| Bottom line | The LG Optimus T is one of the best entry-level smartphones you can buy, with a feature set that is on par with devices more than twice its price. | The reasonable $80 price tag, dual-core processor, and
Android 4.0, make the LG Optimus L9 a reliable midlevel handset for T-Mobile users. | 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. | 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. |
