[h=3]#13 Samsung Galaxy Note 3[/h]

AP
Samsung popularized the "phablet" category with the Galaxy Note more than two years ago. Now the phone is in its third generation with the Galaxy Note 3.
The Galaxy Note 3 has the biggest screen yet, 5.7 inches, yet its body is actually thinner and lighter than the last model. It also comes with a special stylus called the S Pen for drawing or taking notes.
But unless you really need a new Galaxy Note right away, you should wait. Samsung recently unveiled the successor, the Galaxy Note 4. That phone will launch in a few weeks.

Price: Around $516





[h=3]#12 Nokia Lumia 1020[/h]

Nokia
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has been the company's flagship phone for well over a year now. But it's about to be replaced by the newer Lumia 830. Still, it's a well-loved device among Windows Phone fans. It also has a really nice camera.
Price: Around $610, only on AT&T





[h=3]#11 Nokia Lumia 1520[/h]

Business Insider
The Lumia 1520 is the first Windows Phone phablet ever made. It has a huge 6-inch screen, which gives you extra room for more apps and Live Tiles on your home screen. If you like Windows Phones and want a giant screen, this is your best option.

Price: Around $585, only on AT&T





[h=3]#10 HTC One M8 For Windows[/h]

Steve Kovach/Business Insider
The HTC One M8 For Windows is the best phone you can buy running the Windows Phone operating system. It has a gorgeous metal body and the new version of Windows Phone, 8.1, which includes the excellent digital assistant Cortana.
It's only available on Verizon for now, but will come to AT&T and T-Mobile later this year.

Price: Around $600, only on Verizon





[h=3]#9 iPhone 5S[/h]

William Wei, Business Insider
Apple's iPhone 5S may be over a year old, but it's still a really good phone, especially if you don't want a bigger screen. If you want a great iPhone experience at a discount, get the iPhone 5S. However, if you want the best experience, you're better off spending the extra $100 on an iPhone 6.

Price: Starts at $549





[h=3]#8 LG G3[/h]

Lisa Eadicicco/ Business Insider
LG's current flagship, the G3, has one of the sharpest displays ever put on a smartphone. It's also massive thanks to its 5.5-inch display. That makes the G3 more like a phablet than a standard smartphone.
It's a good Android phone, but LG put the power and volume keys on the back of the device, which is pretty awkward.

Price: Around $599





[h=3]#7 Google Nexus 5[/h]

Nexus 5
Google's current flagship phone is the Nexus 5, which was made in partnership with LG.
Like all of Google's Nexus devices, the Nexus 5 runs a pure version of Android, meaning you won't find any modifications to the software. It also gets software updates much faster than other Android phones. But perhaps the best part is the value. You can get the Nexus 5 unlocked for about half the price as other top-tier smartphones.
The only downside: the camera isn't that great.

Price: $349 unlocked from Google. Works on AT&T, T-Mobile, and several other international carriers.





[h=3]#6 Samsung Galaxy S5[/h]

Steve Kovach/Business Insider
Samsung's latest flagship phone, the Galaxy S5, is a nice improvement over last year's phone. Instead of weighing the device down with a bunch of unnecessary features, Samsung focused on improving the stuff people care about the most. The Galaxy S5 has the best screen ever made for a smartphone. The camera is really good, too.
But if you don't like phones made out of plastic, you should probably look for something else.

Price: Around $610





[h=3]#5 OnePlus One[/h]

Steve Kovach/Business Insider
What if you could get a smartphone with a huge 5.5-inch screen, great software, and zippy internal specs that rival the best smartphones?
That's what Chinese startup OnePlus did with its new flagship phone, the One. The OnePlus One only costs $300 unlocked, which is much cheaper than other premium phones like the iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S5, which can cost $650 or more.
The downside? Supplies are extremely limited and you need an invitation from a current OnePlus One owner to buy the phone.

Price: $300 unlocked. Works on T-Mobile or AT&T.





[h=3]#4 Moto X[/h]

Business Insider/ Lisa Eadicicco
Motorola's new Moto X, which just launched in September, is a strong contender for best Android phone. Similar to Google's Nexus 5, the Moto X runs a nearly clean version of Android, meaning you get software updates a lot faster. The phone also looks really nice and has a 5.2-inch display.

Price: Around $500





[h=3]#3 HTC One (M8)[/h]

Steve Kovach/Business Insider
HTC's flagship phone, the HTC One (M8), is the best Android phone you can buy.
Like the original, the new HTC One, which is also called the M8, has a gorgeous design and high-quality metal construction. It also has an extra rear camera that acts as a depth sensor so you can edit photos later and change the focus.

Price: Around $540





[h=3]#2 iPhone 6 Plus[/h]

Business Insider
If you want a phablet, the iPhone 6 Plus is the best phone you can buy. Unlike other phablets that can be thick, chunky, and plasticky, the iPhone 6 Plus is thin, gorgeous, and made of metal. It doesn't feel like you're lugging around a giant phone.

Price: Starts at $749





[h=3]#1 iPhone 6[/h]

Steven Tweedie
The iPhone 6 is the best smartphone. Unless you really like using Android or Windows Phones, the iPhone 6 should be your first choice.
Why? It's the perfect mix of design, hardware specs, and app selection. Apple also finally caught up to its competitors by adding a larger screen to the iPhone 6. It's 4.7 inches, up from the 4-inch screen on the iPhone 5S.

Price: Starts at $649





[h=3]BONUS: Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 is coming soon.[/h]

Business Insider/ Lisa Eadicicco
Samsung's new phablet, the Galaxy Note 4, launches in the US on October 14. It has the same size screen (5.7 inches) as last year's model, but the resolution is much sharper. It also has a metal band around the edge, which makes it feel better in the hand.

[h=3]BONUS: Samsung's Note Edge has a curved screen and will launch in the fall.[/h]

Business Insider/Lisa Eadicicco
The Note Edge is similar to the Galaxy Note 4, but it has a secondary screen on the side that changes depending on what app you're using. The "edge" screen can also display information like news updates and other notifications when the rest of the screen is switched off.
Samsung hasn't said when the Note Edge will launch, but it will likely be a limited release later this fall.





[h=3]BONUS: BlackBerry's next phone, the Passport, will surely appeal to the company's faithful.[/h]

BlackBerry
Any BlackBerry fans still out there? You're probably excited for the Passport, BlackBerry's upcoming flagship phone. It has a physical keyboard and a squarish, 4.5-inch screen.
BlackBerry will sell the Passport unlocked for $599 soon. Unfortunately, early reviews aren't very good.






[h=3]BONUS: Google's new Nexus phone is coming any day now.[/h]

Android Police
Google's next phone, the so-called Nexus 6, has leaked a bunch of times over the last few weeks. This time, it looks like Google partnered with Motorola to build its flagship phone. The Nexus 6, which will reportedly have a huge 6-inch screen, seems like a super-sized version of the Moto X.
Google is expected to formally unveil the Nexus 6 later in October.

Iphone must lead, unless anae rank awe mchina.

hivi karibuni unaonekana kutaka kujiunga na mambo ya windows. vipi iphone zimekuchosha?




swali kwa yeyote yule. Hivi operating system inaweza kuwa sababu ya simu za lumia kushika mkia? au specifications ni tatizo?

kaka hazishiki mkia bali simu zimekua nyingi. ukirank kiasilimia itaonekana mauzo ya lumia yapo chini na 3% yao. ila kwa unit wanaship zaidi ya 10 milion units kila miezi 3 na units zaidi ya milioni 40 kwa mwaka.

lumia zinauza zaidi kuliko sony, htc, motorola etc na ukitoa soko la china ni za 3 nyuma ya iphone na samsung au za nne am not sure mauzo ya lg yapoje kiukanda

operamini ni operamini, engine yake haipo kwenye simu ipo kwenye server za opera simu zote zenye opera zinakuwa na nguvu sawa tu. ila still opera ya wp ni beta ina bugs kadhaa ikiwemo ku crash. sasa hivi muonekano wake ni wa kawaida kama opera ya java au android ila utachange soon kwenye simu zote hizo

kaka kama hupendi tiles usinunue windows phone, why ununue kitu ambacho hukipendi? tiles ndio inayoifanya windows phone kuwa tofauti na ios na android then ukizitoa kuna maana gani? though unaweza kuzi customize zikawa tofauti kabisa.

ukumbuke tile za wp sio app launcher tu kama icon za ios na android bali ni live tiles, zinakupa information bila kufungua app husika kama matokeo ya mpira, habari, storage ya simu, idadi ya mb zilizobaki kwenye kifurush nk

Iphone 6 plus iko vizuri kuliko iphone 6. Sielewi kwa nini hapa imerank chini ya 6

nadhani factor ni popularity. iphone 6 ni popular than 6p. 6p ni kubwa mno.

btw hii rank ime expire, kwa mimi naona;
1. galaxy s6 na galaxy s6 edge
2, iphone 6
3, note 4
4 htc m9
5, lg g3

 

[Ficus]

Kuikosa brand hata moja ya sony kwenye list nzima ni ishara kwamba hii list si ya kweli!

Basi asingesema the best smartphones angeita the most popular. Simu ya 5.5" siyo kubwa kiasi cha kusema ni mbaya kuliko simu ambayo imeizidi specs zote. Bado nasisitiza kama suala ni best smartphones, iphone 6 plus lazima iwe juu ya iphone. The list is outdated anyway

Nilikuwa natumia windows. Nimehamia iphone last year mwishoni.

Nitarudi windows kama simu ya pili pia kama watatoa flagship ya maana.

Hapana sidhani kwa sababu bado in dalili za jitter, shutter lag ukiinstall vitu vingi, labda galaxy s6 inaweza ikawa lag-free, ina touchwiz mpya iliyopunguzwa uzito na chip mpya ya exynos.
