| Bottom line | With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the
Samsung Galaxy Note is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory. Those who like their screens XL will find a top-notch device that lets multimedia shine. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but for some, the phone will just simply be too big. | 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. |
