We're living in a smartphone world. According to the research firm ComScore, more than 184 million Americans now surf the Web, communicate from afar, and run apps on their little handheld computers. With such a huge market, it's no wonder that there are hundreds of different models to choose from. We're here to help. Here at PCMag, we review every smartphone released on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and many of their sub-brands such as Boost, MetroPCS, and Virgin. These ten are our top picks across all of the smartphones available in the U.S. today.
You'll find something for everyone here, including screen sizes from 4.7 to nearly 6 inches, support for every carrier in America, and each of the three major mobile operating systems. Apple's iOS, Google's Android, and Microsoft's Windows Phone each have something to offer the smartphone buyer. iOS has the best selection of apps and a very easy-to-use user interface. Android is highly configurable and is no slouch when it comes to apps. And Windows Phone has an elegant layout and integrates well with Facebook, Xbox, and Microsoft Office.
If there's one constant in the smartphone world, though, it's change. To see our most recent reviews, check out our Cell Phones Product Guide.
