    Considering the OnePlus One is only $299 16GB or $349 64GB you should make sure that you input correct pricing as it makes a huge difference for people considering to buy one compared to the huge difference in price for not much more in the big brands, as far as mobile phone cameras go it's a mobile phone and 13mp with dual flash is not bad for the correct price. I own one not just played with one for 5 minutes to make a judgement against mobiles 3 times plus in price. After much research I went for the OnePlus purely on specs to cost ratio and not one of the big brands could even come close in a 5.5" format mobile.

    If you notice carefully that comment was from 2 years ago when the HTC Butterfly would have been considered pretty top of the range.

  3. Prof. Theodora Berge I says:

    how much do you get paid to put the s6 as number 1, I have it and by far one of the worst phones i have had in terms of everyday performance and UI. the screen and camera are the only redeeming feature.

    How can you avoid telling people about the memory leak problems plaguing the phone causing horrible performance, and the terrible cell reception know to all users world wide

    WHERE IS HUAWEI P8???? FAKE!!!!

  5. Mr. Shawn Frami Sr. says:

    Lemme guess, you backed up to your laptop/desktop? Yeah, HTC Sync Manager is an absolute mess (at least on Mac). Back up to the cloud, it works far better and is far easier.

  6. Ms. Susan Wilderman Jr. says:

    Sony Xperia Z3 is the best

  7. Enoch Durgan MD says:

    Any phone is better than Samsung, as someone pointed, special are good on paper but the ongoing support is next to nil, they just flooded the market with similar phones and never support their products properly. My preference, Sony Z3 any time. I own one and I love it, great battery with microsd card, water proof and guess what I am using Mm, I know, just a concept code but already on November path and where is Samsung latest flagship? Still planning to be upgraded next year? What a joke, by the way, I used to own a S3 and I love it as well however all thanks to custom room put together by great android community, again where is Samsung support? No where to be seen.

  8. Ms. Dariana Kunze V says:

    Techradar, when are you going to make these, y'know, separate articles? This best phones of 2015 article has comments from 3 years ago complaining about random bulls*** that doesn't apply today.

  9. Prof. Jakob Ledner DDS says:

    Still think the M7 is the best phone. It's much better looking and costs less than $300 now 🙂 Pity it it wasn't 5".

  10. Mr. Pietro Haley says:

    Obviously this is just a face value comparison. Personally, I prefer phones which have a micro sd card, this feature wasn't mentioned.

  11. Mozell Smitham says:

    yeah it has less specs than the other, Yanks always rate their own pretty high,

  12. Madge Walker Sr. says:

    ASUS zenfone 6 best phone i have ever owned and i have had an iphone 6 and a galaxy s-shit

  13. Lela Daugherty says:

    The Sony Z3 is the worst phone, in 12 months mine has spent 3 months in for repair (over 6 times), its not waterproof and it randomly calls people.
    DO not but a Sony, they are rubbish

  14. Layla Reichel says:

    They aren't really relevant outside of China or South East Asia.

  15. Dr. Angelo Kessler Jr. says:

    Just flash it with a custom rom then

  16. Guadalupe Metz says:

    it was deliberate to stop the censor system from filtering out the word, dipsh**

  17. Dr. Stanford Dooley PhD says:

    Im sure the LG G4 would slot in the top 5 somewhere if it was out when the article was written

  18. Kaylie Hoeger says:

    to be honest, the Nokia Kumia 930 should be in here. it's got a better camera than any of the phones here, and while Windows Phone isn't popular and does lack market share, it's still a great phone with awesome hardware. However, I understand why it's been overlooked, windows phone market share is too low to be significant. But if you're honest andd objective, the 930 should definitely be in here. above anything from Apple for sure.

  19. Dr. Janelle Kris III says:

    Blagberry Classic? Lol.

  20. Lenny Flatley Sr. says:

    Why is the iPhone 6 so high? It's confusing to read your reasons for ranking certain phones lower only to be contradicted by the same reasons to rank a phone higher.

  21. Isai Zboncak says:

    Bwwwwwwaaah this loser is trolling Blackberry on other tech blogs now. Can you be any more sad ya t w at?

  22. Prof. Leone Macejkovic says:

    What? Just what? U say s6 is slow? How comes? What r u talking abt? The phone is incredibly fast and fluid.. memory leak was a bug but is the s6 performance horrible.. check maybe u got a clone

  23. Prof. Janie Stiedemann says:

    HTC make great phones, I've had two, but they simply cannot get their syncing software together. Its unreliable and has hacked my notes records and duplicated and decimated my contact list more than once. Sorry HTC, great phones but I'll be moving on.

    Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaha Look at this person who can't spell^

    I recently purchased a Sony Experia T2 D5322 Phone. First the positives – It has a large screen that is easy to see and read, plus a 13MP camera. So as a camera it is pretty good, though if I wanted a camera I could have bought a better camera for $120.

    Firstly the call sound quality and volume is so poor that it is difficult to use the phone without loud speaker. I made 4 calls to Sony Customer service and went through hours of following their instructions which only resulted in losing my text records and phone settings. Still no fix!

    To attempt to remedy this I have bought 3 different bluetooth devices 3 of which the Sony phone would nt connect to at all, the third worked well until the phone OS was updated. Then the phone would connect to the bluetooth temporarily but after a minute or three on a call the sound quality on both sides of the call would break down to become inaudible.

    The bluetooth manufacturer replaced the bluetooth but the same problem occurred. I bought another bluetooth device from another manufacturer but that wouldn't work either so figured that it must have been a problem with the phone. I asked Sony to check the phone on warrantee as it was only a couple of months old. The Sony technician returned the phone without fixing it and charged me $60!!!!!

    That's what Sony call service.
