The past year has been a big one for the cell phone market. Phones are getting bigger, faster, and better . This is good news for consumers because variety is always a good thing. But with so many products and companies fighting for your attention, you’ll need a helping hand to find the cream of the crop. Here are Creekle’s top picks:
Samsung Galaxy S5
We’ve all come to expect great things from Samsung. They are an industry leader when it comes to electronics, always providing top-tier products across the board. In a cell phone market dominated by Apple, Samsung has managed to produce a strong competitor to the iPhone. The Galaxy S5 by Samsung is the company’s latest flagship model. Not only is it one of the most popular cell phones on the market, but it’s also one of the best.
Sporting Android 4.4 “KitKat” and a Snapdragon 801 processor, the S5 is extremely fast and efficient. You’d be hard-pressed to find a faster phone out there. It also has a beautiful and bright screen with a resolution of 1080 X 1920 pixels on a Super AMOLED screen.
The camera is another one of the S5’s big features as it sports a whopping 16 megapixels. From autofocus and manual focus to High Dynamic Range mode (HDR) to digital image stabilization, this camera has everything you need to capture the perfect moment.
iPhone 5s
There’s not much to say about the iPhone that hasn’t already been said. Apple has been the industry leader in the cell phone market for quite some time. Every year they take a great phone and make it even greater.
The iPhone 5s impresses on nearly every level with its super minimal and sleek design, fantastic camera, and intuitive iOS 7 operating system. It delivers a handy fingerprint sensor for extra security and even a motion-tracking chip, a great addition for fitness buffs. Of course it also has all the best apps that you’ve come to expect from iOS. Having some of the best developer support, this is a phone that you just can’t go wrong with.
LG G3
This is a cell phone that took many by surprise. LG has struggled in the past to make a name for itself as a good cellular device deserving of your hard earned cash. This year, however, they seem to have found their place among a sea of competitors, proving that it’s hard to ignore them.
One of the first things you’re bound to notice about this phone is its innovative design. It’s got a gigantic 5.5 inch screen with some of the smallest bezels of any phone. To further compliment that, it’s got an amazing resolution of 1440 X 2560 pixels (with viewing quality equal to high end glossy art books). It’s fast, too. With the Snapdragon 801 processor the G3 will let you do whatever you need without ever slowing down.
Sony Xperia Z2
The Xperia Z2 might just be one of the sleekest phones on the market. You can really tell that a lot of care went into making a design that would really resonate with people – something typical of Sony products.
One of the main features of this phone is that it is highly dust and water-resistant. If you’re one of those people who has ever had a phone claimed by their toilet, this is especially good news.
Sony isn’t pulling any punches with this phone in terms of hardware. It features an impressive 20.7 megapixel camera, making it a very good choice for photography aficionados. You won’t have any trouble multitasking either with its large 3072 MB of RAM. The 5.2 inch screen produces beautiful image quality with its new Live Color LED imaging technology. This truly is a beast of a phone.
Google Nexus 5
Google isn’t content with just dominating the internet, as it aims to seize control of the cell phone market, too. The Google Nexus 5 is a powerful and cheap smart phone that offers big features to accomplish any task. It has a nice 5-inch screen clocking in at 1080 x 1920 pixels. The camera is a decent 8 megapixels featuring optical image stabilization and HDR. This phone also features a solid 2058 MB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in storage.
Perhaps one of the most impressive things about this smart phone is how much you get for the cost. It is one of the cheaper flagship options available that still offers all the powerful hardware and features you’d want.
