| Bottom line | Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs
Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | 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. | Sony's pricey, stylish Xperia S is packed with multimedia tricks but is undone by a slow processor and lackluster display. | Nokia's
Lumia 920 is heavy and thick, but if you want the most powerful, feature-rich Windows phone available, this is it. |
