- • 2013 was the year when we got our first mobile with full HD 1080p Xperia Z .
- • The year we got something so strange that a mobile with dual front speakers, in HTC One .
- • The year when Nokia gave us the best camera phone we’ve seen, Lumia 1020 .
- • The year when Apple dared to put a fingerprint reader in the middle of his iPhone 5S .
- • The year when Samsung tried to get us to use their mobile phones in entirely new ways with Galaxy S4 .
- • And the year that LG would convince us that the buttons should be behind mobile, with LG G2 .
Not everything was just as successful, but of the 34 models tested DinSide year, we are left with less than 17 dice five or six.
And here is thus our favorites, divided into three price categories.
top models
iPhone 5S (iOS): Whether the iPhone is the best phone on the market are discussed up and down among the mobile enthusiasts.
neat design, rapid performance, fingerprint reader that actually works, and iOS 7 with its interface and app selection still makes this phone a winner. We gave it six out of six, and the reason you get in our test of the iPhone 5S .
Sony Xperia Z1 (Android) : Back in February we were impressed by the Sony Xperia Z, and later that year came Z1 and impressed us even more.
This beast of a phone can be both great for many, and user comfort are not always on top. But the fact that you get steaming fast performance and a great camera in a waterproof body makes this one of the year’s best mobiles. We gave it a strong five stars in our test of the Sony Xperia Z1.
Samsung Galaxy Note (Android) : We at DinSide have been skeptical about this year’s trend: “phablet”, ie mobiles that are so large that they move into the tablet segment.
We gave as Sony Xperia Z1 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Mega and HTC One Max lukewarm dice four.
But Samsung Galaxy Note 3 deserves praise. Much because it actually can be used without wearing you out , then the in this segment must be called both thin and light. It also offers a lot of performance, good battery life, great screen and a fun board pen, and certainly deserves a spot on this list. The reason you get in our test of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Android) : If you want to have a slightly smaller Samsung model than Note 3, on the other hand Galaxy S4 answer.
You get a thin and light mobile that can handle most things, but at the same time we think it has lots of unnecessary features that smells more hype than real innovation. It did not so well in our camera test, showing that the model is already starting to become somewhat outdated. In our test ended S4 at dice 5
Samsung Ativ S (Windows Phone) : The first Windows Phone-top model from Samsung was also the last from the edge, for there is no doubt that Android is Samsung’s favorite.
But Samsung Ativ S impressed us with its great screen, good battery life and occasionally gorgeous body.
camera was though not quite in style, and Samsung’s own software can not compete with Nokia’s. According Prisjakt.no there are now few shops that still have the model, so the price has now become stiffer. Also, this amounted to a dice 5 in our test .
Nokia Lumia 1020 (Windows Phone): Nokia has poured in with the new Lumia models in throughout the year, and in Norway the feast was ended with the Nokia Lumia 1020. And a close.
Lumia 1020 is gigantic in both good and bad, depending on how you see it. It was won by the DinSides camera test and thus can rightly be called the year’s best camera phone. We also think Nokia makes the best Windows Phone experience software wise, you’re looking for the best Windows Phone has to offer, this is the phone for you. Nokia Lumia 1020 got dice 5 in our test.
HTC One (Android): HTC surprised everyone when the year showed off its new One- series, with HTC One leading the way.
design of the HTC One is so nicely that we are tempted to call it the year’s prettiest mobile and designed gives you something as unique as dual internal speakers pour loud sound right in your face.
We were sadly disappointed by the battery life, but HTC One is nevertheless one of the year’s most exciting Android Phones. And now it is available for example in an incredibly luscious red. HTC One got dice 5
LG G2 (Android): LG has recently proved to be a worthy competitor to giants like Samsung, also on the mobile front.
LG G2 is the year’s top model from the edge and has a weird button solution that places everything you need on your phone backing . We were not entirely convinced, but enjoyed the rest of the phone so well that we gave it both five dice and Recommended product stamp. LG G2 had thus a strong 5 in our test.
Nexus 5 (Android): The latest top model we tested this year, the Nexus 5, made by LG Google. Nexus phones always keeps premiere party for the latest Android version, this time Android 4.4 and runs råversjonen without modifications from the manufacturer.
And this party, we like good.
Nexus 5 has a lot Nexus 4 missing, as 1080p display, 4G and the latest in processing power, but unfortunately lacked a bit on both the camera and the battery side. Still a very interesting mobile, and all reasoning can be found in our test of the Google Nexus 5
The intermediate layer
5C iPhone (iOS): For the first time in history, Apple launched this year two iPhone versions of the same: a top iPhone 5S and the somewhat cheaper iPhone 5C.
5C offers lower price, more color choice and iOS with all the advantages and / or disadvantages the software offers, depending on how you look at it. But the price was not as low as we had hoped for, and you are therefore not particularly good value. Read the test of iPhone 5C here.
Sony Xperia Z (Android): Although Sony Xperia Z has already got its successor in the Z1, you should still not forget the first edition in series. For Z now has a far lower price than big brother, and fits slim wallets better.
Xperia Z was the first cell phone in this country with a 1080p display, which still looks good. And it is still waterproof, and still supports 4G memory card and can still be a good choice if you do not want to use the entire salary inga on new mobile. We gave Sony Xperia Z dice 5
Nokia Lumia 925 (Windows Phone): Lumia 925 was Nokia’s Lumia top model until 1020 came on. But 925 still deserves its place in the Windows Phone universe.
Lumia 925 is actually smaller and lighter than giant in 1020 and offers a lot of phone for the money, now that the cost of 3,500 dollars. Among other things, the camera is cracking, and the screen and the performance is unlikely to disappoint anyone. Nokia Lumia 925 is tested here.
HTC One Mini (Android): One series came this year with three models, in order of size: One HTC Max, HTC One One and HTC Mini.
Max version we did not like particularly well, but the Mini edition has something for themselves. HTC One Mini is not very much smaller than the HTC One, but the price has dwindled and gives you value for crowns. Just be aware that the camera is so-so and the battery can not handle anything. The whole rationale you get here.
Budget Models
ZTE Nubia Z5 (Android): The manufacturer ZTE has not exactly blown us off the chairs of this year, but they did a good job with ZTE Nubia Z5.
We liked the design, we liked snapshots it took and we liked how Android shell looked like. However, the Android version was old, and the camera struggled unfortunately with video. It is nevertheless worth considering, and the reason you get our test.
LG Optimus G (Android): Before LG G2 came LG Optimus G, which in many ways was last year’s Nexus 4 in a new guise. But we liked what we saw.
performance, Android version, battery, and memory gives you a lot of money now that the price tag is less than 3,000 dollars. But do not expect a very good camera, or hardware that will withstand the test of time in a very long time. Test our getting here.
Sony Xperia V (Android): The third Sony Xperia model on this list are also the weakest, but in return the cheapest Sony Xperia V .
Like the other Xperia models, this waterproof, offering a good camera and Memory Cards. On the minus side, we note that the battery life is weak and the internal memory does not give you much space. More details can be found in the test.
Nokia Lumia 620 (Windows Phone) : Nokia gets into three Lumia models among the year’s best phones, and the Nokia Lumia 620 is the cheapest of mobile everyone on the entire list.
under 1500 NOK get a mobile that does a good job in most areas, without impressing in any of them. Something more particularly can not expect in this price range, so we give thumbs up. Read the full test here.
