1) HTC One M8
3) Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - A big upgrade on the Galaxy Note 3, the fourth iteration of the original phablet ups the specs with a quad-HD display that boasts a PPI of 500, 16MP rear snapper with a host of OIS features and a 3.7 meg selfie cam packing a flurry of wide angle modes. The S-Pen has been improved too, with better sensitivity and the ability to select multiple items at once.
4) Moto X 2014 - Motorola’s new flagship is a fine creation. Wrapped in aluminium, it has a premium feel that escaped the original, plus it has been upgraded in almost every area. There’s a new Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB RAM and a bigger, sharper 1080p HD 5-inch display. It doesn’t feel like a big device though, with slim sides and a curved back, it feels great in the hand. Optional wood or leather backs can be added, the battery is good for a day of moderate use and the snapper has been upgraded to 13-megapixels.
5) Google Nexus 5 - If you love Android the way Google intended it, but don't really fancy spending £499 on the upcoming Nexus 6, the Nexus 5 is still a great phone, even if it is over a year old. Specs wise you'll find a vibrant 1080p, 5-inch display, Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM. 16GB or 32GB options are available for internal storage, though choose wisely as there's microSD expansion.
The 8MP camera is fine is daylight, but takes a turn for the worst when the conditions are less than ideal and the battery will probably just about get you though a day of use.
The best thing about the Nexus 5 is the 5.0 Lollipop update, which brings a load of new features and a completely refreshed overall design to the software.
Dubbed the HTC One M8, HTC's update to the original One is a little more curved and slightly larger than its predecessor, due to the brand-new 5-inch, 1080p display, though that's still quite compact by today's standard. Under that aluminium unibody shell is a Qualcomm 801 processor, clocked at 2.3 GHz and 2GB RAM, plus there’s 16GB storage, though this can be expanded through micro SD up to a 128GB.
2) LG G3 - Spec hunter? Then you'll love LG's slick 2014 flagship. An update to the already impressive G2, the G3 ups the game in almost every area, with a Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, wireless charging and a large 3,000mAh battery. But it's the, frankly rather large, phablet like 5.5-inch display that steals the show. Boasting a 2K resolution, this screen is amongst the best out there and displays pictures and video in near perfect quality. Another feature we love is the new laser tech on the 13MP snapper, which speeds up auto-focus and makes capturing shots much quicker.
