    The 200-300 euro bracket was bombarded by Xperia phones.

    Why did they not mention the Xperia ZR?

    I hope Nokia will make a 5-inch phone with the Lumia 1520s specs. Now that will be a phone to be exited about. Although I hope microsoft keeps on adding more apps and features to their OS.

              Forget all the top phones, Nokia Lumia 1520 is the best, even though its large but its easy to get use to it.
              Everyone that sees that phone they always amazed to find what phone is that... yes its YELLOW and its a Lumia 1520.
              Nokia Here Drive+ beats Google Maps hands down!

                        Good to see recommendations for Windows Phone devices. Lumia 520 is killing it in the low ends. WP is looking better and better every quarter.

                          Oh wow. The Note 3's con is it has no Office suite out of the box? You can download Polaris 5 for free at the Samsung store. The picture and video editor can also be downloaded for free.

                          It seems there isn't a major con you can find about the Note 3.

                            I dont get it. The Blackberry Z10 is the best value on the market at the moment by a long shot yet it is not mentioned. I have a Z30 which has probably the best sound, reception and security of any mobile yet it is not mentioned. Why? And dont say apps, games, or not 20 core or whatever. What is really needed is a proper investigation of personal information gathering with Android in particular.

                                  I have s4. The amount of lag is frustrating. It's a good phone but Samsung just cares about more bloatware that lacks quality and smoothness. Great looking phone but in practice it's full of flaws. The worst of all is Samsung's customer service. They just don't do anything when you have a problem. I hate iphone but I guess apple deserves to be the best selling brand, since their service is no.1.
