NEW MOBILE PHONES 2013 - what's coming up?


TOP TEN BEST MOBILE PHONES ON PLANET EARTH.....

BlackBerry Z30

BlackBerry Z30: The key feature on the BlackBerry Z30 is its 5-inch display, putting is squarely up against the big players in the market including the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, LG G2 and Nokia Lumia 925.

We found the Z30 to be a capable, if unappealing smartphone during our hands on review, and it's probably never going to try and win the hearts of the masses.
That said if you've still got a soft spot for BlackBerry and want to get your mitts on their best smartphone hold on for the Z30 to hit stores.
We're currently putting through the BlackBerry Z30 through our in depth review process, so keep an eye out for our final thoughts soon.

ZTE Blade V

ZTE Blade V: A quad-core processor in a smartphone which will set you back no more than £90 - that's the dream, right? Well the ZTE Blade V delivers just that.

It's not really got much going for it beyond 'it's really rather cheap for a quad-core device' though, and that may not be enough to warrant a purchase.
We fear for a lack of substance underneath the spec sheet, but that could all change come our in depth review, so you should keep an eye on the Blade V.

Nokia Lumia 625 

Nokia Lumia 625: Why are all the big screened phones so expensive? It means those on a tighter budget are left to make do with smaller screens and that just doesn't seem fair.

Luckily the Nokia Lumia 625 is on hand, or it will be soon, with its 4.7-inch display and rather affordable £200 price tag to ease that big screen pain.
After our hands on time with the handset we walked away from the Nokia Lumia 625 feeling distinctly under whelmed. In a vacuum, this would be an interesting device, but we fear it will struggle to stand out in a crowded middle market. Is Windows Phone and a 4.7-inch screen a big enough pull?

HTC One Max
HTC One Max: We love the HTC One - it's so good in fact we gave it a 5 star rating and number one spot in our 20 Best Mobiles Phones in the World. So what will HTC do next? Make the same phone, just bigger, apparently.
A possible HTC One Max release date has been pegged for October 17, while rumoured specs include a huge 5.9-inch full HD display, 2.3GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.
The One Max price could be an issue though with a figure around the £600 mark being knocked about - better start saving them.

Motorola Razr HD

Motorola Razr HD: A former top 20 resident the Motorola Razr HD is still a decent contender and has only dropped out of our best phones list due to newer handsets elbowing their way to the top.

While this phone lacks in some areas (let's be honest: a dual-core processor doesn't get anyone's heart racing any more, despite being able to handle most tasks) it  still has a clear screen, simple OS and a really strong battery at its heart.
Many will be taken by the almost stock Android platform it uses, and the fact it's got an additional HDMI port means it's easy to sync your phone up to a big screen - plus it doesn't cost the earth.
