10-Nexus 6
Review
This phone is a "monster" as it has a huge 6 inch screen and is a top spec phone built by motorola. It is googles flagship phone that launches with the latest android operating system lollipop and gets all the updates of andriod before anyone else. This phone has some good advantages other your other mobiles as it is made for wireless charging which allows you receive high speeds of charging. The phone is said to charge over "3x faster than a regular charge" which is pretty impressive. It is called a "Super sized Moto X" but this isn't ecstasy the best of ideas to make a super sized phone as it will require most people to have to use the phone with two hands its not "practical".
Their is not anything special with the phones operating system as it just runs stock android it dose not has you likes of "Cyanogen" or "Sense" its a basic version of android which isn't all that bad it just means that you don't get special features of customisation. The new Nexus has a nice clean design with aluminium frame and a slated back that has a very similar look and design to the Galaxy S3 however it has passive keys instead on buttons although you can change this in the settings so that you can use the buttons on or off display. Display on the Nexus 6 is an impressive attribute of the phone as it is sharp crystal clear and one of the best quality displays on the mobile market. The resolution is 1440 x 2560 pixels and 493 PPI in that department it could be slightly better as you would think the PPI would be higher due to the screen being 6 inches moving on. This Nexus has a 13 megapixel dual LED camera that can take some fine pictures as you can see from these samples below. |
These images are pretty decent you can get some good focus shots with the camera as you can see. Video on this phone is outstanding when you have 4K active although it dose take lots of storage recording and drains your battery. Have a look at the sample below to look at the 4K judge it yourself. It is like as if its recorded TV it is of that high a quality.
Front facing camera is not anything special and is probably one of the worst flagship front facing cameras as the images are ver low quality at only 2 megapixel. Performance with this phone is probably one of the best just on daily usage although apps can take a fair wait to open when launched it is the best for multitasking as it is the fastest as proven in this speed test by phone buff who speed test all the latest mobiles when using daily usage on a mobile in short tests.
Snapdragon is the best mobile processor out there and the specs of this phone having 2700 MHz of Quad Core means its performance is limitless it can handle anything even when having many applications opened at once with the RAM of 3072 MB its not an issue performance performs very high. Graphic wise this phone has a high quality for gaming perfectly fine easily playable. Additionally this phone is a gaming "benchmark" for android along with the likes of the Z3 and Note 4.
Battery is huge to supply this "monster" of a phone with the energy it needs. It has a 3220 mAh battery which is twice the ammount of a standard phone battery. The fact that this phone has rapid charging makes it even better as 3x faster charging is essential when having to use your phone daily using it many hours. Also the concept is cool that you can just tap your phone against a magnet and it will charge for you it is one of the best things about the phone as 90% of phones don't have that inability it is an major advantage to heavy users. Storage is large for a phone that is as it has 32GB of storage some phones still only contain 8 GB or 16 GB its a huge difference especially when you are a gamer downloading mobile games that could be 2.4 GB like "Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic" is.
Overall this is a great phone but only if your a pituitary kind of person who wants the latest updates, the bigger screen,wireless charging, dose not mind having to use two hands,paying big price and use stock android then its perfect. The phone is made for quite a restricted to its target audience this is one of the main reasons it is placed at number 10 as it maybe a monster but its so huge it dose make it a negative as if it had of been 5.5 inches it would most likely be in either the Top 5 or Top 3 as its got great screen,powerful performance, an elegant camera but it isn't the perfect package.

9-Nokia Lumia 930
Review
This windows phone is hands down the most up to date of its kind. It is a flagship phone that is worthy as a budget phone as it is not the price of regular flagships but is a higher price than your standard phones e.g the Samsung mini series.It happens to very useful if you are a user of windows as the phone interacts with all windows devices just like apples iPhone and i mac.And it also has a large storage capacity of 32 gb.
This 5 inch display is 1080 x 1920 with a high ppi of 441 making the phone have one of the sharpest displays their is out their in the mobile market. Nokia have provided this phone with one of the best smartphone cameras with 20 megapixel Dual LED camera, AS WE KNOW NOKIA OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS HAVE BEEN MAKING THEIR PHONES SPECIALIZED FOR PHOTOGRAPHY. This phone is not as good for photography as the likes of the 41 megapixel Lumia 1020 but dose provide the user with 4k video recording which is the highest quality available right now. However the front facing camera is a very low 1.2 megapixel which means that your pictures wont really be of much use on the front facing. here is some samples taken on this phone to give you a perceptive of the quality of the camera. |
As you can see the images that are sampled here are very clear and the attention to detail is explicit it is certainly great at taking snaps on and off the go. Below is a sample of Victoria falls being shot in the 4k camcorder.
Video quality is excellent and it is all quality you can tell that this phone is truly made for photography lovers. Performance on the 930 is good and is better than your average but it is not anything special when put to the test with the htc one m8. It is still pretty fast but performance wise with speed their are quite a few better options although it is the best for windows mobiles. The reason for the performance speed not being as good as a lot of other flagships is the processor just being over 2gb and the RAM is only 2gb but it is still very good as the highest spec flagship of 2014 is 3gb of ram and 8 core 1900 MHz AND THIS PHONE IS QUAD CORE however even with 8 core the performance is neck and neck with other quad core processors.
Graphics on the lumia is provided by Adreno who are one of the best graphical mobile platforms. This makes the phone crisp and clear throughout all aspects as the display is of very high quality and is also throughout any performance as well as the camera is great the display is great and the graphics is great. Moving on to the battery of the phone is has a 2420 mAh battery providing the phone with one of the best battery out their for a mobile the best one that is out thier however is 3220 mAh but still it is top notch. Storage is huge with 32 GB MINIMUM WHICH IS PLENTY OF STORAGE FOR YOUR AVERAGE CONSUMER. this IS A FAIRLY SPECIAL PHONE AS IT IS ONE OF VERY FEW THAT HAS WIRELESS CHARGING ENABLED which makes charging so much faster and easier and is truly a great feature.
Overall this phone is certainly a flagship as it is beautiful with it's graphical interface and display it's made for photographers. The screen is a big enough size being 5 inch's and provides enough power for the user with it's performance and has a good battery life and large storage capacity. It has wireless charging making it a unique phone I think one of the only reasons that this phone is rated as the 9th best is because the windows operating system is not for everyone and can be a little tricky to get into it inst the exactly user friendly with it's complexity.
