| Bottom line | Though the Optimus Vu fits into the novel "phablet" category, forking over $900 for any Gingerbread phone isn't worth it, no matter what the screen size. | The Motorola Droid
Razr Maxx proves that a powerful Android superphone can remain thin yet still promise marathon-worthy battery life. | Samsung's Rugby Pro makes a good, affordable choice for people seeking a more rugged smartphone, but it won't satisfy those who need an ultradurable frame. | With its lightning-quick CPU, newest
Android version, great touch screen, and NFC chip, the LG Optimus 4X HD is firing on all cylinders. | Despite weak software, the Samsung Galaxy Beam's bright
projector pushes boundaries, and strong smartphone features make it a worthy standalone device. |
