20 BEST MOBILE PHONES IN THE WORLD TODAY III.

Best Mobile phone: 15-11 15. Samsung Galaxy S3 With the Samsung Galaxy S4 (and friends) now launched, the S3 has predictably fallen down the rankings thanks to there being a better phone to recommend. But don't worry: the S3 is still a strong phone: it's got every kind of feature we could ask for and more, and raised the bar once again in terms of what consumers should be expecting in terms of battery life, processor speed and media management. Would we recommend you buy one if you're hankering for a spot of Samsung? Yes, but only if you're trying to save money, as the S4 is a much better version of this phone indeed. Price isn't the only reason the Samsung Galaxy S3 is worthy of consideration though. Smart Stay, Super AMOLED HD screen, up to 128GB storage, Music Hub, removable battery, quick camera; for the price, this phone still delivers in ways that many others on the market can't. The design didn't impress us as much as when we first laid eyes on the S2, but that's the only big issue we could find - and it's proven popular enough for MILLIONS of you to have bought it thus far, showing that it's still a cutting edge smartphone for some. It looks like Android 4.2 is being skipped for the all-singing 4.3 version (for Galaxy Gear smartwatch compatibility), there's still life in this once-leading phone - just make sure you check out the S4 or Note 3 first. Quick verdict If you're after a decent slab of Samsung tech, the Galaxy S3 won't disappoint. It's fast, it's sleek and it still packs some interesting and useful technology. Samsung faced an almost impossible task in trying to create a worthy sequel to the Galaxy S2, and while it's not longer top dog, it's at least getting more palatable in terms of price - plus is nimble enough to take down a number of newer phones too. *.

A Windows Phone 8one, and we've got no qualms about telling you this is the best high-end Windows Phone out there. Simplicity is the key here, the Lumia 925 does the basics well, from contact integration and calling, to web browsing and messaging. The camera is market-leading, and offers excellent performance from low-light to jumpy videos. The 8.7MP PureView camera on the back of the Lumia 925 is actually one of the best we've used, and for anyone looking to get a top end cameraphone: you need to seriously consider this Nokia, although the recent glut of handsets (Sony Xperia Z1, HTC One, LG G2 and iPhone 5S) have all stepped up their game significantly to offer strong camera experiences too. The 4.5-inch display is also a good'un, crisp and clear it makes watching movies, surfing the web or Facebook stalking an enjoyable experience, thanks to the PureMotion HD technology on offer. And you can even use it with gloves on... what more could you want? You're right: hologram messages. But they don't exist yet. Quick verdict The Nokia Lumia 925 is a worthy ambassador for Windows Phone 8 and probably a strong part of the reason Microsoft decided to acquire the Finnish handset division. It's not got the clout to take on the likes of the HTC One and Galaxy S4just yet, but it's still a great choice if you're not sold on Android or iOS but don't want to give up a powerful phone. *.

Well, you can't really blame us. This isn't a new iPhone - it's last year's device in brand new package with more colours to choose from. There are more LTE bands to choose from too, which is important to UK buyers as it means it can give superfast speeds from all the networks. It's still a really rather good phone, with the Retina display still giving market-leading colour reproduction, a strong camera and the best App Store around. Quick verdict We'll be honest: this is the place the iPhone 5 would have occupied since it's been usurped by the iPhone 5S. This is, in our eyes, essentially the same phone with a new skin. There will be loads of people looking to buy it simply because the iPhone now comes in pink or green, and to those we say: look at the Lumia range. Nokia's been doing the same thing for years and at a much, much cheaper price point. The iPhone 5C is the same as a every phone from Apple: too expensive for what it is, but if you're desperate for such a device from the Cupertino brand then this is still a strong handset to plump for. *. iPhone 5C review *.
