Despite producing stellar handsets in recent years, HTC has never really captured public
attention in the same way as Samsung but the HTC One changes all that.

This smartphone really is as good as it gets. A machined precession alumunium body
gives the phone a build that only the iPhone can compare to Like the Xperia Z,
The weight (143 grams) and thickness (9.3 mm) only serve to add to the premium feel and
make the One a dream to handle.

By opting for a 4.7 -inches instead of 5.0 -inches in the display department,
HTC has produced 469ppi Colours are wonderfully vivid and text is oin sharp every time,
No matter if you're watching Netfix or browsing the web.

The HTC One is also a powerhouse of a smartphone, boasting a Qualcomm Snapdragon
1.7 GHz quad-core processor and 2 GB RAM, The Taiwanese manufacturer comes up
trumps in the camera depertment too, with a 4-MP ultraoixel snapper delivering staggering quality.
Both the rear and front facing cameras get 1080p video recording and the secondery camera,

At position  7 the SG4 was 2013's first real phone hard-hitter- The Galaxy S4 had a lot to live
up to when it was relesed back in April-the Galaxy S3 was a game-changing smartphone, and
one that few thought Samsung would ever top.
It's questionable whether Samsung managed to pull it off - some may think they have, we think not.
This Phone is more of a tweaked version of the SG3 rather than a phone worth upgrading to if you
already own the SG3. In terms of value for money we'd recommend getting the SG3
(further down the list) on contract instead and if your a loyal SG3 owner, wait for the SG3!


The Galazy S4 is slightly more serious looking phone then its predecssor, and gives
the superficial appearance that it really means busniess.
Samsung has opted to stick with device.
The S4 is still better spec'd more innovative, and has a bigger screen than the S3.
Speaking of the screen, the phone providing an deep darks.
A 1.6 GHz Cortex A-15 processor and 2 GB of RAM are used to power the phone the phone
providing an simple improvement on performance to the S3.

Smartphone photographers will enjoy the 13-MP camera, which prduces quality images and
excellent features, including Dual Shop, whery by both cameras (Front and Rear) shoot
footage at the same time.

As ever, Samsung is generous with storage, offering 16, 32, and 64 GB versions of the S4
and a micro-SD card slot for a further 64 GB of space whice some big names such as the HTC One
range and iPhone ranges fail to do.

If your in the market for a 'flashy' brand new phone, the SG4 might be for you,
However if your looking for value for money on a contract phone, opt for the SG3 further down.
