| Bottom line | As the first U.S. phone with Ice Cream Sandwich, Verizon's
Samsung Galaxy Nexus takes a coveted, solitary step forward. However, once other premium handsets receive the updated Android OS, the Galaxy Nexus will lose some of its competitive edge. | 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 Motorola Droid
Razr Maxx proves that a powerful Android superphone can remain thin yet still promise marathon-worthy battery life. | With quad-core power, 4G LTE, a lovely 5-inch screen, and a stunning design, the $199.99
HTC Droid DNA is currently Verizon's best Android deal. |
