experience and lag free. Highly recommeded.
April 8th, 2013 at 2:00 am
Just as a side note. For your #10 (Google Nexus 4) you have a picture of a MOTXT907W (Droid Razr M – White) may want to grab the correct photo.
April 10th, 2013 at 9:28 am
Where’s sony experia? Thats a great phone!!
April 10th, 2013 at 9:39 pm
One of the key selling points of the iPhone is the fact the screen is the size it is, why would I want a phone that has the same size screen as a tablet and doesn’t fit in my pocket?
April 11th, 2013 at 6:21 am
BlackBerry Z10 is definitely my dream phone!!!Because its price is dream for me to buy that phone….
April 12th, 2013 at 1:29 am
Iphone 5 rocks !!! Just because you dont see see colorful screen that it is old.
Talking about the Samsung, it is all about increasing the Size that’s all. Just make use of ur full memory samsung has to offer then u will see why samsung s*cks monkey balls.
HTC is a burning b*tch beacuse they r only made for Polar bears and not for Homosapiens….
And wait till u see the Samsung change their headphone designs(obviously copying the Apple).
April 18th, 2013 at 1:14 pm
I would love to get a BB Z10. The only problem is after 4 years of using a Palm Pre’ that runs WEB-OS which could have thrashed anything out there if HP did not bail on it and continued to improve on it, I don’t want another Orphan Smart Phone.
I have used IPhone’s and honestly I am not impressed. In my opinion it is a device that is made mostly for the Mundanes. If you like a locked phone that Big Brother has full control over and like the clunkiness of the OS, then by all means get an IPhone.
In Apple’s defense, I do have to say the hardware build is beautiful and they do offer a good user experience but after using WEB-OS, IOS just does not flow as smoothly as I think it should. My 4 year old Palm is slow and the hardware is horrible but the operation is smooth.
So now I am left to make a decision for a new device and even as much as I like the Z10, so far it looks like it will be left in the dust.
My only other choice right now is the Samsung Galaxy S4. I will take a good look at it when it is released.
Until then it is just me and my Pre’.
April 20th, 2013 at 5:18 am
Al phones are awesome i am currently using galaxy SIII , smart touch phones with big screen displays are the ones a lot of people prefer using. Now Samsung S4 is coming i am waiting this too….
April 25th, 2013 at 3:05 pm
I’m wondering why the picture in the review of the HTC One is not of a HTC One? (Maybe it’s some prototype from last year??) Now that I have one in my hand I have to say it’s by far the best looking, feeling, sounding and operating smartphone I’ve ever seen.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:24 pm
Apple is a smart phone that… somehow lacks features these days.
People tgink that apple is better… guess what it isnt. Apple just got a
Name… but one day apple will fall… samsung, sony , htc, lg. Etc. Are way better
Smart phone… apple uses ios and its so simple…but it has few features unlike
Thise other smart phone
April 30th, 2013 at 5:39 am

I have had 2 Androids and 2 iPhones. Here are my conclusions. The iPhone is the definite winner in my eyes because it is just so well designed. It doesn’t have the best screen resolution or the fastest CPU. What it does have is the ultimate combination of everything right down to a science. You cannot compare one phone model to a whole operating system, as is commonly done. The Android phones that I had were of inferior design to the iPhone, the screen was inferior, and the battery life was shameful; not to mention the cheap feel plastic everywhere. I was originally an Android fan because I just looked at the specs, but the specs don’t tell the whole story. For example, the battery capacity of an iPhone 4 is a little less than that of an Samsung Galaxy 4G. Owning both those phones I can tell you that the battery in the iPhone lasts literally twice as long. The other thing about the iPhone is that it is the best designed phone out there. Try to compare any of the competition to the sleek all glass and metal construction of the iPhone 5. No phone comes even close. The display might not have the most pixels, but it has the best color reproduction and is pixelated enough to the point where you cannot see the pixels even if you look really hard and close at it. The accessories available for the iPhone also far surpass those of any of the hundredths of Androids. The App Store also has more apps than the Android’s Google Play. I do like the fact that Android gives you way more freedom when it comes to customizing and personalizing your device on the software level. That being said I have to say that in my opinion the iPhone, regardless of specs, is king. It is the nicest and best designed single phone on the market. At about 34% market share of all phones sold this is very significant. Android wins in that category with a score of about 50%, but Android is scattered over hundreds of devices and no single one will have the quality of the iPhone. I am biased towards iPhones, but that is after owning 2 Androids before. Androids tend to be glitchy, as each phone manufacturer puts their own skin on the OS, and will drain your battery in half the time of a comparable iPhone, especially with minimal usage. One other thing to consider with Android is that it is an open source OS created by Google. Google pays lots of money to create this “free” OS but it tracks everything that you do, what you buy, where you go, etc through that OS since it is an advertising company that makes their money with personally tailored ads. Apple has no interest in collecting your personal data for marketing and advertising reasons; it just adds the cost of the development of the iOS to the phone price. This is a reason that a lot of the cheap phones have Android and Apple products demand a premium. (I have a computer and information systems degree as well as multiple certifications in the IT field).

I also want to add that the screen size that Apple chose for the iPhone 5 is ingenious, because it allows you full access to the whole screen with one hand that is holding the phone. I can see why people want huge screens on their phones of like 5.5″ or so. The Apple solution to that is the iPad, or if that is too big there is always the iPad mini. I personally think that a phone should be only so big. Bigger isn’t always better. What if the iPad was the new iPhone, would that be cool with such a huge display? Would that even fit anywhere other than your backpack/back seat? I think that Apple has done a great job of not following the crowd and using common sense instead. Also when having Android I have had my phone freeze/crash daily. With the switch to iOS It never crashed or frozen on me, even on my old iPhone 4.

I had a HTC EVO and I loved that phone it was near perfection. Had the opportunity to upgrade so I went with a HTC 4G LTE, this one is even better! When it comes time to upgrade again in 2 yrs or so, I’ll definately be looking at the newest and most recent of HTCs again.

Where is the Sony Xperia Z? Is the Sony Xperia Z out of top 10?

Here’s an idea: Since everyone seems to have their own idea of which phone is #1, let the public decide by collecting all of these comments along with their votes and then create and publish the list, along with the cooresponding comments showing which phone is considered the best and the reason why.

i have had an iphone since the very first day that it came out. Trust me the iphone is not even comparable to the note 2. i still cant believe how bad it smokes the iphone.

Where is the nexus 4? The value packed into that phone and the spec’s should have put it on this list..

Do grade school girls do your pricing? You compare a Samsung Galaxy S4 Sprint subsidized price to a HTC unlocked price.

Well, my phone is ‘sort of’ in this list, but with a better OS than the one listed. iPhones are poor but people are sheep, hence their popularity.
You mention the Lumia 920, which I won’t dispute is a superb device, but I prefer my lesser known Windows Phone 8 device
Samsung Ativ S. The Samsung GS3 but with Windows OS. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate Android, I used to like it, but this Windows OS is better than anything I’ve used before.

Quit complaining about pop-ups. Download adblocker already. Whiners. It’s a solution to a problem that takes, literally, 20-30 seconds. What pop-ups?
