What phone to choose? You can either, check all of our tests, the comparison of mobile phones of the year, or go straight to the point, in our selection of the best phones of the moment.
They are called smart phones, smartphones or even multimedia phones, mobile jack-of-all brought their share of new and created new uses.
To the point that we almost forget that these devices are also used to call! Nice design and looks are certainly appealing arguments, but they are not sufficient: the appearance is sometimes misleading. Therefore, before to afford a new terminal, there are some things to check to avoid equipped with a mobile, or too feature-rich and difficult to use.
Prior to crack ...
This ensures that the mobile is made for you. Here are some tips for menus choose:
First, define what your real needs? Call first? Browse the Internet? Access email in real time? Having a phone in your pocket easy to use and acceptable battery life (over 2 days in intensive use)? That the terminal has made a good photo and / or video, it is good at games ...
Ergonomics: take a look at the finish of the case. Make sure there is no play between the parts and the easy access to the memory card, the SIM card. There are now great phone for a lightweight, in case of heavy use is a plus.
Display: turn it on, check if the brightness is sufficient (energy consumption, do not push through), look at the opening of the viewing angles (if the screen is nearly black from the side, forget this phone! ), and if the definition is good enough to display web pages, play a video ... We love AMOLED displays and Super AMOLED (attention, the colors are a little crazy, but it's flattering) the last Samsung and HTC, we also like the screen "Retina" the last iPhone 4.
Touch devices do not show all docile to use, which can quickly be annoying. Add to this the operating system, which turns the phone more or less swift, more or less integrated, more or less logical.
You are addicted to the written communication (SMS? Emails ...), verify that the touch screen is very specific that the keys are large and separated. Or, opt for a smartphone with a full keyboard physically.
Hang network / audio quality: what's more painful for an ultra-communicative than losing the reception to the network? Whenever possible, test the device. Some devices emit a light breeze, while others disguise the voice ...
The responsiveness of the device: what is the ignition time (beyond 20 seconds is a lot)? The loading time of a web page is fast? If the terminal is multitasking, proved he still alive when several applications running at the same time?
Autonomy: the small-Swiss knives are very energy efficient, normal, they are constantly solicited by the user! Basically, today, difficult to find a smartphone that takes more than a day and a half without having to charger. Some do not spend the day ...
Applications: the trend is personalization. The phone comes with several applications, but users can now add apps in emulation of their choice according to his needs. Just download the "apps" on the kiosk applications (AppStore for iPhone, Android Market for Google phones running the OS, Bada for new terminals Samsung Phone MarketPalce for Windows 7 ...). The richest and most eclectic in terms of choice (free and paid applications) AppStore (425,000 applications) and AndroidMarket (200,000 applications).
Accessories: microSD memory card is it included or not? Check the capacity of internal memory (at least 2 GB or 8 GB for camera phones). Hands-free headset with conventional or intra, piece or detachable headphones ...

The small bomb
Photo, video, Internet, social networks ... He does it all!
The Galaxy S was already quite full, Samsung made the second generation S an even more rooted in its time.
Mighty, the Galaxy S II also surprises in the form with extremely fine and light weight. It regrets, however, a Super AMOLED display more hysterical in color management.
For the rest, web, video, music and even phone, "GS II" sends heavy.
The alternative has an unparalleled interface
The interface designed by HTC is full of good ideas and handy widgets
The HTC Sensation is a safe bet that has nothing to be ashamed frankly to face some new-generation terminals.
This Androphone speak for those who want a smartphone very pleasant to use and does well in multimedia.
The strength of feeling? Sense, the interface for the most complete Android, supported by a mobile responsiveness almost flawless.
Its weak point? A screen less effective than the S Galaxy II and a video player that supports less formats.
Yes, yet another Android smartphone
Groomed, weight control, less sophisticated, it is aimed at a wider audience
The Optimus Black, with its light weight and sleek design, is undoubtedly one of the best smartphones running Android at the moment.
Less powerful than some of his two opponents and Sensation Galaxy SII, but also less expensive, it certainly will satisfy a wide range of users who have use for a smartphone supercharged. Furthermore, it stands up very well in all the proposed uses - attention no video capture at 1080p.
A smartphone with (good) touchscreen and a sliding keyboard
For ultra-connected smart
The HTC Z Desire is an excellent device intended primarily for fans of "customization" as it is full of services and widgets.
The terminal, with a great 3.7-inch touch screen, appears clearly as the benchmark of mobile - not many - Android keyboard.
Weaknesses: autonomy still feeble and a sliding keyboard to the opening mechanism quite noisy.
And if not? The Nokia E6 offers, too, a very good keyboard. If the management of calendars and contacts is great, he errs on the interface, much less user friendly.
A year later he won again
Interface but less richly adorned a stable and strong terminal
Released a year ago, the iPhone no longer figure 4 of reference (among technophiles), but still has assets valued. High-resolution screen, reactivity flawless quality shots, intuitive interface, many applications are all qualities that make a good mobile multimedia. A condition of accepting the covenant required to iTunes, an annoying point for some.
The release of IOS version 5 (early fall) should allow it to upgrade, especially in the management of notifications.
For the record, his successor should be announced in September.
