Bottom 3 mobile phones of top 10 in 2014

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Key skin:

    5.7-inch 1080p Full HD screen
    13-megapixel central camera with LED twinkling
    Best stylus experience on a phone
    32GB of storeroom with microSD license support

Ruler of the large phones, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is in the past again equipped with the tremendous S-Pen stylus.

Featuring a 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED screen, the Note 3 is powered by a Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz CPU and has 32GB and 3GB of RAM to take carefulness of multitasking.

The scale design replace from the Note 2 is the leather-effect battery cover which is more cosmetic than calculation everything in terminology of comfort. There’s a 13-megapixel central camera to spurt photos on par with the S4, but the S Pen stylus is in the past again the star of the demonstrate and has more apps to consume its stylus powers.

If you are in imitation of a large screen phone to understand creative with, this is the most excellent to go off in lieu of.

2. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact



Key skin:

    Great 4.3-inch 720p HD screen
    Water and dust-proof
    Solid battery life

The spanking king of the mini smartphones, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact doesn’t bake the same performance compromises as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and the HTC One Mini and as a findings is a fantastic 4.3-inch Android smartphone.

The single aluminium frame gives it a construction related to the iPhone 4S and despite the slump down in screen firmness, is still a quick-witted and colourful place to watch excessive firmness tape. Hip the power administrative area, it uses the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU as the Xperia Z1 so expect a similarly efficient performance and it moreover manages an all-day battery life.

Packing the same 20.7-megapixel camera as the Z1 the Compact produces accomplished but not Nokia Lumia 1020-rivalling photos. If you are looking in lieu of a classy mini to facilitate comfortably sits in the pouch this is the most excellent absent at hand.

3. Google Nexus 5



Key skin:

    5-inch ample HD 1080p screen
    8-megapixel camera with decent low-light camera performance
    Runs on Android 4.4 KitKat
    Powerful an adequate amount of to run apps smoothly

If this was a round-up of the most excellent estimate smartphones, the Nexus 5 would win hands down. At £300 in lieu of the 16GB version, the Nexus 5 is far better estimate than the iPhone 5S and Galaxy S4, or some other rival we can think of.

Its Snapdragon 800 supercomputer agency it's a match in lieu of the iPhone's A7 supercomputer, and it's in reality quicker than the S4 and HTC One by dint of having the up-to-the-minute version of Qualcomm's top-end supercomputer.

Elsewhere, we love the understated and workable design, the screen and the one hundred per cent Android 4.4 experience with its improved interface.

Where it waterfall down is in the battery life and camera departments. Neither are bad, but they don't quite match up to the iPhone 5S, which is why it's individual a narrow (but still excellent) minute overall.
