| Bottom line | The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a significant step forward in mobile gaming, but it suffers from key hardware limitations. | AT&T's Sony Ericsson Xperia Play 4G is ideal for gamers, but we'd prefer to see more-accurate controls, a few more features, and a faster data network. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | Nokia's
Lumia 920 is heavy and thick, but if you want the most powerful, feature-rich Windows phone available, this is it. | The Motorola Droid X makes another fine addition to Verizon's
Android family, bringing with it a rich multimedia experience and more connectivity features. |
