| Bottom line | The
iPhone 5 completely rebuilds the iPhone on a framework of new features and design, addressing its major previous shortcomings. It's absolutely the best iPhone to date, and it easily secures its place in the top tier of the smartphone universe. | Pumped with high-performing hardware and creative software features, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is an excellent, top-end phone that's neck and neck with the HTC One X. | Motorola's fast, stylish Droid
Razr Maxx HD offers outstanding battery life, but its camera captures unimpressive images. | Nokia's
Lumia 920 is heavy and thick, but if you want the most powerful, feature-rich Windows phone available, this is it. |
