Holiday Gift Guide 2014
Android
For those who demand the best Android experience possible.Android smartphones come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and features. While some offer more value for the dollar, others feature unique performance characteristics that set them apart from the crowd. Android provides consumers with great potential and flexibility. We feel these represent the best hardware available across the four national carriers with Google's Android operating system on board.
iPhone
For the Apple lover, only this phone will do.Apple may introduce one or two new phones each year, but it continues to sell its older phones at a reduced price. Don't be tricked into snagging last year's device for the die-hard iPhone fan. No, you need to get one of the brand newest ones. We feel the iPhone 6 offers the best overall Apple experience thanks to the nice size, high quality build, excellent performance, and incredible camera.
Windows
For the Windows fan in your life.Apple and Google may have the two most widely-adopted smartphone platforms around the world, but that doesn't mean they're a good fit for everyone. Microsoft has made a strong push around consolidating the user experience across its PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Moreover, the company acquired Nokia's handset business this year, which means Microsoft now makes both the operating system and the smartphone. These devices represent the best selection of Windows Phone devices this year. A few notes, however: 1. Sprint sells a single WP handset, so we didn't have much choice there: 2. We picked the Lumia 530 over the One for Windows for T-Mobile due to the strength of Microsoft's exclusive Lumia apps.
