3. Sony Xperia Z

With the increasing demand of smartphones, we have seen that new flagships are coming day by day. In this battle, Sony also has a great reputation in the smartphone market. Due to this, I've choosen their latest release, Sony Xperia Z, for the third place in this competition. The feature, so far, I've seen in this smartphone is that it is water & dust proof.

The phone feels solid and you'd be hard-pressed to describe any part of it as plasticky. Between those mirrored sides, you'll find Sony's first 1080p phone display, measuring five inches and benefiting from the company's new Bravia Mobile Engine 2. Improvements to the Xperia line aren't merely cosmetic, though: Sony's added a 13-megapixel camera (featuring the HDR video-capable Exmor RS sensor) and a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro Qualcomm's most potent mobile processor currently available.

2. Samsung Galaxy S4

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the most hotly anticipated smartphone ever from the Korean brand, and with a glut of top end features, it's the most powerful and desirable device Samsung has created yet. One of the most impressive things about the phone is the fact the size hasn't changed from its predecessor - the Galaxy S4 comes in at 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 inches), meaning there's no extra heft to try to work with in your palm.

However, despite this fact, the screen on the S4 has been increased once more, to a whopping 5-inch display with Full HD resolution. This means the same amount of pixels you'd have seen on a TV that cost well over £1,000 four years ago is now riding around in your pocket. It is powered with octa-core 1.9 GHz processor, 2GB of RAM & features 13 MP camera. It is the most powerful smartphone from Samsung till date that is why it comes at number 2 in this competition.

HTC is having a tradition of introducing new technology. Like the first touchscreen phone, the first smartphone & the first android phone all were introduced by HTC. Keeping this tradition once again HTC has introduced its best smartphone ever, HTC One. This phone has so many great features which we have never seen before.

It's got a full HD screen crammed into 4.7-inches, which brings a 468ppi - well above what's needed for the eye to discern, and it does definitely bring sumptuous sharpness throughout the use of the phone.

On top of that there's a CPU and RAM combo that is barely bettered, a more-than-enough 32GB of storage and top-end Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G / 4G connections, all topped off by a completely re-imagined version of HTC Sense. Its 4 MP camera (looks small but remember that HTC named it as 4 ultra pixel) captures much better images than any other device.
