We’re currently in the month of February, and that means it is time to get a new smartphone to kick off the new year or to gift one to your loved one this Valentines Day. At the moment, there are several devices available on Amazon for all the top network operators in the United States, and we are going to take a look at the best of the bunch.
Not the best smartphone of 2014, but the Galaxy S5 should still be seen as a worthy competitor. The device comes with a massive 5.1-inch full 1080p AMOLED display. Colors pop vibrantly though sometimes it can be too sharp for those who might prefer a true to life experience.
When it comes down to the camera, this beauty of a phone packs a 16-megapixel sharpshooter. The best thing about the camera is not the amount of megapixels it brings to the table, but its super-fast autofocus.
Other specs include a 2.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage.
The LG G3 is probably the best smartphone to be released in 2014. It is everything the Galaxy S5 should have been, but, unfortunately, the device did not get the recognition it deserved from consumers.
The handset comes with a 5.5″ Quad HD (2560 x 1440) display. Furthermore, there’s a 13-megapixel sharpshooter at the rear with OIS. This means when taking a picture or video, the lens is stabilized, so there should be no shaky-cam videos or blurry images.
It’s a great smartphone and should be picked up by anyone looking to own the best device available right now.
The Note series continues its dominance in the phablet market with the Note 4. Let’s be honest here, there’s not a single phablet available on the market that can compete with the Note 4 because it is the best value for the dollar.
On the inside, it is rocking a 2.7GHz quad-core processor and 3GB of RAM. On the outside, the device has an impressive 5.7 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, and a 16-megapixel camera at the rear.
The Windows Phone operating system might not be the on par with Android or iOS, but we cannot pretend as if the Lumia 1520 is not a great piece of hardware. This handset is the last high-end smartphone designed by Nokia before the company was swallowed by Microsoft.

Nokia did a splendid job with the 6-inch display, along with the 20-megapixel camera that takes excellent photos and videos. The handset is the first of the Windows Phone line to come with a quad-core processor and a massive 3400 mAh battery. If you have no problem with the Windows Phone operating system, then this phablet is a must have.
Great phone by HTC, and probably the best design of 2014, and we are taking about both the phone itself and the user interface.
Fans of Android will love the 5-inch full 1080p display and quad-core processor. However, the dual Ultrapixel cameras might be a turn-off. They do not take great pictures, but for uploading to social media, the images are quite fine.
We’d prefer if HTC added a better camera, but the company seems to have faith in its Ultrapixel technology despite the complaints of fans.
