android phones

Verizon's Motorola Droid Ultra has a larger display and a couple of other features, but that doesn't put it ahead of its smaller cousin, the Moto X.

The real rival to the iPhone 5 is the HTC One, not the Samsung Galaxy S 4

Due for an upgrade? We break down the big differences between the Galaxy S4 and the One to help you decide which phone to get.

How does the Samsung Galaxy S4 compare to other flagship Android phone on the market, particularly the HTC One and the Sony Xperia Z?

HTC's new Droid DNA has some standout hardware elements, but the Android smartphone suffers from significant drawbacks that make it difficult to recommend.

There's nothing to "oooh" and "ahhh" about with the Kyocera Rise ($20 with a two-year contract from Sprint after a mail-in rebate; price as of August 29, 2012). This budget smartphone, which runs Android 4.0, has a simple design and basic hardware, and it doesn't excel in any particular category despite its wide range of functionality. However, you can't beat the price point, and the Rise is a solid option if you're looking to dip your toes into the world of smartphones. Also, it has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which makes typing messages more convenient and also frees up space on the Rise's compact screen.
