Best Smartphones Of 2014

10) Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

This is the last smartphone on the list, by no means is it a bad phone though! The Samsung Galaxy s4 Mini (as you can tell by the name) is a miniature version of its dead daddy, the Samsung Galaxy s4. It has a 4.3 inch super amoled scree n with 256 PPI, 8MP rear facing camera and a 1.3MP front facing camera, 1.5gb ram and 12 hours battery life! Not bad for a last generation phone!


9) Nokia Lumia 1020

This smartphone has the highest number of megapixels on its camera than any other smartphone, and it’s by far the best! This handset has 41 megapixel camera, capable of capturing breath-taking images wherever you are! They are the same as some DSLR shots, if not better! It’s defiantly built to be seen as the colour that’s mainly displayed on the internet is yellow, which is very funky and bright.It has a Snapdragon s4 processor, a crisp 4.5 inch display and wireless charging capabilities! The main reason this smartphone is so low in our list is due to the fact that it runs on Windows Phone, which is lacking apps and games!


8) Samsung Galaxy Note 3

This is one of the largest smartphones out there to date, with a 5.7 inch super amoled display with 386 PPI. It looks stunning. This beast has 3gb Ram, up to 64gb of internal storage, 13mp front facing camera capable of recording 4k footage, which looks unbelievable when you look back at it on the colossal display. To put it straight, this thing is a media powerhouse. If you like to watch movies, play games or browse the web on your smartphone, this is the smartphone for you, if you have the money.

7) Motorola Moto G

This is by far the cheapest smartphone on this list, starting at as little as £135! Don’t let the price of this phone turn you off thought! For the price, it’s unbelievable how Motorola has managed to create such a good phone. It may not feel as good as an Iphone or HTC One M8, but it costs a fraction of what they cost. For £135, you get 8gb memory (for £155 you can get 16gb), 4.5 inch screen with 326 PPI,1gb RAM, 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor and a 5MP rear and 1.3MP front facing camera. Without a doubt, if you’re looking for an android smartphone and you’re on a tight budget. Buy this phone!


6) Sony Xperia Z2

Sony has really upped their game with this handset. It’s the most durable phone on our list being dust and water proof up to 1.5M! This smartphones boasts a 20.7MP rear facing camera with 4k recording, as well as a 2.2MP front facing camera, 2gb RAM and a 2.3GHz Snapdragon processor!


5) Google Nexus 5

Starting for as little as £295 (off contract) you get the latest version of Android immediately when it comes out as this handset is made by Google, the creator of Android OS. You also get a blazing quick 2.28 GHz Snapdragon processor, 2gb ram, 8MP rear and 1.3MP front facing camera.


4) iPhone 5s

This Iphone has lost a lot of business in the past couple of year, after dominating the mobile phone market since the initial launch of the original Iphone on June 29, 2007. The handset has development a lot since then, but recently the development of Apple’s handset devices is starting to fade, is it because they’re lacking creativity on their development team? Apple has a couple of things that make the Iphone extremely likeable, despite not having as many features as many other phones do. The best thing about the Iphone’s is the simplistic way IOS (the operating system) is set out. Any IOS novice could pick up an Iphone and immediately realize where to find apps ext. Another great thing on iphone’s is the camera. They may not have as many Megapixels as their completion,but the software Apple has developedsoftware takes full advantage of all light, and exposes the lens to it. This means you get a great picture, in a nice small compact file, which frees up space on your Iphone for other things e.g. More apps and music.


3) LG G2

The LG G2 is an extremely seductive looking piece of hardware. Not only does it look great, the performance of this phone is second to none! The screen on this handset is awesome, it has a whopping 423 PPI, which is defiantly bright enough to look directly at in sunlight without having to squint your eyes. This handset has 2.26GHz Snapdragon processor, 2gb RAM, 13Mp rear and a 2Mp front facing camera.


2) Samsung Galaxy S5

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is only a slight improvement over its predecessor, the galaxy s4. Don’t this this is a bad thing, because it isn’t. The S4 was a beast of a phone, it just needed tweaking and a couple more features. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has done just that, with a 16mp camera with real time HDR, heart rate monitor, 2gb of RAM, 5.1’ super amoled screen and a 2.5 GHz Snapdragon processor… This thing is an absolute beast!



1) HTC One M8

The original HTC One was a breakthrough for Android and HTC. It provided the consumer an Android experience like no other phone. The build quality of the original HTC One were second to none. The HTC One M8 is built with even more durability in mind! It is carved out of a single block of aluminium and boy does it feel spectacular! The 2.3 GHz processor is blazing quick, combine that with the 2gb or RAM on board the HTC One M8 and you have yourself multitasking powerhouse that blazes through any job you throw at it!
