Top 5 Mobile Phones In The World
1.Samsung Galaxy S6
Samsung has a job to do here. While by no means a sales flop, there’s a feeling that the company lost its way somewhat with the Galaxy S5. That it just wasn’t a flagship worthy of the company bearing the standard for Android in the war against Apple.
The S6, then, is an opportunity to bounce back - and Samsung hasn’t squandered it.
Just about every criticism levelled at the S5 has been fixed, and while it might not cause your friends to go quite as enviously green as the Galaxy S6 Edge, the vanilla S6 has 99.9% of the substance, just skimming off that top layer of flashy panache.
The people who said Samsung had lost its mojo were wrong.
2.Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge+ is the ultimate Android phone, and it comes with an ultra-premium price tag.
Oil barons with billions to burn, forget those bonkers gold mobiles from Vertu. This is the status symbol you’re looking for. As for the rest of us, it’s the phablet interest-free overdrafts were made for.
The Edge+’s concept is nothing too bold. It’s a larger version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge that wowed us earlier this year, with a screen that curves around at the edges. The sort of thing that would only have been a far-off concept design a couple of years ago. However, an extra chunk of screen gives the Edge+’s display that extra-impressive edge while it’s also technologically superior to almost everything out there.
There’s just one issue with Samsung’s sort of Note 4 successor though. At around £749 for the 'entry-level' 32GB version and up to £829 for the 64GB one, it’s expensive enough to make your debit card run for the hills.
3.LG G4
Remember the days when an LG phone was nothing to shout about?
You only have to cast your mind back a couple of years, but then the G2 came along, and since then each new LG flagship has been anticipated as a potential demolisher of the very best that Samsung, HTC and Apple have to offer.
So the new G4 arrives with much fanfare and expectation, and it’s certainly dressed to impress in a shell of real, proper, made-from-the-skin-of-dead-animals leather. If that’s not to your taste (or within your budget) there’s a cheaper plastic/ceramic version. And no matter what it’s wearing, the G4 really is the toughest Galaxy S6 challenger in town.
4.Google Nexus 6P
Android isn’t an elitist system. But it still has a pure-breed strain. We’re talking about the Nexus family, the official ambassadors of Google’s mobile republic. Phones like the Nexus 6P aren’t made in Google labs by Google robots, though.
The Nexus 6P is made by Huawei, which has clawed its way up from making budget phones, often for other companies, to produce this. And it is one of the lead Android phones, regardless of brand.
After the Nexus 6, which not everyone loves, the Nexus 6P sees the series get back on track. Starting at £449 it’s a bit cheaper than the ‘intended’ prices of the other flagships, and really aces a lot of phone side attractions as well as the main events, like the speakers, battery, fingerprint scanner and selfie camera.
It’s one of the best all-round phones money can buy.
5.Apple iPhone 6s
The iPhone 6s is the Sir Alex Ferguson of smartphones. It is Superman once the world’s been purged of kryptonite. It is a kebab you drunkenly ordered at 3am.
In other words: it is a surefire winner.
For Apple’s latest handset to not shift by the bucketload, Tim Cook would have had to have pledged allegiance to ISIS while unveiling it two weeks ago. The iPhone 6 was the world’s best-selling smartphone. As was the iPhone 5s.
So why innovate with the 6s? Apple doesn’t need to push smartphone tech forwards to make an obscene amount of money.
And yet Apple claims it has innovated, adding 3D Touch, a new 12-megapixel camera and the faster than ever A9 processor to what is already a supremely capable phone. With the iPhone 6s, Jony Ive and co say they’ve finessed every aspect of an already great product. Not sat on their laurels or chased the bandwagon in a never-ending specs war.
On first glance, the 6s looks near-on identical to its predecessor. On every glance, in fact, little seems to have changed from the iPhone 6. Even when you get right up close and even inside its svelte aluminium casing you’ll find a screen with the same resolution and as little as 16GB internal storage.
Where does the truth lie? We’ve got the answer.
