GSMArena smartphone buyer's guide: July 2015

09 July 2015
The summer doesn't always look like the best time to get a new smartphone. Most people have other things on their mind and even the makers are taking a break after a busy start of the season. CES, MWC...

Review with battery description of its capacity in "Mah" is the most seeked information .

Pls give battery more importance ,without which it is a struggle for existence in this digital era.

Thank you.

                            Could you make phone names as links to let us find them easily? Especially in the conclusion page. Thanks for the great work!

                                    You should make this in dollars next because my sucky galaxy s3 is not good and I am NOT translating a buch of euros into dollars. Also, I want to know how much the htc one m9 plus costs.

                                      LOL! Excluding all the iPhones, because Apple will be announcing new ones soon, while including Note 4 and even Note 3, when Samsung will be announcing the Note 5 before Apple's announcement...?

                                      Just sayin....

                                        I would like to see GSM Arena now rank all mobiles on the basis of security, not just price point, looks and hardware. At the moment we have real issues in the world with security of communications. Have you looked at your device and noted just how many applications are open and have access to all your personal information. What is being reported to who and for what purpose. We need to better focus on security, not of games, or on superfluous rubbish apps that have access to your mobile. To me that is the most important issue confronting us all at the moment. Hardware has come on in leaps and bounds. Software tries to be everything to everyone and in the process exposes us all to personal and commercial risks. We need to know just how secure are our mobiles. Who has access to our mobiles through its software. It is not the price value point. It is security.
