Summer
Holiday is underway and I think you may have planned to get a new smartphone,
or decide to get one as a back-to-school gift.
1. Samsung Galaxy S III
This
is Samsung's flagship smartphone for the rest of 2012, as it offers just about
everything one could want in a cutting-edge Android handset -- including a
number of notcable improvments over its predecessor. It sports a 4.8-inch
display, the latest version of Google's Android OS, 4G, and plenty more.

2. HTC One X
The
One X has a range of high-end features, including a very large display, 4G,
high-res camera, much more. It was the first handset released by HTC with
Android OS 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
There
are actually two versions of this smartphone. The U.S. one supports AT&T's
4G LTE network but has a dual-core processor. The international (European)
version has a quad-core processor but no LTE.

but it is a powerful device that is a bit smaller than the One X.

7. Samsung Galaxy Note
Thanks
to its 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy Note skirts the line between
smartphone and tablet. It also has a stylus. This device runs Android OS 2.3,
but an upgrade to OS 4.0 is in development The Note includes a rear-facing 8MP
camera plus a 2MP front-facing camera that enables video conferencing when on

9. Samsung Focus 2
The
Samsung Focus 2 has an entry-level price but is a cut above most entry-level
phones, making it a viable option for those seeking a bargain on a Windows
Phone with 4G LTE. It is available from AT&T.
10. Apple iPhone 4S
The
fifth-generation iPhone wasn't what many had expected, but it's nevertheless
selling very well. It's a moderately-updated version of its predecessor, with a
1GHz dual-core processor and an 8 megapixel camera. The Retina screen and
over-all design of the handset have not changed. The device is available from
AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
