The Apple iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S6 are among the hotly anticipated new smartphones for 2015 but, for now, there is still a large range of top mobiles available to buy. Here are five of the most popular among tech critics:
Sony Xperia Z3
Another updated version of Sony's flagship Xperia smartphone, the Z3 offers up to 890 hours of battery life despite its new slimmer design. Chris Hall at Pocket Lint gives the waterproof phone five stars, praising its design, power, 5.2-inch display and camera. "If you're looking for a big-screen device that's easy to manage then the Sony Xperia Z3 has it all," says Hall. "It's a compelling flagship set to rival any of the top handsets currently out there." The Xperia Z3 Compact version, with its 4.6in display, has also been held up by critics as "the best 'small' screen Android phone around".
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
The large 5.7-inch screen, S Pen stylus and expensive price-tag might not be for everyone, says John McCann at CNET, but the Note 4's power, display and great camera make it an "excellent smartphone". McCann says it is "the best phablet around", with a "fantastic" QHD resolution screen that makes everything "pin sharp". He adds: "Your eyes alone will thank you for picking up the Galaxy Note 4, and those of you who love gaming and watching movies on your phone, it's perfect."
Apple iPhone 6
A record four million pre-orders were placed for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in just 24 hours last September – and, according to Madeline Bennett at V3, the handsets do live up to the hype. "Featuring a powerful A8 processor, sleek metal design and stunning Retina display, the iPhone 6 is one of a select few handsets to earn V3's hallowed five stars," she says. The iPhone 6 Plus is even larger with a 5.5in display and longer battery life.
LG G3
Chris Martin at PC Advisor claims the LG G3 was the best smartphone of 2014. No other phone has outdone its "amazing" Quad HD screen, he says. The phone also has a camera with a laser auto focus and the ability to record 4K-resolution video. "The device is surprisingly small considering the 5.5in display and we like the more premium design," says Martin. "It's another winner from LG."
HTC One M9
Before the launch, HTC knew it really had to get the One M9 right. The new phone was said to be "critically important" for the Taiwanese firm, which is trying to halt three years of falling sales. Fortunately for the company, the new device received enormously positive reviews when it was unveiled at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Tech Radar declared the M9 to be a "great phone if you're upgrading from two years ago", but said that overall the handset still isn't quite as good as the latest flagship phones from Samsung and Apple. Nevertheless, critics praised the phone's "significantly improved" 20-megapixel camera, its high-quality Boomsound speakers (Trusted Reviews declared them to be "the best speakers you can find on a phone"), its speedy processor and stylish design.
Coming soon: the LG G4
There is some confusion about its May release date, the LG G4 is set to improve on the aesthetics of previous LG offerings with an eye-catching orange leather fascia. TechRadar has warm praise for the phone, saying the "LG G4 focuses on what everyone actually wants out of a smartphone". Stuff magazine's reviewer is also a fan. "The camera is top notch, the screen brilliant and those extra 0.4 inches of screen space [compared with its predecessor, the G3] will be enough to convince a bunch of buyers," the review say . While CNET has reservations about battery life and a lack of new features, it to is happy to recommend the phone. "Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships."
