The best phones with Windows Phone the moment

The current market for smartphones is cornered by Android and iOS, but Windows Phone continues to climb positions. The secret of its success terminals are cheap but with good looks, and an operating system that ensures that even the lowest possible hardware will fully fluid.

Here you can see the collection of the best Windows phones of the moment, divided into categories so that you easier to choose your terminal. All often share be made with polycarbonate premium house brand (resistant, interchangeable covers and in which fingerprints are not), with Clear Black display technology and cameras that even the low-end models take pictures better than anyone competition at the same price. Even Carl Zeiss optics and optical image stabilization have reached the mid-range Lumia 830.

Windows 10
After the summer will begin to get the upgrade to Windows 10, and is an update that Microsoft will all current phones with Windows Phone 8.1. No Lumia will be left behind and outdated.

Of course, since Microsoft ensure that phones with 512 MB may suffer a cut in the support some features, but are determined by concrete terminals rather than a limitation depending on the amount of memory on the phone.

Economic
The advantage of Windows Phone on Android is that the operating system allows a maximum advantage of the hardware, and in comparison, a terminal with "only" 512MB of RAM work as fluid as a 1GB Android phone. The difference lies in developing applications in C, a programming language optimized, Java against his feature "same code multiple platforms" has always weighed her performance.

The Lumia 532 is a pretty complete phone for the low end. With Windows Phone fluidity that provides this type of phones, with 1 GB of RAM and Snapdragon 200 processor has more than enough not to disappoint any user who wants a cheap phone for calls, surf the Internet, use WhatsApp and other tasks basic.

The Lumia 630 is a great terminal with which to enjoy Windows Phone 8.1, with the most useful assistant Cortana and other improvements. It is a fluid terminal, and that being Windows Phone hardware works best with a "less" powerful. A great phone for beginner’s smartphones or Windows Phone.


It is quite ergonomic, has a design that I like Nokia, housing and high quality plastic comes in multiple colors (usual in the Finnish company). It is suitable for those who want a safe and secure terminal and access to the services of Microsoft. Currently has little to envy of Android or iOS.

9. Google Nexus 6

After the success of the Nexus 5, Google was expected to "break the market" with the new model in the series.

The Nexus 6 has a screen of 5.95 inches, its resolution is qHD (2560 x 2160 pixels) and one of its strengths is its Snapdragon 805 processor, with 3GB of RAM and at least 32GB storage (but not including reader microSD) card Your camera has 13 megapixels (which does not improve previous models) and the main "but" you can put the device is its battery as it only provides about 8 hours of autonomy.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 against the Galaxy S5 should upgrade your phone?

The Galaxy S6 has already seen the light. It is one of two new models of high-end phones that Samsung has presented at the start of Mobile World Congress. The Galaxy S6 (normal screen, not curved) is the best of the Korean company to improve its image in terms of design and use of materials in phones. He has succeeded.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 against the Galaxy S5 should upgrade your phone?

Design and measurements:
The Galaxy S6 represents, compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S5, a change of air. It presents a fresh and refined design. It is higher than the Galaxy S5, narrower and thinner. It is also less heavy. The plastic is dead for the high-end Samsung. This new model has a whole body made of metal, in the style of Apple or HTC.

The new Galaxy has measures 143.3 x 70.8 x 6.9 mm and weighing 132 grams, while its predecessor boasts measures 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm and weighs 145 grams. The Galaxy S6 is then thirteen grams lighter than the Galaxy S5.

Display:
The interesting thing about the new measures is that Samsung has managed to adapt to these new dimensions a screen of 5.1 inches, ie, the same size as the Galaxy S5. Although in both mobile screen is the same size in the new phone integrate a higher resolution?

The Galaxy S5 had a good "display" Super AMBLED of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels with a density of 432 pixels per inch. The Galaxy S6 is set to the height of the Galaxy Note 4, which boasts a spectacular display. The new smartphone from Samsung has a Super AMBLED screen QuadHD 2560 x 1440 pixels with a density of 577 pixels per inch.

Processor and camera:
Samsung is leaving Communal Snapdragon chip with the Galaxy S6, and has decided to return to the Exons. This model integrates a Exynos 7420 eight-core, combined with 3GB RAM. According to performance tests by "Computer Base", this processor is a beast, that far exceeds its nearest competitors.

As for the camera, but maintains the improved 16MP lens aperture, which is now of f / 1.9. Also incorporates an optical image stabilizer, something that lacked the Galaxy S5, which in theory should improve stability in taking pictures and videos.

It loses ...
The Galaxy S6 has had to sacrifice some of the key aspects of Samsung. For example, the phone memory can not be expanded with microSD cards, as has happened so far. The mobile applies the model that Apple is already an expert: launch several models with different internal capacity, but closed. The Galaxy will enter S6 models: 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. Yes, like much, but for example, the Galaxy S5, a user could purchase the 16 GB version, but extend up to 128 GB with external cards. The Galaxy S6 lose that flexibility.

In line with the "flexibility" for the user is away from the battery. The phone includes a battery of 2,550 mAh, less amperage than the Galaxy S5 (2800 mAh). But it not only lost milamperios, but a battery that can not be removed.

Many users prefer the interchangeable battery Samsung because, instead of waiting to recharge the used battery, a load changed and there was no problem. Samsung wants to solve this problem and has enabled the Samsung S6 function ultra fast wireless charging. The battery charge in 10 minutes enough to use your mobile for four hours energy.


The other feature that loses is the IP67 certification, ie is no longer resistant to dust and water. This was one of the best features of the Galaxy S5 and loses his new brother. The mobile will no longer be submerged in water up to one meter of water for 30 minutes.

The World best HTC One M9 release date, news and rumors

While we don't know anything for sure about the HTC One M9 (other than the fact that it's coming and is probably codenamed Hima), it's going to be a massive deal - will it be the best Android phone of 2015?
Mooted specs include: a QHD display, a Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, a waterproof body and more megapixels in the camera, making the One M9 one of the highest-specification phones on the market.
Updates: A new photo of the phone has appeared, a shot supposedly taken with the camera and a benchmark has given up a number of specs.

Cut to the chase

• What is it? HTC's next flagship smartphone
• When is it out? Launch event set for March 1
• What will it cost? Likely at least £549 / $649 / AU$849

HTC One M9 release date

HTC has sent out invites to an event on March 1 at MWC 2015 in Barcelona, and it's almost certainly going to unveil it's next flagship smartphone here.

One M9 or HTC Utopia?

The invite reads "utopia in progress" - possibly a hint at the name for the flagship phone, or perhaps it's another new camera mode HTC has developed.
What we do know is we'll be there, reporting live on the event so you get all the latest news as it breaks.

News and rumors

The most recent rumors regarding this new phone seem to make the most sense: the HTC One M9 will have an octa core Qualcomm 810 Snapdragon chipset at the heart, according to recent benchmarks - which saw it score over 20% better results compared to the One M8.
This dovetails with rumours from retired leaker @upleaks, saying the new HTC phone will have 3GB of RAM and an octa-core 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor, with four cores running at 2.0GHz and four at 1.5GHz, allowing it to switch between them depending on what it's doing, using the slower cores to conserve battery when the extra power isn't needed.
Further rumors have corroborated and smoothed these early specs: from a source speaking to Bloomberg stated that there will be a 20MP snapper on the back and an UltraPixel one on the front (probably 4 UltraPixels but that's not specified).
The 20MP camera theory has been made ever more likely as a picture, apparently snapped by the One M9, has made its way onto the web, detailing a 16:9 20MP photo.
The source goes on to say that the HTC One M9 / Hima will include Dolby 5.1 audio technology.
A rumor from GforGames states the HTC One M9 might have a MediaTek processor rather than a Qualcomm one, but if it does that will likely be a regional version for China and possibly some other markets but not the whole world.
While it's possible that all versions will sport it we'd be surprised, as MediaTek chips tend to be cheaper and less powerful than Qualcomm's. More likely if this is on the cards at all it will be for developing markets.
Unsurprisingly it's rumored to run Android 5.0 Lollipop but that's hardly a surprise - imagine if it launched on KitKat?
In terms of power, it will apparently have just a 2840 mAh battery, but that's still an upgrade on the One M8's power pack and combined with a more efficient processor it could get the job done, especially as rumors claim HTC will be sticking with a 5-inch 1080p screen, rather than moving to QHD.

Design

With the same size screen as the One M8 comes similar dimensions apparently, as the HTC One M9 is said to be 144.3 x 69.4 x 9.56mm, making it marginally shorter but actually slightly fatter than the 146.4 x 70.6 x 9.4mm HTC One (M8).

However, following the 5.5-inch and 5.0-inch rumors there's now talk that the HTC One M9 could meet them in the middle and have a 5.2-inch screen. That's according to Nowhereelse.fr, which even has images purportedly showing the display panel to back it up.

We also may have got our first real look at the HTC One M9, as two images of an alleged prototype have been sent to Nowhereelse.fr. The images show a device which looks a lot like the HTC One M8 or even the original HTC One, suggesting the company isn't straying far from its existing designs.
The front has speakers above and below the screen, while the back shows a curved metal shell with a camera and a dual-flash, though as the top of the phone has been cut off in the image it's impossible to say whether it's got a second sensor, like on the HTC One M8.

It's also hard to say whether they're accurate. They don't look fake and nor are they an exact match for any existing HTC handset, but they could easily be of an HTC One M8 protoype.

Two day battery life

We were pretty impressed by the battery life of the HTC One M8, but the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2 had it beat, while it looks like the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Xperia Z3 Compact might well widen the gap even further.
So we'd love for the HTC One M9 to have more juice. We don't think two days of battery life should be unrealistic, after all the HTC One M8 and a number of other phones can already comfortably make it into a second day, they just need a bit of a boost to make it to the end of the day.
If HTC can deliver even more than that then great, but we'd be happy with two days, at least until the M10 comes around.

A better camera

The HTC One M8 is great in low light as its lens lets more light in than competing smartphone cameras, but when you're trying to take photos in bright conditions all the extra light it takes in actually seems to work against it, causing the image to over-expose.

On top of that it's only got a 4MP sensor, which is fine when you're just viewing shots on your phone, but blow them up and there'll be noticeable noise.
So ideally we want more megapixels and a sensor which is as adept in bright light as low light. It almost seems like HTC itself might be moving away from UltraPixels, given that the HTC One Mini 2 and the HTC One E8 both have 13MP snappers, so we might well see a big change to the camera in the HTC One M9.

A QHD display

The HTC One M8 has a gorgeous screen, but it's very much an early 2014 screen, as the LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are now bringing QHD (1440 x 2560) displays to the mainstream.
All those extra pixels don't make a huge difference but it is a noticeable one and if the HTC One M9 doesn't have a QHD display then it risks being overlooked, because you can be almost certain that the competition will.

A sapphire screen

Since we're talking about the screen, how about making it with sapphire crystal glass? The HTC One M9 is bound to be expensive, so many people are going to want to put it in a case to keep it protected, but it's also bound to be a thing of beauty so it would be a shame to cover it up.



The more durable it is the less necessary that becomes and a sapphire crystal screen would help a lot. The iPhone 6 didn't have one in the end, so if the HTC One M9 does it could also be the first mainstream smartphone to do so, which would surely be a big selling point.

Water and dust resistance

Another way to keep it protected is with dust and water resistance. We don't need to be able to take it swimming, but knowing that it could survive a spill or a bit of rain would certainly be reassuring and now that Samsung and Sony are both water and dust proofing their phones there's little excuse for HTC not to do the same.

More of a health and fitness focus

The world is going health and fitness mad, or at least that's what many of the latest smartphones and smartwatches would lead you to believe. HTC though doesn't seem so interested and we can't help but feel that it's missing a trick, especially if the market for fitness focused tech continues to grow.
Sure a heart rate monitor and UV sensor are hardly essential components of a smartphone, but we wouldn't say no to them and we'd also be quite happy to see more of a focus on fitness software from HTC, rather than it relying on third party solutions, as HTC has done with the M8 by simply including the Fitbit app. Apple has Health, Samsung has S Health, HTC needs something.

Lots of power

It's reached the point where almost every high end phone and a fair few lower end ones feel fast and powerful, so we don't really need a lot more power in the HTC One M9.
But specs sell and while HTC's flagships are always powerful they're not always quite as powerful as the competition, at least on paper. So next year we hope that changes. Impress us HTC, put in an octa-core Snapdragon 810 with 6GB of RAM, or at least make sure your phone is a match for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Sony Xperia Z4.

An even better design and build

Design is one of the things HTC has done best in recent years, with the One M8 rivalling even Apple's products, but it could still be better.

There's that black bar below the screen for example. On the original HTC One that housed some capacitive buttons, but they've gone from the HTC One M8 so it no longer serves any visible purpose. There may well be some internal reasons for it but we'd love it if HTC could find a way to remove it.
HTC could also improve the buttons, which feel a little plastic on the M8 and we'd rather have the headphone port on the top than the bottom.

More storage

HTC wisely added a microSD card slot to the M8, but we'd still love more internal storage. Apple now offers 128GB iPhones, so why can't an Android phone do the same? And more specifically why can't HTC?
Do that while still including microSD support and we could be looking at a phone with 256GB of combined storage, which is far more than most people are ever likely to need, but we'd rather have too much than too little.

Category 6 LTE

4G is taking off in a big way, but while current phones are equipped to support the fastest speeds we're likely to get in most places right now, they're not particularly future-proofed. That's why we'd like to see HTC put Category 6 LTE support in the HTC One M9.
That would theoretically allow it to reach download speeds of around 300Mbps, which is double what most current handsets can manage and should make it a viable handset right up until 5G arrives.

We only feature the latest handsets available (unless an older model has become hyper-cheap and still offers decent functionality) as the newer models will stay serviced with software updates for longer, safeguarding you from having a broken phone with no hope of updates in a year's time.
We're just beginning 2015, and at the end of the year the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus challenged the heads of state in the smartphone world - namely the LG G3 and the HTC One M8.

But if you're currently considering your next mobile phone, don't forget we're not far away from the next crop: the HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy S6 are tipped to be coming at Mobile World Congress in March, so it might be worth waiting to see what appears then before making your decision.

Here are our rankings for the best mobile phones around, currently available in the UK. 

 You've probably never heard of OnePlus... but if you have, you'll know why this unknown brand is suddenly sitting in our list of best smartphones in the world.

The reason is simple: it's a phone that has all the power, specs and functionality of the top dogs, adds in super-customisable software and does it at nearly half the price. We're talking big savings on cost (£229 for the 16GB version and £269 for the 64GB variant) without much in the way of compromise.

In fact, the only things it's really missing are a microSD slot and removable battery, and those are elements more for the purists than absolutely necessary.
If we're being super picky, it's not got the greatest camera set up and the design is a bit... efficient, but at this price point it really doesn't matter. And given the target audience is those that care about raw power over style, it makes sense that this is where the costs could be saved.

Quick verdict

We love the fact that a new contender can maintain such a high place in the ranking of the best phones in the world - it means that it's not just a case of 'big budget means best phone'.
We were debating whether the OnePlus One could even have gone higher, but there's one big problem that you'll have if you want to get your hands on one: they're impossible to find. Numbers won't ramp up for a while, and probably never to the level of availability of the better-known names.
But if you want a phone that offers supreme power at a really low cost: the OnePlus One is it. It's what the Nexus range used to be, and if Google ditches that program, then thankfully OnePlus has shown there will be brands to pick up the slack.
