HTC One M8 – for an excellent all round, design-led handset
The HTC One M8 is a popular choice and is especially good for business use. With a slick, brushed metal design it looks great in your hand and it’s audio system is a force to be reckoned with, no more tinny sound whilst playing music or using speakerphone,as the handset comes with dual front facing stereo speakers, so the sound is projected towards you.
The HTC One M8basically gets the job done, whether you’re sending out mass marketing texts using globalmessaging.co.uk, or scrolling through your HTCBlinkfeed™ and catching up with everything happening in your world.
iPhone 5s – for familiarity and simplicity in your hand
If you do enjoy the familiarity and simplicity of an iPhone then the 5s is a good choice. With the added fun of fingerprint technology and a huge range of licensed apps on the Apple Store, it’s the perfect handset for everyday use.
The 5s looks great, feels comfortable to use and is perfect if you’re looking to simply switch on and play. However, keep in mind that the iPhone 6 is due to come out in a couple of weeks, so the prices will possibly drop on the 5 series shortly after this. If you’re patient enough to wait you can grab a bargain.
Nokia Lumia 930 – a Windows phone that does it all
Windows phones are the marmite of the smartphone world, you either love or hate them. The LiveTiles design is great if you want to see everything that is happening in your life, all at the same time, and links with your PC or Xbox. This smartphone also comes with a wireless charging plate, which is great for taking out with you, so you can always charge your phone if you are near a computer.
The Nokia Lumia also features an incredible 20MP camera and four directional microphones with Surround-Sound. Since it’s a Microsoft phone it’s great for business, as you can access your OneDrive and store and share files, you get the first 7GB of storage free on this, so you’ll have plenty of space to get you started. It also comes with a shed load of apps on the Windows Phone Store, so you’ll never miss out on the latest trending apps and games.
Samsung Galaxy S5 – for the active type
