HTC One Mini 2

You want the best smartphone, right? Weve whittled our constantly updated selection down to the 10 best handsets you can get your hands on right now but after youve checked out number one, weve still got plenty of other options to feast your eyes on. Weve all got at least one mobile phone each, right? Weve probably got about three or four nowadays, and that counts giving your old Nokia 3310 to your Mum a few years ago. But while you used to be able to just bank on the new Nokia or always get the next Sony Ericsson because it had a half decent camera, there are now so many great options out there from loads of manufacturers. The trouble is, how do you decide which is the best one for you? Well, this is where we make it easy: weve played with nearly every device on the market and have found the ten best you can spend your money on. It needs to be good, after all, given it will reside in your pocket for the next two years. Our ranking of the best mobile phones available in the UK today celebrates the brilliance of the smartphone: we love handsets that add in functionality to enrich our lives in so many different ways. We also partially take into account the price of the phone too meaning a low price handset doesnt always need to have high spec functions to be in our top 10. The HTC One was the star of last year, staying at the top of the charts for nearly 10 months, seeing off the challenge from the likes of Nokia, Sony, LG and Samsung (namely the Galaxy S4) showing the smartphone market still has a fair few players. The iPhone 5S proved to still be a little too pricey with a smaller screen, and the iPhone 5C was cheaper but with some ageing hardware. And now Google is playing fast and loose with consumers wallets, thanks to offering the ultra cheap Nexus 5 and the even ultra cheaper Moto G could those be the phones for you? But now were in 2014, and the game has changed. Relentless design reimagination from HTC has led to the excellent HTC One M8 landing right at the top of the tree, but now the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 are here can either take the crown? Not so good news if you cant wait for the iPhone 6: thats not coming for a few months, so if you want something shiny and new from Apple now, youll either need to go for the iPhone 5S (which is still a decent phone) or one of the plethora of high end Android handsets. If that still doesnt help, well, theres always our extensive mobile phone reviews pages as well or check out our personally crafted smartphone buyers guide:
