Apple's iPhone 5 features an attractive hardware design as well as 4G LTE connectivity on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon here in the U.S. The iPhone 5 is also offered on C Spire Wireless and Cricket Wireless. Apple's iOS is starting to show its age, but the quality of apps available in the App Store is high. The iPhone 5 also features an... - read on...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 was a favorite this week after the Google I/O announcement of stock Android being brought to the S4. It really increased my opinion towards the device in a positive aspect. After all, I have strong negating feelings for the S4 in terms of build quality, but the software side will gradually increase with the S4 feature stock... - read on...

At this point, I'm still hopeful that another set of devices will knock some of my top 5 long-time staples out of the mix, but for now it looks like another week of familiar faces. Well, I did add the Lumia 928 into the top five this week as it launches on Verizon because it's a top tier Windows Phone 8 device that deserves some love. As Windows... - read on...

A new week, and new devices. As has been for a while now, the iPhone 5 still tops my list. I am an Apple person all around, using a MacBook Air as my travel computer and an iMac as my desktop choice. Due to this, the integration that iCloud brings with syncing everything from my Pages documents to my Safari tabs makes me go back to the iPhone... - read on...

The iPhone 5 still holds the top spot, with its industrial design, beautiful 4-inch display, and the marriage between hardware and software. Add that with the iTunes Store and App Store, and the iPhone is the perfect device for someone who wants a wealth of software applications. HTC's One is a close second. The hardware is easily the best... - read on...

Having had an entire week with the Galaxy S4, I've come away liking it a lot more than I expected to. The display is incredible, and fitting a 5-inch panel in to such a relatively small chassis really takes away any distraction from anything but what's on screen. In comparison, almost every other phone now looks like it has a fat frame around it.... - read on...

My rankings this week finally get changed up a little bit, but not my much seeing as my list is still primarily Android with the introduction of the Sony Xperia Z to the list - one of my favorite smartphones to come out this year. On the top of my list is still the HTC One, which I still believe is ever-so-slightly better than the Galaxy S 4 (but... - read on...
