Every
Android Phone, Ranked
(http://gizmodo.com/every-android-phone-
ranked-1468382693)
EXPAND

There are something like one million Android phones for every person on the planet right now
(plus or minus one). Most of them suck. Many are great. Here's the definitive list that tells you
which is which.

Here are the ground rules. Every Android phone available on the websites of the big four US
carriers will be ranked. Phones that are only sold refurbished or certified pre-owned will not be
ranked. Sorry, Pantech Burst on AT&T, that means you don't make the cut. Other notable
phones will be added to the list as seen fit (hello Nexii!). There will be no ties. This is America,
where there is one winner and then different degrees of losers.

Everything about this phone is good enough
and that somehow adds up to pretty damn
great. Things that don't look good on paper
a slightly worse screen than the
heavyweights, a rubberized soft-touch plastic
backing, etc.somehow don't really subtract
from the total experience. What's great is
that it's perhaps the best compromise in
having a big screen and having a phone that
normal humans can hold. Plus, the added

The bloat ware can be hidden easily enough,
the phone is lightening quick and has great
battery life with one of the largest screens.
plus i love the camera on it. I am the same
that i would have preferred the Nexus 5 but
Verizon sucks in that regard. Oh well i like
my G2 more than my wifes 5s, my mothers
S4. My dad has the Maxxx and I think that
is the only phone I even get a hint of envy
over because I love the way it feels.

What the hell is #54. I've never even heard I'm surprised your rated the mini and the

I had a nice response typed up that wouldn't
publish. TL:DR version, The s4 is a much
better phone than I anticipated and redeems
the company at least a little bit. I owned a
Nexus S4g and it was a gigantic piece of
crap. I was super hesitant to buy Samsung
again but after researching and messing
with phones in store it made the most sense.
As a side note, this is the first Android phone
that I did not immediately root and rom
because I actually enjoy some (not all) of the
features TouchWiz has to offer (dual screen
apps for one.)

The Note 3 is a stellar phone and it gets a

low rank solely because of its size, when
really its not all that big. I thought it was
until I actually used it. Spec for spec it holds
its own, and the interface features are quite
nice.

I use the Moto X for my work phone and I

gotta be honest, I don't get the hype. Sure its
neat to have it customizable but I missed out
on this one feature as it was purchased in
bulk for our company. The phone is not bad
nor great, but rather run of the mill. If that
somehow translates to top of the line for
you, then so be it.

The Nexus and Sony phone are both

amazing but are both missing from the one
carrier that currently matters to me (and
according to stats, most of the US.)

Most of the list is accurate, but that's my

opinion.
