The 5 best smartphones of the year 2013
We bring you the best smartphones of 2013. These smartphones stood out from the rest of the army of smartphones by achieving the optimal combination of best performance, best design and superior overall experience.
The most powerful Android: Sony Xperia Z1
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, the Xperia Z1 is by far the most powerful Android smartphone you can buy in India, today. Sony seems to be intent on building a design identity, much like Samsung has done. Which is why, the Xperia Z1 follows pretty much the same design theme and materials seen in the Xperia Z and the Xperia Z Ultra
The future-proof iPhone: Apple iPhone 5s
While it looks mostly like the predecessor, the iPhone 5s is a completely different beast internally. The A7 processor is logically a major upgrade over the predecessor, but the bigger change is the M7 co-processor, which picks up data from various sensors even while the phone may be asleep. This provides a major boost to some apps like fitness apps and navigation. Apple also introduced the 64-bit architecture with the new processor, and to kick it off, ported all of Apple’s own apps to it

Pure Android, 2013 edition: LG Nexus 5 (by Google)
The Nexus 4, through this year, has fallen behind the newer Android flagships. The Nexus 5 packs in a bigger screen this time around - 5-inch Full HD IPS+, with Gorilla Glass 3. Those who cannot suffer other Android phones because of the customizations and skins, would be delighted with this upgradeAnd yes, how can we forget Google’s promise of instant OS updates being rolled out for Nexus smartphones and tablets? It doesn't have the best camera around though, but Google has identified the problem and an update has already been rolled out to improve the snapper’s performance.

Amazing effort: LG G2
The LG G2 could have been the smartphone of the year, but the Sony Xperia Z1 just pipped it to the post because of slightly better performance and a slightly more premium finish. But, for what is essentially plastic, the thin bezels on the right and left of the screen meant that the G2 was a lot more comfortable to hold than most of the rivals. The 5.2-inch display is by far one of the best that's currently available on any available smartphone. The 5.2-inch screen has a pixel density of 424ppi, while the 5-inch screen on the Galaxy S4 has 441ppi

Snapper’s delight: Nokia Lumia 1020
If you are extremely concerned about the quality of pictures your smartphone’s camera can pull off, then just do the honorable thing, and get yourself a proper Lumia phone. If the Lumia 1020 is within your budget, this will be the best device you can buy. The 41MP sensor, paired with the Nokia Pro Cam app does the best possible job of getting the best out of the hardware. It offers full manual control over every aspect of creating a photograph such as shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, white balance and even offers the ability to manually focus the lens. The f/2.2 lens is very good with low light shots.
