The Apple iPhone 5s is here at last, ready to stake its claim once again as the greatest smartphone on the planet. Things are a little different this year though - and it’s not just because there are bigger and better Android blowers out there. This au...
Good The iPhone 5s is a beautiful device - but you already knew this. It always has been, and this year’s flagship model is no different. In fact, it’s almost identical to the iPhone 5: it’s compact, light and polished, and the four-inch Retina Display is vivid and dangerously sharp. Apple knows not to fix what ain’t broke.There is one major change on the outside: the home button now sports a ring aro...
Bad If you’ve got an iPhone 5, the 5s will throw few surprises your way. Very few. Too few: it’s identically sized, for one thing, so the screen remains as cramped as ever. While plenty of people prefer displays you can reach across with one finger or thumb, it would be nice for Apple to get with the program and offer a larger variant to take on the new breed of Android phablets. If you were hoping f...
Bottom line The Apple iPhone 5s is the phone we expected, if nothing else. It’s more powerful than ever, with a better battery life, all inside the same slick design. If you’re toting an iPhone 4 at the end of its contract and a truly fantastic camera matters to y...

The iPhone 5S is Apple's latest flagship smartphone, one that tweaks and enhances the iPhone 5. With almost all of 2013's smartphone models revealed - except for the Nexus 5 - this is where Apple sets out its stall for the next year. The "S" models from...

Good A7 processor makes for speedier navigation through iOS 7, plus enhanced graphics. Touch ID sensor is extremely cool and useful. iSight camera is even better than before. Very good battery life. Retina display and LTE quality just as strong as on iPhone 5.

Good Built upon iPhone 5's solid hardware foundation, the 5s adds nextgen processing chops and a totally usable fingerprint reader. iOS 7 brings Apple up to par with Android, and you get access to what's arguably still the better ecosystem.

Over the past several weeks, we've been enjoying the presence of the Sony Xperia Z2 at our office. We gave it the review treatment it deserved, we compared it thoroughly against many of its high-end rivals, and we even featured it in a recent blind cam...
Bottom line As its predecessor, the Sony Xperia Z2 is an excellent cameraphone and a worthy competitor to the best shooters out there. Sony's flagship performed commendably in most of our tests, outrunning all of the challengers but the Galaxy S5. Failures weren't...

Apple's next flagship iPhone is finally here. The company took the stage in September and announced the iPhone 5s alongside the iPhone 5c, the first time ever that it revealed two devices at the same time, and in this review we're going to focus on the mo...
Bottom line The iPhone 5s is a great phone. Do we recommend it? Absolutely. It's clearly the best iPhone Apple has ever built. But if you're an iPhone fan we need to answer whether or not it's worth an upgrade from an older device. That depends on the device you have...

We've tested dozens upon dozens of smartphone cameras over the past several years, and Samsung's offerings have always been among the very best. The Galaxy S II, for example, was an excellent performer for its time, producing detailed images and even 1...
Bottom line So, we wanted to know how the 16MP camera on the Samsung Galaxy S5 performs, and the results from our comparison are now in. The answer is not going to surprise anyone – the phone is ideal for taking photos and videos under a broad range of circumstanc...

The day is February 19, 2013. HTC is about to announce its new Android flagship phone, and the tension in the air can be cut through with a butter knife. Rumors are suggesting that the company will introduce a new, revolutionary smartphone camera techn...
Bottom line We have to admit it, guys. We were not excited when we learned that the new HTC One will use an UltraPixel camera, just like its 2013 predecessor. But now, after putting the phone's camera through its paces, our skepticism has vanished for the most par...

Until recently, Huawei and Oppo were brand names with little to no recognition on the smartphone scene – pretty much nobody had heard about them. Things, however, have changed a bit over the past few years. Both companies have proven that they're capab...
Bottom line We knew that the Huawei Ascend P7 and the Oppo Find 7a, along with their 13MP cameras, had plenty of potential, but we didn't expect them to be this good. We were surprised by all the detail that the Find 7a captured in its photos, while the images fro...

Bottom line It's clear that if you're on the lookout for a new smartphone now, the iPhone 6 will be a much better investment, seeing that you'll be getting a phone that improves on the 5s' experience in almost every way, with the exception of one-handed comfort. Natu...

LG's flagship for the year, the G3, is stuffed to the gills with modern specs, and even throws a thrill or two, in the form of a display with record pixel density, and a unique laser autofocus system. Apple's iPhone 5s, on the other hand, offers a more m...
Bottom line The LG G3 and the iPhone 5s not only seem worlds apart when it comes to ergonomics and one-handed usage, but we found them to be quite different in terms of features, too. The steel-and-glass design of the iPhone 5s is more premium, and is way more comfor...

The trajectory of the iPhone is, in most ways, the trajectory of Apple over the past decade. Insane ambition, untouchable dominance, the inevitable slowing of momentum. And now, reinvention, sort of. Mostly from iOS 7, partly from the iPhone 5S itself. Bu...
Good The iPhone is still a beautiful phone, and iOS is more functional than ever. The redesign of the software makes it feel fresh, even though the phone looks more or less the same as last year. TouchID really works, and it's a huge convenience...
Bad The camera is good, but its flash is a disappointment. Battery life isn't good, especially compared to some of the behemoths out there. And in places, iOS 7 feels unfinished, or poorly thought out...
Bottom line The 5s is full of contradictions. Its iterative, boring, gimmicky, while at the same time taking the first, unsure steps into making the kind of smartphones and software Apple isnt already dominant in. Which is all-important for the company, but less so...
