HTC One X+

The HTC One X’s smarter brother is now the golden child of the HTC family boasting a fast, quadcore processor for smooth  operation and gaming plus a massive 64GB of storage. With an excellent 8-megapixel rear-facing camera capable of 1080p full HD video and the latest HTC Image tricks the One X+ might need charging every day but it is still one of the current Android smartphone greats.

Motorola RAZR  MAXX

Having recently revived its iconic Razr line, Motorola has set about solving one of the biggest bugbears of modern smartphones: crappy battery life. The Razr Maxx’s 3,300mAh battery gives it 17 hours 40 minutes of talk time. This is at the cost of a slight girth boost, but at 8.99mm deep it’s hardly obese. The 4.3-inch Super AMOLED, eight-meg camera and 1.2GHz dualcore processor of the standard Razr are all present.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The second coming of the screen that feels like a tablet, the Note 2 brandishes a larger 5.5-inch 1280x720 AMOLED display and comes with a more intuitive and accurate S-Pen. It’s got a great 8-Megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p shooting capability, and with a 1.6GHz quadcore processor and 2GB of RAM can handle the Note 2’s impressive multitasking prowess.
