Samsung Galaxy Extreme Xcover S5690

Samsung Galaxy Extreme Xcover S5690

The Galaxy Extreme is an affordable rugged handset, although it's short on internal storage and the screen and camera are both disappointingly low-resolution. If you want a tough Android smartphone, you should also consider the similarly priced Motorola Defy+. Read more

BlackBerry Torch 9860

BlackBerry Torch 9860

Although the 3.7in. Torch 9860 is easy to use and responsive, we're not sure that RIM is best serving the BlackBerry brand by jettisoning the physical keyboard. Read more

Samsung Galaxy Note Review

Samsung Galaxy Note Review

The Galaxy Note has a large, vibrant and responsive screen, and is a good size for using 'notepad style' with the S Pen. However, it's too large to carry around as an everyday smartphone, and isn't as useful at home or in the office as a full-sized tablet. Read more

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a big step forward for Android, but it's not the giant leap you may have been expecting. Impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy — and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android device. Read more

Apple iPhone 4 (32GB)

Apple iPhone 4 (32GB)

With the iPhone 4, Apple again shows that it's a powerful smartphone player. It won't be for everyone, but the handset's striking design, loaded feature set and satisfying performance make it the best iPhone yet. Read more

HTC Radar

HTC Radar

If you're a Windows Phone fan seeking a relatively compact and solidly built handset, the HTC Radar could fit the bill. The optional dock may prove attractive, although that must be balanced by the inaccessible battery. Read more

Nokia Lumia 800

Nokia Lumia 800

The Lumia 800 has appeal for both professional and personal users, and the reuse of the N9 chassis design is a good move. The result is a solid Windows Phone 7.5 handset. Read more

HTC Titan

HTC Titan

HTC's Windows Phone 7.5-based Titan has a fast 1.5GHz processor and an 8-megapixel camera, but its standout feature is a huge 4.7in. screen. We'd like the display better if it had more than 480 by 800 pixels, and people with small hands will find the device unwieldy. Read more

HTC Evo 3D

HTC Evo 3D

If you want to try 3D on a smartphone we recommend the less expensive LG Optimus 3D, which shoots 3D stills to a higher resolution and has a dedicated 3D user interface with better 3D integration. Read more

LG Optimus 3D

LG Optimus 3D

It's difficult not to be impressed with the 3D aspects of this smartphone, but there are drawbacks: it's large, sluggish at times and the battery life is abysmal. We're not sure this handset has much staying power, particularly as a business tool. Read more

Motorola Atrix

Motorola Atrix

Motorola's Atrix is a competent high-end smartphone with a fast dual-core processor, good battery life, a fingerprint reader and a high-resolution screen. If you're prepared to invest in the accessories, you'll get considerably more functionality than the average smartphone delivers. Read more
