Name: HTC ONE M8
Model:M8
Android Version: 4.4(Kitkat)
Specs: SD Card/Quadcore/HTC sense 6
Price: 1,900,000 UGX
Contract : starting 320,000 UGX
The Good The HTC One M8's sumptuous aluminum body makes a beautiful
background for this top-flight smartphone's brilliant 5-inch display. It runs on a
powerful quad-core processor and Android KitKat, the stereo speakers deliver ex-
cellent sound, and the depth-sensing camera brings a ton of useful features.
The Bad The One M8’s battery is not user-removable, making it harder to replace
once the battery inevitably wears out. The phone's sealed chassis is not water-
resistant, and the One M8's photos look less sharp than competitors'.
The Bottom Line Elegant style, raw power, and sophisticated features make the
HTC One M8 an excellent smartphone choice for anyone but the most exacting
photographer.
Think of the HTC One M8 as the big-budget sequel to an Oscar-winning indie film.
Last year's HTC One won rave reviews and obsessed fans, but not enough cus-
tomers to keep HTC growing. This year, HTC needs a rip-roaring box-office hit
with its flagship phone.
It could happen. The One M8 is undeniably the most impressive handset the com-
pany has ever minted. Like its predecessor, the M8 brings a refined and beautiful
software and speedy performance, all wrapped in a lithe and eye-catching alumi-
num skin.
The HTC One M8 must compete head-to-head against its archrival's freshest mo-
bile machine, the Samsung Galaxy S5, and compete it does. Aesthetically speak-
ing, the HTC One M8 runs rings around the GS5 with its elegant and intuitive
Sense interface. What's more, though the M8 may lack every bell and whistle that
Name: LG NEXUS 5
Model: Nexus 5
Android Version : 5.0 (Lollipop)
Specs; 32/16 GB
Price: 2,000,000 UGX
Contract: starting 400,000 UGX
The Good The Google Nexus 5 has LTE for multiple carriers, a
sleek and solid build, and an excellent price. It makes crystal-clear calls, battery
life is long, and integration of Google Now is deep and wide.
The Bad The Nexus 5's screen is dimmer than its competitors' and its camera
struggles under auto settings. While an important OS update, Android 4.4 KitKat
is more conceptual than feature-rich.
The Bottom Line Strong performance, high-end specs, and an ultra-affordable
price make the Google Nexus 5 not just the best unlocked phone on the market,
but the best Nexus phone by far.
Finally, we have an Android handset that deserves the Nexus name. The Nexus 5
is fast, gorgeous, and stocked with features (including LTE) and it is the device for
showing the true power of the Google universe and the Android operating system.
Yes, with a fast Snapdragon 800 processor, a sharp 1080p touch screen, and a
competent battery, there's a lot to like about the Nexus 5 even if you never get
past the main menu. But it's really the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system that
we're here to see. Though not long on flashy new features, KitKat brings an ever
deeper integration with Google's expanding array of services and a promise to
end the age-old scourge of Android fragmentation.
Still, at that price, sometimes it makes it difficult to judge the Nexus -- is it a top-
tier phone for cheap, or a midrange device that's bizarrely souped up with great
innards? Do its variable camera and relatively dim screen get a pass because it's
a $400 handset after all, or should I be expecting better from a Google flagship?
And it is a flagship, much more so than the Nexus 4 and even the Galaxy Nex-
us were, but pinning it down further is difficult.
However you want to consider it, one thing's for certain: the phone's specs are in-
deed high-end, and its reliable performance further bolsters its appeal, despite its
flaws. For what it's worth, the Nexus 5 is the best unlocked phone on the market.
Name: MOTOROLA NEXUS 6
Model: Nexus 6
Android Version : 5.0 (Lollipop)
Specs; 32/16 GB
Price: 4,000,000 UGX
Contract: starting 500,000 UGX
The Good The Google Nexus 6 has a razor-sharp and expansive display, a top-of-
the-line Snapdragon 805 processor, the latest Lollipop OS and an OIS-equipped
camera that takes great outdoor photos.
The Bad The Nexus is heavier and wider than most big smartphones, and its call
volume is low on audio speaker. And it's the most expensive Nexus yet.
The Bottom Line Although the Nexus 6 trails the slimmer Samsung Galaxy Note
4 in processor performance and native productivity features, it's still the most pow-
erful pure Android handset available and the largest Nexus yet.
As the first plus-size smartphone from Google, the Nexus 6 isn't a simple upgrade
from the Nexus 5. And when Dave Burke, the company's VP of engineering, first
handed us the 6-inch handset, he encouraged us to ask not, "What is the right size
for a phone?" but, "What is the right size of a pocket Internet device?"
It was a clever comment on his part, for if you think of the Motorola-madeNexus 6 in those terms -- as a do-anything-and-everything tabletreplacement -- then it's a fantastic device. With a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 805 processor, a gorgeous quad HD display, a nimble camera that can take ultrasharp photos, and that large screen, the Nexus 6 gives you more room for things you really do on a smartphone, mainly checking email, browsing the Web, watching movies and tak-ing pictures.
That said, even as other manufacturers rush to build larger phones, the jump to
the Nexus 6 is a debatable move on Google's part. Size does matter, and by
breaking from companies like Apple and Samsung that make both phone and pha-
blet models of what is essentially the same handset, Google risks alienating users
who consider it too big (it's heavier and wider than other big smartphones) or who
don't want to pay the $650-plus premium to buy it.
For those more keen on going small, there are plenty other options on the market,
such as the also pure-Android Motorola Moto X. But for anyone looking for a big-
screen handset with an authentic form of the new Lollipop OS, the Nexus 6 is the
smartphone you want. It performs well and it has all that you'd expect from the
Nexus family. If you want to go big and don't need stock Android, though, we give
the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 the edge. It's just as powerful (if not more so), it has
more productivity features like the super-handy S Pen, and its design better han-
dles the large size.
The Good The HTC One flaunts a stunning metal design, a powerful quad-core processor, and a beautiful 4.7-inch, 1080p screen. It runs Android Jelly Bean, takes great pictures, and has a feature-packed camera app.
The Bad The sealed case design means no SD expansion slot or us-er-replaceable battery. The BlinkFeed software can't be completely removed.
The Bottom Line A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse
HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone.
As HTC's new flagship smartphone, the HTC One is packed to the rafters with top-notch components and technologies including some of the latest processing gear from Qualcomm. In addition to being state-of-the-art, the successor to 2012's HTC One X is lovingly craft-ed from premium metals, leaving no doubt that the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer has put a considerable amount of blood, sweat, and tears into this handset.
HTC definitely brought its A game, and it needs to to defeat its archrival, the Samsung Galaxy S4. Like all other smartphones though, the One isn't perfect -- it lacks an SD card slot for extra stor-age expansion as well as a removable battery. The camera isn't quite as revolutionary as advertised. Android purists may not love HTC's Sense UI skin, and the One's nonremovable BlinkFeed news reader isn't particularly welcome.
Quibbles aside, though, the HTC One should be at or near the top of
the list for anyone looking for a phone on Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, or
Verizon -- where it's going head-to-head with the Galaxy S4. Yes, it's
a game of inches between both of those big-screen Android super-
phones (read our story to see how they stack up, feature for feature).
But I can easily say the HTC One is the fastest, most beautiful phone
I've ever used, and it will sway anyone looking for a worthy alternative
to the Samsung GS4.
Name: HTC ONE Model:M7
Android Version:4.4 Specs;32 GB/QUAD CORE
Price:1,500,000 Contract: Starting 200,000 UGX
The Good Samsung's Galaxy S5 excels at everything that matters --
Android 4.4 KitKat OS; a bright, beautiful display; blistering quad-core processor;
and an excellent camera experience. In addition, Samsung's efforts to streamline its
own custom interface and reduce pre-installed bloatware pay off.
The Bad The Galaxy S5 is a only small upgrade over the Galaxy S4. The fingerprint
scanner can be confusing to use, and the heart-rate monitor is a niche feature at
best. In some regions, the Galaxy S5 costs significantly more than rival top-rated
handsets.
The Bottom Line Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is
a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design.
Here's why the Samsung Galaxy S5 should grab your attention: it looks good, it per-
forms very well, and it has everything you need to become a fixture in nearly every
aspect of your life. But, like a candidate running for reelection, the GS5 gets where
it is today based on experience and wisdom, not on flashy features or massive in-
novation.
With the exception of a few nonessential hardware and software additions -- like the
fingerprint scanner and novel heart-rate monitor -- and a few design tweaks, you're
pretty much looking at the same phone Samsung released in 2013. The S5 is more
of a Galaxy S4 Plus than it is a slam-the-brakes, next-generation device; it makes
everything just a little smoother and faster.
The 5.1-inch, quad-core Android 4.4 KitKat machine with a terrific 16-megapixel camera is well worth snapping up.
However, it isn't the only phone worth your time. The gorgeous, all-metal HTC One
M8 has a more sophisticated design, better speakers, and greater internal storage
for about the same price (32GB versus 16GB). The LG G3 also has an ultra-sharp
1,440p display and comparably robust specs. In addition, Apple finally yielded to its
big screen competitors and beefed up its new iPhone 6 (and even larger iPhone 6
Plus) with a 4.7- and 5.5-inch display, and plenty of powerful hardware. Should you
buy the GS5? If you want to go to sleep at night certain that you own the most ca-
pable, robust phone, yes.

Name: LG G FLEX 2
Model: FLEX 2
Android Version:4.4
Specs;32 GB/QUAD CORE
Price:2,700,000 UGX
Contract: Starting 400,000 UGX
LG G Flex 2 Is The World's Fastest Phone, Annihilates Samsung's Note 4 and Apple's iPhone 6
The Good The LG G Flex 2 sports a uniquely immersive and comfortable arched de-
sign, a sharp 1080p display, the latest Snapdragon 810 processor and a scratch-resistant coating.
The Bad The device's camera takes muted photos, its battery capacity is smaller than its predecessor, and performance can be slow at times, pending a software update.
The Bottom Line No longer just a daring experiment, the G Flex 2 finally has the killer
screen and top-of-the-line processor that its bold design deserves.
With its new G Flex 2, LG went back to its curved drawing board, corrected all the mis-
steps of the original G Flex -- namely its unwieldy size and unimpressive 720p display --
and delivered a marquee-worthy device. Equipping it with a crystal-clear 1080p
touchscreen and the latest quad-core Snapdragon 810 processor from Qualcomm, the
company managed to elevate its arched handset from a gimmick (as some saw it) to an
arched handset you actually want, regardless of its shape.
Such a task doesn't come easy for LG. Despite steadily pumping out premium phones like
the G Pro 2, Google Nexus 5 and G3, LG has had difficulty carving a place for itself in
the Android market. Its devices lacked the sophisticate aesthetic of the HTC One series,
the quirky customization incentives of Motorola, and the brand awareness of Samsung,
which overshadows all these companies. For a while, it seemed that LG was bound to be
without a hero phone that could set itself apart.
The Good The LG G3 has solid call quality and LTE data speeds, a great cam-
era, a brilliantly sharp display, a snappy quad-core processor, and a flat UI that makes
Android 4.4 look good. LG's flagship has also improved on the previous model -- the new
G3 comes with a removable battery and microSD card slot, both things the G2 lacked.
The Bad The new QHD display with its 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution is quite a power hog,
so the phone will barely last you a day without a charge.
The Bottom Line Possessing the right blend of features and design, the G3 finally gives
LG the right phone with which to challenge Korean rival Samsung.
LG has always played second fiddle to Samsung in the smartphone market, especially in Korea, but it looks like its latest flagship, the G3, could cause a major upset. Early reports from Korea show the G3 selling like hotcakes,outdoing Samsung's Galaxy S5 by three times in the initial launch period.
It's not hard to see why. Unlike the Galaxy S5, which shows a more conservative ap-proach in its design, LG's G3 goes bold with a new high-resolution "QHD" (2,560x1,440-pixel resolution) display, as well as adding a laser-guided autofocus for the camera.
That's not to mention the other design changes that address the issues of the previous
flagship, such as the addition of a microSD card slot and removable battery. With a clean-
er, toned-down redesign of the UI (it's running a reskinned Android 4.4 KitKat), the LG G3

Specs;32 GB/QUAD CORE
Price:1,800,000 UGX
Contract: Startig 300,000UGX
Name: IPHONE 6
Model: 6
IOS Version: 8.0.1
Specs; 32/128
Price: 2,400,000 UGX
Contract : 400,000 UGX
The Good The iPhone 6 delivers a spacious, crisp 4.7-inch screen, improved wire-
less speeds, better camera autofocus, and bumped-up storage capacities to 128GB at the top
end. iOS remains a top-notch mobile operating system with an excellent app selection, and
Apple Pay is a smooth, secure payment system.
The Bad Battery life isn't much better than last year's iPhone 5S. An even larger screen could
have been squeezed into the same housing.
The Bottom Line The iPhone 6 is an exceptional phone in nearly every way except its aver-
age battery life: it's thin and fast with a spacious screen and the smoothest payment system
we've seen. It's the best overall phone of 2014.
For years, Android phones have shipped with displays in expansive, 5-inch-ish sizes, but Ap-ple had insisted on the necessity of a small screen for one-handed operation. The iPhone 5S, while powerful, hit a wall in viewing room: its 4-inch screen was among the smallest on the market, and, frankly, I found it limiting.
Apple now has two larger iPhones: one big, the other even bigger. The iPhone 6 sports a 4.7-
inch screen, while the iPhone 6 Plus goes full "phablet" with a 5.5-inch display. Compared to
earlier iPhones, both of the new models boast thinner bodies, ship with faster A8 processors,
slightly improved cameras, speedier Wi-Fi and LTE cellular data, better voice quality if you're
using voice-over-LTE, and -- except in the entry-level models -- more onboard storage. And
like all current iPhones, these are running iOS 8.1; it's a far less revolutionary update
than iOS 7 was, but it adds some nice improvements and customization options, including no-
tification widgets, replaceable keyboards, a new Health app and Apple Pay.
That last feature is especially notable. Both new iPhones incorporate Apple's new payment system, effectively turning each of them into a mobile wallet linked to your credit card. This sort of contactless, NFC-powered technology has been around for years on rival phones. But having used it since its mid-October debut, I can say that it works seamlessly (most of the time), and the implementation of Apple's TouchID fingerprint reader puts it head and shoul-ders above current Android alternatives like Google Wallet. Of course, its convenience will be determined by how many participating retailers ultimately come on board.
Both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are very evenly matched, but the larger model boasts an up-
graded camera and longer battery life. In our real-world testing, the optical image stabilization
of the 6 Plus's camera didn't seem to deliver appreciably better photos than the already excel-
lent camera on the iPhone 6. On the other hand, our battery test found that the iPhone 6's
battery life was essentially identical to that of last year's iPhone 5S, while the larger battery in
the 6 Plus delivered at least two and a half hours more battery life just for video, and more de-
pending on your use case.
Name: IPHONE 6 plus
Model: 6 plus
IOS Version: 8.0.1
Specs; 32/128
Price: 3,300,000 UGX
Contract : 500,000 UGX
The Good IPhone 6 Plus The bigger battery means great battery life,
and the 5.5-inch screen is not only big but bright and high-contrast. Optical image
stabilization improves low-light photography.
The Bad The big footprint of the iPhone 6 Plus is not for everybody, and it's less
visually distinctive in overall design than previous iPhones. Also, apps that haven't
been optimized yet look blurry and have big keyboards.
The Bottom Line The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Ap-
ple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it,
give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
It's hard to imagine a phone more eagerly anticipated than the iPhone 6. After the
design revolution that was the iPhone 4, the much-anticipated iPhone 5 disappoint-
ed some with its modest visual update. People craved a handset with looks signifi-
cantly different than what had come before, and so those expectations shifted to
the iPhone 6.
In many ways, the iPhone 6 delivers on those design expectations (and in many other ways, as you can see in our full iPhone 6 review here), but if you're really longing for something totally different, look to the iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6 Plus is significantly larger, noticeably thinner, and -- perhaps most im-portantly -- offers far more endurance on a single charge than any previous iPh-one.
The iPhone 6 Plus is a great phone, but it isn't for everybody. I hate the word
"phablet" (literally, "phone" plus "tablet"), but you can't deny that's exactly what the
6 Plus is. Its 5.5-inch, 1080p IPS LCD deftly straddles the chasm that existed be-
tween the former 4-inch iPhone 5S and the 7.9-inch iPad Mini. While the new 4.7-
inch iPhone 6 fits in the same gap, the 6 Plus sits right in the sweet spot for those
who'd like a little more tablet in their smartphone.
Name: SONY XPERIA Z3 COMPACT Model:Z3
Android Version:4.4Specs;32 GB/QUAD CORE
Price:2,200,000 UGX Contract: 300,000 UGX
The Good The Sony Xperia Z3 packs great battery life, a bril-liant display, beautiful design and waterproof features. If you own a PS4, you'll also be able to play PS4 games remotely on your phone.
The Bad The UI can use updating -- all the icons just look way too big. While it may have a 20.7-megapixel camera, autofocus can be a little off, but nothing a quick tap on the screen can't fix.
The Bottom Line The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formida-
ble to date with a formidable display and promising features that
easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a
run for their money.
Sony's newest Z-series flagship phone didn't take long to arrive -- the Xperia Z2 was only announced earlier this year -- but in a flash it took its place as Sony's ultimate smartphone. It brings a new, refined design and is one of the first smartphones along with the smaller Z3 Compact and the Z3 Tablet Compact, to promise a deep integration with Sony's PlayStation 4 games console.
With the Z3, Sony finally integrates its various platforms into an
ecosystem that can rival Apple or Microsoft -- but on top of
Google's Android. Indeed, the company's purchase of the mo-
bile division from its joint partnership with Ericsson has finally
take fruit, after two and a half years.
Name: SAMSUNG NOTE 4 Model: NOTE 4
Android Version:4.4 Specs;32 GB/QUAD CORE
Price:2,000,000 UGX Contract : 300,000 UGX
The Good The 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a brilliant high-resolution
screen and takes excellent outdoor shots on its 16-megapixel camera with optical
image stabilization. Using the stylus is more convenient, and the battery charges
very quickly.
The Bad Low light and indoor shots aren't as good as they should be. The Note 4
costs significantly more than some other phablets, like the LG G3.
The Bottom Line The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast
phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a
lot for its winning stylus.
To stylus or not to stylus, that is the question.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4's S-Pen -- the narrow stylus tucked handily inside
Samsung's surprisingly successful, giant 5.7-inch Galaxy Note phone -- stands
out in a crowd. No other popular phone comes with a stylus, and this one makes
the most of its mouse like properties, and an ability to write and draw on the
screen. Every day, I've used it instinctively to jot a list or note, and to keep the
screen clean from finger smudges.
The Note 4's specs also earn outstanding marks across the board, including its eye-poppingly vibrant display and a mostly-excellent 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. Rapid LTE data speeds and a robust processor join a host of other specs and features that easily make the metal-rimmed, Android-powered Note 4 easily equal to other top-rated handsets -- and often better. The phone's drawbacks, though present, are minor and few.
As someone who enjoys the physical act of writing, I love the Note 4's stylus
skills. However, if the act of putting digital pen to paper baffles you, skip this
handset in favor of other big-screen phones that potentially cost less and perform
core tasks just as well. This year's Galaxy Note makes only incremental improve-
ments over last year's runaway Note 3, and if you don't use the S-Pen heavily,
the Note "phablet" costs too much compared to competing large-screen phones
like the LG G3.
