Smartphones (2015)

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

The S6 Edge is every bit the great phone that the S6 is, albeit a futuristic-looking one with curves on both sides. What are they for? Not an awful lot. But they sure look cool.

The runners-up

Apple iPhone 6s

It might look near identical to the iPhone 6, but Apple’s current flagship has a new camera and plenty of canny tricks including the innovative and genuinely useful Force Touch.

Google Nexus 6P

If last year’s Nexus 6 was a little disappointing, the 6P is a proper return to form: 2K screen, superb front camera, bargain price and the super-slick joys of Android Marshmallow.

LG G4

Another year, another great LG smartphone – only this one’s dressed in leather. Other options are available, but whichever you go for you’ll get a top screen, superb camera and bags of power.

Motorola Moto X Style

Moto’s truly playing with the big boys these days. The Style’s pixel-crammed 2K display, 21MP camera and premium build mark it out as a genuine alternative to the various iPhones and Galaxys.

OnePlus 2

With its big battery, classy build and huge power, the OnePlus 2 would be a contender on specs alone – but throw in its sub-£300 price and you have an astonishingly good smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S6

No longer the plastic-clad butt of Apple fans’ jokes, the Galaxy S6 looks and feels like what it is: a classy, high-end smartphone with a brilliant camera and barely a flaw to be seen.

Vodafone Smart Prime 6

Cheap as chips and twice as tasty, the Vodafone Smart Prime 6 is a phone you’d be happy with at double the price. Triple even. What glorious times we live in
