| 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. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | The Motorola Droid
Razr Maxx proves that a powerful Android superphone can remain thin yet still promise marathon-worthy battery life. | Motorola’s lovely new
Droid Razr HD is fast and thin, but its weak camera should make mobile shutterbugs wary. |
