Once you've used a smartphone every day, never look back. Here's our pick of the bunch, Android
Samsung Galaxy S4
One of the best smartphones is better than ever
Expert Opinion
The Galaxy S4 is the update for the Galaxy S3, our favorite Android smartphone last year. It is perhaps the most hyped phone of all time, but fortunately, remains an amazing device.
Although 5-inch large screen phone, achieves light and thin, and weighs only 130 grams. It is the first phone with an AMOLED display with a Full HD resolution, so it is a great figure of 441 pixels per inch, 306ppi increase over its predecessor. The operating system and web pages, as expected, the hyper-acute.
The S4 uses the same Qualcomm chipset as the HTC One, but is clocked at 1.9 GHz instead of 1.7 GHz phone terribly fast, both in everyday applications and 3D landmarks active. Despite all this power, 2,600 mAh of S4 was maintained for ten hours and 43 minutes during video playback, the newspaper, which is one of the most impressive numbers we've seen.
The S4 is a lot smarter than your money. This is a relatively conservative design, but has a larger screen and a battery that HTC One in a smaller package. You may prefer metal casing of the HTC One, but if you're not system wide settings HTC, the Galaxy S4 is the phone for you.

Motorola RAZR HD
A great alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S3
Expert Opinion
The RAZR HD is a powerful and good-looking Android phone with a huge battery, and is also a good price contract.
We found the Kevlar back panel, raincoat and a screen Gorilla Glass scratch resistant, and the large 2530 mAh battery the phone meant success on our video playback test. Huge 14 hours
4.7in screen AMOLED phone is a model with a 1280 x 720, and is as impressive as that of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The phone also supports 4G if you have a little sorry for high-speed data - the only disappointment is the camera of boring.

HTC One
The latest next generation smartphone
Now, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is here, the HTC One finally has some stiff competition, but still has his head up. The phone features a stunning metal body and full HD 4.7in high contrast, which is perfect for viewing web pages with zoom.
The phone feels beautiful in the hand, and the vibrant colors of the screen uses Android 4.1 base. The HTC One is fast, thanks to quad-core processor 1.7 GHz
Beautiful design aside, the One is distinguished from other Android phones Full HD, as the Sony Xperia S, due to its extensive software modifications. Instead of being full of icons and widgets, standard home screen is a food information, with thick tiles show the latest information news and social media feeds.
If you prefer the standard Android home screens instead can always shuffle the order, so that the news service is not the first thing you see. If your phone to a grand design to buy this phone, but the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a larger screen and greater battery life, but also less extensive system settings.

Samsung Galaxy S3
It is not the best Android smartphone, but still a great value
Our expert advice The Samsung Galaxy S3 is not the best Android smartphone out there and has been replaced by the S4, but still is thin, fast, has great AMOLED screen and is now available at a very reasonable price.
The phone is now even better, thanks also support an upgrade to 4G. Especially in all parts of the network we saw speeds up to 25 Mbit / s, which is two times faster than many broadband connections at home. However, if you want to get insurance 4G LTE version of the device, as there is only some much 3G on sale and they are available only as part of the best deals
Samsung phone is loaded with smart features. If during a contact on the screen, the call, the person automatically phone to your ear when the flip turn while ringing the bell, and Stay Smart feature uses the front camera to keep the screen while watching .
Throw in an excellent camera and has all the ingredients for a brilliant smartphone, which is available at a very reasonable price.

Apple iPhone 5
A worthy upgrade for the iPhone
Five generations of our expert advice and the iPhone is still to defeat the model. Android has made great progress, but still the iOS, the operating system faster, easier to use with ease and there's no arguing with the quality of the apps in the App Store.
The iPhone 5 is an evolution of the four, with a longer more screen space for application icons and a better aspect ratio of widescreen movies. It is also incredibly fast - more than twice as fast as the iPhone 4S in the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark.
The only thing the iPhone 5 to get a prize is horrible new Apple Maps application, which replaces Google Maps, but this should improve over time.

Motorola RAZR i
A beautiful slim Intel phone
Our expert advice The RAZR i has an Intel processor instead of ARM, and is seriously fast - around the same speed as the iPhone 5 on the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark. Android 4.1 runs incredibly smooth, and the operating system looks pretty good to 960x540 pixel Super AMOLED screen of the phone.
The RAZR i has a 4.3in screen, which is great considering how compact the phone. It is also very intelligent, and rubber back looks great and makes the phone easier to hold.
It is a sleek handset round, and is also very good value for money in the contract.

Nokia Lumia 925
Best of Windows Phone 8 handset is
Our expert advice The Lumia 925 is an update for the Lumia 920, our favorite device of Windows Phone 8.
It focuses on some of the reviews of the 920, and 185 g heavyweight. Lumia 925 again cuts 46g, as well as the shaving of 2 mm thick phone.
Instead of a solid block of polycarbonate, like the 920, the Lumia 925 is divided into a plastic back and a metal frame, are fans of the plot, as we feel that makes the phone easier to hold.
The 925 has a 4.5in AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280 x 768. There is a full HD found in much of the competition, but still has an impressive pixel density of 332 pixels per inch, which is comparable to the iPhone 5's well 326ppi. The picture quality is excellent, too, with deep blacks and beautiful saturated colors.
Like the Lumia 920, the Lumia 925 has a 1.5 GHz processor dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. This is enough for Windows Phone 8 beautifully executed, and the 925 comes with some practical preloaded maps such as free offline navigation and music. If you are looking for a Windows Phone 8, is to have.
