It says an awful lot about the general quality of Android phones nowadays that there wasn't even room for the LG G3 on this list because there were simply so...many...other brilliant phones.

I've actually owned 3 of these as daily drivers, and have a few things to add!

The G3 turned up in the nominations round, but fell short of the top five, and just a vote or two shy of the Note 4, which would have put it in the honorable mentions.

Nothing wrong with a little wine during the day on a Friday.

Good point—I've always been curious to try this, but haven't taken the plunge, even though I rarely make calls.

Why: It's the best value you can get for the money. If you want the best hardware you can buy, the best customer support you can get, and the best OS support for the hardware, look no further. I suggest buying direct from Google to get the best experience, but I've had mine for almost a year now and I would buy it…

Yeah - ADB backup is a tricky thing. When it works, it works beautifully. When it doesn't....it's kinda wonky and piecemeal. It's definitely easy and cross platform, but it was a can of worms I wasn't sure I wanted to open.

That's a fair point, but it's all things that Hangouts can do/ does across multiple platforms

I'm fascinated that they were able to get away with this for so long.

Apple is all about the customer's experience. Screwing people on imessage first looked like a good way to ensure ANY phone they switched to from iPhone would give a poorer experience at least at first. They basically waited to fix this until enough people attributed the bad experience to Apple instead of mistaking…

I'm surprised it took them this long. All it takes is an if statement, DB change, and an iOS update. I guess they just didn't want to

Contigo Autoseal, hands down.

Lots of people at the office I used to work (engineering/construction firm) at had these. A coworker got me one for Christmas and I officially became a member of the cult for these things.

They're indestructible, mine has survived lots of drops and knocks from roof of a car onto gravel. …

The round button and the back button in the top left hand corner are poor design choices that have lurked in the shadows til now. Funny how they're the only company that do that, and yet they still get so much praise for all the thought that goes into their UI design, and then they overlook these.

The biggest problem with Apple is that since they only make virtually one phone, they can't play with different bezels or get rid of certain features easily without a shitstorm happening. The problem with hardware and software being tied together is that you just can't change everything without beginning anew. It's…

because people like to customize their phones. And not everyone likes android. while i like that iphones are easy to use and nice. Its insulting that apple doesn't let people customize their phones. I mean its like have ice cream, and then the ice cream man says that you can not put any sprinkles on top otherwise he…

I really don't see the point of jail breaking anymore. Once upon a time, android phones were clunky and their app ecosystem was inferior, but things have gotten to the point where that's not the case. If you want to have more control over your phone, why not just get one of them? And I'm saying this as an iphone user.

Which is great if all you want are apps! If you want your settings, photos, call log, SMS history, saved games, etc, you needs to do a little more than that. :)
