The feel of the iPhone 6 is like nothing they’ve given us before, it’s a thinner lighter version of their earlier mobiles and is a pleasure to use. With all the utility you’d expect from Apple, plus a world class intuitive operating system in iOS 8, this is a design classic with a price tag to match. The screen maybe lower resolution than others on the market, but the easy-to-use camera and wealth of other apps, make that very a minor niggle.

LG G3

After the success of their G2 LG needed to produce a phone that not only upped the performance quota, but also kept within a lower price range. The display is still pin sharp – even stretched over a 5.5 inch screen – but an improved and simplified interface makes it even more user friendly. There’s a memory card slot for adding extra data and a removable battery in case it ever needs replacing.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is easy to set up and use straight out of the box, but if it doesn’t feel right, just change the flip screens around to suit you. The biggest selling point is the S Pen, a refined and precise tool that works with a function wheel, enabling users to perform complex moves in seconds. The 16mp camera takes stunning shots in daylight, but works equally well after dark using night mode.

iPhone 6 Plus

The iPhone 6 Plus doesn’t have quite the enviable reputation of its smaller relation, but this is still an impressive machine. The battery life is massively increased, a larger screen is rendered in full HD and as with all Apple gadgets, users get a hotline to the company’s useful tools and apps. The Plus is a big, bright and fast mobile – ideal if you want a phone that does it all and don’t mind paying a premium price.
