Top Five Newest Smartphones

We check out the best high-tech phones in the market and here is our result:

1. Samsung Galaxy Nexus

It doesn't have the 5.3-inch screen of the recently released Galaxy Note, but the Nexus is no lightweight either, boasting a 4.6-inch high-definition screen and 1.2GHz dual core processor. The real attraction, though, is the fact that the Nexus will be the first smartphone to show off the new Android 4.0 software - also known as Ice Cream Sandwich - and will include advanced new features such as face-recognition to unlock the phone.






2. RIM Porsche Design P 9981

RIM really needs a hit to make up for its network downtime last month, and the P'9981 is certainly a looker - as it should be if the rumours about the price are true. Essentially an upmarket version of the Bold 9900, the P'9981 is made out of gleaming stainless steel, wrapped in sleek black leather. The inside of the phone is conventional enough, with a 1.2GHz processor and 2.8-inch touch-screen, but RIM has come up with some fancy new software. This includes as an augmented-reality 'world browser' that can locate fancy restaurants and expensive Porsche dealerships all over the world.

3. HTC Rezound

HTC's latest arrives imminently - but only in the US. The Rezound looks very similar to the Sensation XE that other markets have seen, with a 4.3-inch screen, 1.5GHz processor and the Beats sound system. However, the screen of the Rezound is full 720p high-def and the phone has 16GB of storage compared to the modest 4GB of the Sensation XE. It costs about $650 sim-free in the US, but there's no news yet on whether it'll be released anywhere outside the States.




4.HTC Edge

Apple's only just put a dual-core processor into its new iPhone 4S, but if the rumours on the net are to be believed then HTC is about to go one better - or two better in fact - with a quad-core powerhouse called the Edge. We don't know much more about the rumoured phone yet, but the quad-chip is believed to run at 1.5GHz, and will be accompanied by a 4.7-inch high-def screen and 8MP camera. The new chip is designed by the graphics gurus at nVidia, so you can expect some serious eye-candy when this one arrives


5. Motorola Razr

Motorola hasn't actually announced the launch date of its new Razr, but sites such as Amazon are already taking orders for it so you shouldn't have to wait too long. The Razr is a streamlined marvel, measuring just 7.7mm thick, yet its toughened Gorilla Glass 4.3-inch screen and woven Kevlar back panel give it a quality feel and ensure that it'll cope with the occasional bit of rough treatment. Your emails and contact info are kept safe too, thanks to high-tech encryption techniques, and there's plenty of power from the 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1080p high-def video recording.
