NEW MOBILE PHONE 2013 - WHAT'S COMING UP?
New mobile phones 2013 - what's coming up?
Of course, there's always a chance you don't give two hoots about the phones we've listed here, and want to know what shining lights are set to glimmer into focus in the final few months of this year and early in 2014.
Here's a selection of new upcoming phones to whet your appetite:
BlackBerry Z30
The key feature on the BlackBerry Z30 is its 5-inch display, putting is squarely up against the big players in the market including the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, LG G2and Nokia Lumia 925.
We found the Z30 to be a capable, if unappealing smartphone during our hands on review, and it's probably never going to try and win the hearts of the masses.
That said if you've still got a soft spot for BlackBerry and want to get your mitts on their best smartphone hold on for the Z30 to hit stores.
We're currently putting through the BlackBerry Z30 through our in depth review process, so keep an eye out for our final thoughts soon.

ZTE Blade V
A quad-core processor in a smartphone which will set you back no more than £90 - that's the dream, right? Well the ZTE Blade V delivers just that.
It's not really got much going for it beyond 'it's really rather cheap for a quad-core device' though, and that may not be enough to warrant a purchase.
We fear for a lack of substance underneath the spec sheet, but that could all change come our in depth review, so you should keep an eye on the Blade V.

Nokia Lumia 625
Why are all the big screened phones so expensive? It means those on a tighter budget are left to make do with smaller screens and that just doesn't seem fair.
Luckily the Nokia Lumia 625 is on hand, or it will be soon, with its 4.7-inch display and rather affordable £200 price tag to ease that big screen pain.
After our hands on time with the handset we walked away from the Nokia Lumia 625 feeling distinctly under whelmed. In a vacuum, this would be an interesting device, but we fear it will struggle to stand out in a crowded middle market. Is Windows Phone and a 4.7-inch screen a big enough pull?

Google Nexus 5
Google will launch another Nexus device. It will more than likely arrive rocking Android 4.4 KitKat, probably sometime in October this year and we'd expect it to have a highly attractive price tag.
The latest reports suggest the Nexus 5will sport the same specs as the iPhone 5S, but at about half the price, which would really stick it to Apple.
Of course it's pure speculation at the moment and we wait for something firm to come out of the search giant surrounding the Nexus 5.
In the meantime, read up on all the latest news and rumours in our Nexus 5 hub, there's a link to it below.

HTC One Max
We love the HTC One- it's so good in fact we gave it a 5 star rating and number one spot in our 20 Best Mobiles Phones in the World. So what will HTC do next? Make the same phone, just bigger, apparently.
A possible HTC One Max release date has been pegged for October 17, while rumoured specs include a huge 5.9-inch full HD display, 2.3GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.
The One Max price could be an issue though with a figure around the £600 mark being knocked about - better start saving them.
