With so many smartphones being created almost daily from a handful of wireless companies, finding the right smartphone for you can see like a time consuming task. There are pros and cons with every phone out there, so it is about knowing what you want and expect out of your phone. Smartphone comparisons and reviews are how you can decide which phone is the one for you.

One of the top reviewed smartphones in 2013 for overall quality is the Samsung Galaxy S III. It is certainly the best choice for taking great pictures and viewing your HD videos with amazing clarity. The touchscreen is great for multi-tasking. The only real problem with the phone is that it is so large that it is sometimes awkward if you are that person who does one-handed typing.

If you are looking for a phone that has the ability to always keep you entertained then the LG Optimus G might be the phone for you. This phone makes watching videos and gaming a breeze, and it has great picture resolution. One charge gives this phone 10 hours of talk time, so it will last you through your day. There are a couple down sides to this phone, it has slow download speeds and 4G connection drops are common.

The HTC 1 X seems to have more cons than pros, the biggest of which is preloaded apps that you cannot remove and take up a great deal of the storage on the phone. This phone also tends to have grainy pictures and the phone quality is not very clear. This phone is beneficial if you love apps because smooth running apps are the upside to the HTC 1 X.

Sony Xperia TL is the best option if you take a lot of photos with your phone. The rear facing 13MP camera takes phenomenal pictures for a smartphone. It has powerful processing and impressive 720p HD. It has excellent functionality for a reasonable price. The only area of concern is the short battery life - only five hours between charges

If you need a phone for business that helps you stay organized, accomplish your goals, and increase your productivity, then the TMobile My Touch 4G could be your phone of choice. With 624 talk time minutes, a single charge should handle an entire day of business calls. Take your office with you with this phone that boasts speedy 4G and quick downloads that rival laptops. The bummer to this phone is the small screen that is not very conducive to web browsing, or viewing videos and pictures.

The Google Nexus 4 is another good phone for watching videos and gaming. It is fast and smooth with excellent video calling. The 360 panoramic camera is a unique feature on this phone and it takes great outdoor pictures, however, the indoor pictures can be grainy. It has a whopping 12 hours of battery life and allows for cloud storage, but with no 4G data speeds, this can make it a hassle.

Smartphone comparisons and reviews are subjective, but at least offer an idea of the quality of specific functions that are essential to you. Make your must-have list of functions and start sorting. Hopefully, your search just got a little easier. Just understand that with any technology, there is some give an take. When it comes to phones, often you cannot have everything.
