Want to buy a new smartphone? We pick out the best mobile phones available right now.
With so many different smartphones out there, choosing a new mobile phone can be tricky. But if you're on the hunt for a new handset, we can help you decide.


Here we've picked our top 10 mobiles, based on the best mobile phones available in the UK right now. You won't find any 'coming soon' mobiles here, this is a chart of phones you can snap up straight away.

10. Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Galaxy S
Though it has now been surpassed by the Galaxy S 2 (with its dual-core processor), the Galaxy S remains one of the best Android phones on the market - and now at a cheaper price.

The first of the new breed of super-powered smartphones that run on dual-core processors, this slim handset from LG also offers Full HD video recording and playback.
