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. *.Hands on: BlackBerry Z30 review 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. *.Hands on: ZTE Blade V review 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? *.Hands on: Nokia Lumia 625 review 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. *. Nexus 5 release date, news and rumours 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. *. HTC One Max news, release date and rumours

You might also like... If a phone isn't in the top 20 best phones in the world list, that doesn't mean it's not worth giving two hoots about. Here's a few handsets you might want to think about should none of the above tickle your fancy... although you're clearly VERY hard to please: Motorola Razr HD A former top 20 resident the Motorola Razr HD is still a decent contender and has only dropped out of our best phones list due to newer handsets elbowing their way to the top. While this phone lacks in some areas (let's be honest: a dual-core processor doesn't get anyone's heart racing any more, despite being able to handle most tasks) it still has a clear screen, simple OS and a really strong battery at its heart. Many will be taken by the almost stock Android platform it uses, and the fact it's got an additional HDMI port means it's easy to sync your phone up to a big screen - plus it doesn't cost the earth.

You don't get 4G, NFCor a shiny metal chassis, but the Y300 offers a solid build a reliable - if not slightly sluggish - interface. Huawei Ascend Y300 review Nokia Lumia 720 The Nokia Lumia 720 is a great smartphone and though some may be put off that it's rocking Windows Phone 8over Android, if you're in the market for a mid-range mobile this is certainly worth considering. If offers a bigger screen then the excellent, but small Lumia 520and it won't make a massive dent in your wallet if the Lumia 925is out of your price range.

BEST MOBILE PHONES IN THE WORLD TODAY.

Number 1: HTC One 1. HTC One Don't fear HTC fans - your darling is still number one. As our only five star phone, its combination of impressive UI and stunning aluminium build means it was always safe in the number one It's nothing to do with the quality of the S4 or the LG G2 – outstanding phones in anyone's book – but more the fact HTC has managed to bring out a smartphone that's worthy of any user's consideration. The supreme aluminium chassis, the Full HD screen and the simplified version of Sense 5.0 sitting on top of Android Jelly Beanmeans it's a pleasure to use and recommend this handset. The new innovations are also pleasingly more than just marketing gimmicks; Zoe functionality allows the creation of delightful video highlight reels, and the Ultrapixel camera means you've got a much wider range of shots available thanks to being stunning in low light. Quick Verdict With power, poise and beauty all combined in this innovative phone, HTC has proved it can more than still cut it with the big boys when it comes to bringing out a lust-worthy flagship smartphone - and it's also proved that it still knows how to beat the Samsungs and LGs of this world into third and second place with ease. We're now starting to wonder how HTC can hold its place at the top - but with that metallic frame, there's no short supply of users ready to coo all over it the second it lands in their hand. *.

20 BEST MOBILE PHONES IN THE WORLD TODAY VII.

From number 3 Number 4: iPhone 5S 4. iPhone 5S Did you see this one coming? The iPhone 5S behind three other Android phones in our rankings? Some think it should be higher, some think lower - it depends on your level of Apple love. Never has a company polarised opinion in the smartphone world like Apple - and with the iPhone 5S, so many are quick to decry it while others know it to be the smartphone they've been waiting for. And let's make no bones about it: this is a stunning phone, with a gorgeous two-tone finish, a high-res screen with good colour reproduction, a 64-bit chip and that all-powerful TouchID sensor that lets you unlock your phone with a simple fingerprint. The iOS 7update is one that we sorely, sorely needed and does bring a lot more power and control - as shown by the impressive and pervasive Control Center. We really like TouchID, the processor might be a little useless now but definitely brings a touch more zip to things, and the M7 chip for fitness apps will be very exciting in weeks and months to come as app developers get their paws on it. The main problem we have with this phone, spec list aside, is the fact the iPhone 5S is STILL very expensive... we're not sure how such sky high prices can be charged when equivalent smartphones are available on the market. Quick verdict Let's not beat around the bush here: the iPhone 5S is still one of the great smartphones in the world thanks to a great package of technology, design and UI intuition. iOS 7 is the update we've needed for a while, and does a lot to help keep Apple current at the sharp end of the market - but we still can't wait to see what the iPhone 6will bring, as essentially this is still the same phone as the iPhone 5 but with a better engine under the hood. *. iPhone 5S review *. Compare the best iPhone 5S deals Number 3: Samsung Galaxy S4 3. Samsung Galaxy S4 All change at the top! Samsung managed to hold off HTC at the top in 2012, but this year the supreme stylings of the HTC One proved too strong against a phone that's a slightly-better-version of its predecessor. Well, that's not really fair - it's only in looks that it's too similar, and sadly that was one of the biggest issues most users had with the S3. It's not the world's biggest smartphone crime, but it's enough to keep it from the top spot. There's a lot, alot,to love with the Samsung Galaxy S4 though: whether it's a powerful camera, a brilliant screen, a long-lasting battery or just a fluid experience, there's everything you could want in a smartphone right here. The cost is a tad higher than on other smartphones, but thankfully still cheaper than iPhone level. If only it was made out of something a little more premium... LG has now taken its second spot too - here's hoping the Samsung Galaxy S5brings something that's really rather special to halt its slide down the charts. Verdict There's no doubt that this is one of the best smartphones ever made - it's clear, powerful and does everything we'd expect a flagship phone from Samsung to do. It's just a shame that the perceived 'innovation' doesn't really add anything: motion gestures, smart scroll and it's other non-contact bedfellows didn't take smartphones to the next level, which is what we needed in the face of Ultrapixels and BoomSound.

Believe it people; LG has made a phone that not only impressed us but ran the HTC One very, very close for the top spot. We don't know where to start in terms of extolling the virtues of this new handset from the South Korean firm: it's got an insanely good screen, quality camera, the best audio pumping out from its speakers and headphone jack... the list goes on.

20 BEST MOBILE PHONES IN THE WORLD TODAY VII.

From number 3 Number 4: iPhone 5S 4. iPhone 5S Did you see this one coming? The iPhone 5S behind three other Android phones in our rankings? Some think it should be higher, some think lower - it depends on your level of Apple love. Never has a company polarised opinion in the smartphone world like Apple - and with the iPhone 5S, so many are quick to decry it while others know it to be the smartphone they've been waiting for. And let's make no bones about it: this is a stunning phone, with a gorgeous two-tone finish, a high-res screen with good colour reproduction, a 64-bit chip and that all-powerful TouchID sensor that lets you unlock your phone with a simple fingerprint. The iOS 7update is one that we sorely, sorely needed and does bring a lot more power and control - as shown by the impressive and pervasive Control Center. We really like TouchID, the processor might be a little useless now but definitely brings a touch more zip to things, and the M7 chip for fitness apps will be very exciting in weeks and months to come as app developers get their paws on it. The main problem we have with this phone, spec list aside, is the fact the iPhone 5S is STILL very expensive... we're not sure how such sky high prices can be charged when equivalent smartphones are available on the market. Quick verdict Let's not beat around the bush here: the iPhone 5S is still one of the great smartphones in the world thanks to a great package of technology, design and UI intuition. iOS 7 is the update we've needed for a while, and does a lot to help keep Apple current at the sharp end of the market - but we still can't wait to see what the iPhone 6will bring, as essentially this is still the same phone as the iPhone 5 but with a better engine under the hood. *. iPhone 5S review *. Compare the best iPhone 5S deals Number 3: Samsung Galaxy S4 3. Samsung Galaxy S4 All change at the top! Samsung managed to hold off HTC at the top in 2012, but this year the supreme stylings of the HTC One proved too strong against a phone that's a slightly-better-version of its predecessor. Well, that's not really fair - it's only in looks that it's too similar, and sadly that was one of the biggest issues most users had with the S3. It's not the world's biggest smartphone crime, but it's enough to keep it from the top spot. There's a lot, alot,to love with the Samsung Galaxy S4 though: whether it's a powerful camera, a brilliant screen, a long-lasting battery or just a fluid experience, there's everything you could want in a smartphone right here. The cost is a tad higher than on other smartphones, but thankfully still cheaper than iPhone level. If only it was made out of something a little more premium... LG has now taken its second spot too - here's hoping the Samsung Galaxy S5brings something that's really rather special to halt its slide down the charts. Verdict There's no doubt that this is one of the best smartphones ever made - it's clear, powerful and does everything we'd expect a flagship phone from Samsung to do. It's just a shame that the perceived 'innovation' doesn't really add anything: motion gestures, smart scroll and it's other non-contact bedfellows didn't take smartphones to the next level, which is what we needed in the face of Ultrapixels and BoomSound.
