We are at a time where smartphones are released even in every quarter by most manufacturers. These are the best smartphones available for you from every manufacturer.
Android can boast that the smartphones it runs on now push the 3GB RAM barrier and the eight-core CPUs. Apple has opted for its in-house built A7 chip with a dual-core CPU, but of the 64-bit variety. iPhone 5s isn’t something completely unseen, in fact it uses the same body of the iPhone 5. The new smartphone is available is now available in three colors rather than two – Silver, Gold, and a “new space gray.” The other novelty is the fingerprint scanner-touting home button (Touch ID). It enables you to unlock the iPhone just by touching the home button and buy stuff without needing to enter your password.
HTC One is far greater in terms in build quality thanks to its aluminum unibody shell. It also comes with optical image stabilization and big camera sensor though limited up to 4MP resolution. The One flagship captures great photos even in low-light and offers one of the best Android launchers available on the market. HTC seems to be also struggling lately but it is still providing amazingly fast Android updates on its latest devices. HTC One is beautiful both on the inside and the outside and has already won lots of users on its side. It’s definitely a one to look forward to.
Samsung has really gone the extra mile to make the Galaxy Note 3 a true successor to the wildly popular Galaxy Note II. It has an updated innards (the first phone with 3GB RAM) as well as an updated screen. It’s a 5.7″ Super AMOLED display of 1080p resolution, which catches up to the Full HD trend. Not to mention the updated S Pen and it’s plethora of new software tricks. Samsung Note 3 and LG G2 flagships offer similar fluid Android experience, great 13MP camera capabilities and top-notch video quality. The Galaxy S4 has a few more advanced camera features and is capable of shooting amazing 60MPs panoramas and excellent HDR shots. If you need an even richer and highly customizable OS experience and you are ready to sacrifice some of the camera quality in favor of a bigger application store, then the Galaxy S4 or the LG G2 might be the right alternatives for you.
Nokia Lumia 1020 shoots amazing pictures with 41MP camera, offers life-time voice-guided worldwide navigation, great mapping service and even Nokia’s own Music streaming app. But there is more – the music player has rich equalizer options, the battery life is excellent, you can even use the screen with gloves or keys. The iconic glance screen is also here. We are sure Nokia’s name once again popped up on a few occasions.
Sony Xperia Z1 relies on a newly developed camera sensor and technology. It comes with a 20.7MP Exmor RS Sony sensor with a Superior Auto mode that produces 8MP shots from the raw 20.7MP images . Despite having a 1080p display, the Xperia Z1 TFT unit is nowhere near the quality of the other phone’s screens. In fact, Sony’s only advantages over the others are its water and dust protection shell. Of course, the performance department is where the Sony Xperia Z1 really shines. The Snapdragon 800 chipset packs up a punch and leaves absolutely no room for slowdowns. We’re sure that with this chipset, the Android experience would be as smooth as it gets. The Sony Xperia Z1 offers a unique feature mix, which pretty much limits the number of direct rivals.
You can compare the specs of each one as pitted in this table.
