4G LTE/HSPA+ 42 capability, a zippy dual-core processor, and a strong 8-megapixel
camera. S Beam is an excellent software enhancement, and the handset's price is
right.

Galaxy S3 is an excellent, top-end phone that's neck and neck with the HTC One
X.

for videos, games, and reading; and its improved stylus aids productivity. A
blazing quad-core processor, a great camera, and strong battery life round

boundary-pushing device that gets a lot right. Yet its complicated features
and high price raise questions about its purpose.

inch screen, and a stunning design, the $199.99 HTC
Droid DNA is currently Verizon's best Android deal.

 The competitively priced LG Nexus 4 delivers a pure and polished
experience with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, it's powered by a snappy quad-core
processor, and it's packed with new photo-editing and camera features.

anyone shopping for an unlocked phone should consider a comparable LTE
handset first.

17. Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD
(Verizon)
 The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD (Verizon) offers fast
performance, a big eye-popping screen, and luxurious design. It also has
great call quality, lots of storage, 4G data speeds, and unbeatable battery
life. Motorola's fast, stylish Droid Razr Maxx HD offers outstanding battery
life, but its camera captures unimpressive images.
