Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Samsung Galaxy Note 4
It may be plastic, but Samsung’s Note 4 remains the king of phablets thanks to its smart stylus integration and the unique ability to run apps side by side on its massive display, not to mention the beastly battery life.

iPhone  6

iPhone 6

A modest screen size bump is what we all wanted and finally got with the iPhone 6, but Apple’s bad boy is so much more besides. Its camera is astonishing, its performance almost unparalleled and iOS 8 brings some much needed customisability options Android fans have enjoyed for years.

iPhone 6Plus

You know what they said about big hands...tiny iPhone. Not anymore though: Apple’s phablet is the first true Galaxy Note contender, and far more beautiful, even if it lacks a stylus. Just ignore all the bendgate rumours, this thing’s as solid as you could hope for.

LG G3

LG G3

LG’s spent years trying to tempt Samsung owners away with its Android warhorses, and in 2014 it finally found its thoroughbred. The LG G3 is an absolute boss of a smartphone, with a blazingly fast processor and that quad-HD screen that packs in as many pixels as atoms (Well, not quite. But it’s sharp). It may not be the most attractive phone of the year, but when it’s almost all screen, who
cares?

HTC One M8

HTC One M8

It’s not without its problems - not least the name - but the HTC One M8 is surely the most beautiful Android phone of the year, with its delicious curved metal frame. Its camera still isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and we’d trade out the astonishing speakers for a smaller bezel on top and bottom, but no other manufacturer bar Apple thinks quite so much about industrial design and polish,or sets the bar so high. Speaking which.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

Sony xperia Z3 Compact

Want something as powerful, beautiful and manageable as a smaller iPhone 5S or 5, that doesn’t run iOS? In 2014, your only real choice is the Android-powered Z3 Compact, but luckily it’s a doozy. Sony’s somehow managed to cram in almost all the hardware of its Z3 flagship, as well as its water resistance and magnetic charging, into something you can actually use with one                                                                                                               hand. Remember when that used                                                                                                               to be a thing?
