| Bottom line | The
iPhone 4S isn't the king of cell phones, but it's part of the royal family nonetheless. Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyone ready to upgrade. | Its laundry list of features require time and effort to truly master, but the
Galaxy S4 is the top choice for anyone looking for a big-screen, do-everything smartphone. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | Info unavailable |
