Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE
It should come as no shock to most of you that the brilliant Samsung
Galaxy S3 - voted Best Smartphone at the uSwitch Mobile Awards 2012 -
should lead the charge of the year’s very best releases.
Rocking a stunning 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display and a quad-core
processor that handles multitasking with aplomb, the Galaxy S3 is as
powerful as it is cutting-edge. And now with 4G LTE support, the best
just got even better.
What’s perhaps even more impressive about the S3 is its amazing array
of software that really puts the ‘smart’ back into smartphone and sets
it apart from the competition.
From the intelligent SmartStay mode that keeps the screen awake for
as long as it’s in use to Pop-up play function that lets you continue
watching a video while working on something else, the S3 is packed to
the brim with intuitive, well thought out features.
It’s hardly a surprise then that it’s already shifted over 30 million
units worldwide and should no doubt be at the forefront of your
consideration when picking out a new smartphone.
Apple iPhone 5
Dedicated smartfans need no introduction to Apple’s perpetually
best-selling iPhone and the iPhone 5 lives up to its predecessors’
status by packing yet more improvements in an even slicker and slimmer
design.
For starters it’s the first ever handset from the Maker of Shiny
iThings to offer worldwide LTE connectivity. Secondly, it’s fitted with a
dynamic antenna that seamlessly switches between 4G and 3G networks to
give you a speedy, uninterrupted mobile internet experience.
Apple has also upped the screen size to four inches, which boasts a
16:9 widescreen aspect ratio that makes it ideal for streaming movies
and working on the go. The Retina display with an eye-popping 326 pixels
per inch density is superb, offering even richer colours and contrast
than before.
And if you need more reasons to decide on an iPhone over a sea of
iClones, there are literally hundreds of thousands waiting for you at
the App Store.
Nokia Lumia 920
Nokia has built its reputation on designing top drawer smartphones
known for their sturdy build quality and chic, colourful designs and the
Lumia 920 is no exception.
The Finnish phone-maker’s latest flagship kit, featuring a slick,
slim and slab-like form factor that comes in an array of bright colours,
really is a breath of fresh air in a market saturated with drab and
uninspired handsets.
Powered by the latest, snappiest Windows Phone 8 operating system,
the 920 makes it a piece of cake to connect with the people and
information that matter to you.
And it’s no slouch in the hardware department, with specs that
include a 4.5-inch PureMotion+ HD display, an 8.7-megapixel camera with
Carl Zeiss optic that takes excellent snaps and shoots in full HD, and
of course, 4G LTE connectivity for blazing fast internet.
If you’re in the market for a great smartphone that’s not an iPhone or an Android, you need not look any further.
HTC Windows Phone 8X
HTC is not one to be left out of the cool parties and it’s very much
an A-List presence with the fantastic Windows Phone 8X, home to a
4.3-inch HD Super LCD2 display, a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4
processor and an eight-megapixel camera.
Aside from running on the same, superb Windows Phone 8, which is
probably not hard to tell from its name, a stylish design and selection
of vibrant colourways also makes the 8X very much an effort in the same
vein as the Nokia Lumia 920.
What sets the 8X apart, though, is the kind of industrial quality
that’s become a hallmark of the HTC brand, and exclusive features, not
least of which includes a built-in amplifier for Beats Audio, a 88°
ultra-wide-angle front camera that captures almost three times the area
of other phones and an advanced image signal processor (ImageChip) that
enables speedy autofocus and continuous burst mode.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg of what the 8X offers, and in our
opinion, it’s easily one of the best smartphones HTC has made yet.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE
Even a year ago, very few would have believed that a smartphone
equipped with an utterly enormous 5.3-inch display could ever break into
the mainstream consciousness, especially following several
long-forgotten attempts failed trying, among which only the Dell Streak
rings a bell anymore.
Well, that’s exactly what Samsung’s Galaxy Note did, with over 10
million units sold of a device that not only brought the stylus back
into fashion but also transformed a formerly ‘niche’ form factor into
one that’s increasingly becoming the norm.
The Galaxy Note 2 takes all that its predecessor achieved and
enriches it with a better S-Pen stylus, a larger 5.5-inch screen and
whole host of features such as MultiView that lets you split the screen
into two to keep working while you do something else, Air Play, which
enables you to preview content by simply hovering the S-Pen over them
and Quick Command, which reveals a list of apposite options with a
simple swipe.
Aptly dubbed a ‘phablet’ for combining the size and functionality of a
smartphone with the advanced capabilities of a tablet, the Galaxy Note 2
is proof-positive that bigger sometimes really is better.
