  1. 1 Apple iPhone 5
  2. 2 HTC One X
  3. 3 Samsung Galaxy S III
  4. 4 Samsung Galaxy Note II
  5. 5 Motorola DROID RAZR M
Apple's iPhone 5 features an attractive hardware design as well as 4G LTE connectivity on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon here in the U.S. While iOS itself is starting to show its age compared to other platforms out there, the quality of apps available to users on iOS is high. Next up is the HTC One X, whose design I'm a big fan of. (Especially when... - read on...

  3. 3 Samsung Galaxy Nexus (global)
  4. 4 HTC One X
  5. 5 Apple iPhone 4S
The iPhone 5 tops my list because, to me, it's the best 'overall' smartphone, for any consumer out there.

It's another week of expert voting and this time around I was a little hard pressed determining what phone should take the number one spot. My own personal affection still has the iPhone 5 taking the top spot, but the Note II is sliding right into the two spot with ease. I love everything about the iPhone 5, after a little bit of awkwardness... - read on...

  5. 5 Apple iPhone 4S
Although the DROID RAZR series has been updated this week, I'm not convinced by either of them. Compared to all five of my top picks, the displays are just not up to scratch. The iPhone 5 is the ultimate device, in terms of display/camera quality, fit and finish (build quality) and all-round user experience. For the average consumer, there's not... - read on...
