Seven Smartphones You’ll Want to Own this Year

If you’re in the market for a new smartphone you could spend hours pouring through the hundreds of options out there, answering a bewildering series of questions, like what operating system should I choose? What size display? Do I go for Apple or Android? 

But we’re here to take that pain away and make it all delightfully simple. The truth is, if you’ve got the money, there are barely more than a fistful of phones you should even consider.  Here are the seven smartphones worthy of being the next piece of tech in your pocket.

Apple iPhone 6

Although Apple’s latest handset joined this roster late last year, it’s still one of the best smartphones you can buy right now. 

Apple implemented a ground-up redesign of the iPhone giving it a 4.7-inch display, a smoother body shape and a luscious brushed metal housing. 

Some don’t like the size jump but paired with the latest iOS 8 software, a cracking new 8MP camera and an all powerful A8 chipset set up you’d struggle to go wrong with the iPhone 6.

HTC One M9

HTC has received some stick for not innovating with the HTC One M9, and it’s true the design hasn’t changed much since last year’s M8, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a gorgeous looking smartphone.

With a 5-inch 1080p display, luxury feel metal uni-body and a top of the class quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor paired with 3GB of RAM you’re winning.

Add in a 20.7MP sensor and awesome camera software to back it up and you’ve got one of the best smartphones out there right now.
