Top 5 Smartphones on the Market
It’s incredible to think how far phone technology has come over the past 15 years. Futuristic technology that previously seemed impossible is now reasonably affordable and accessible for the average consumer. Research shows that roughly 64% of people in the U.S. have a smartphone. As that number continues to rise, we often hear the question, “what are the top 5 smartphones?”
Of course, the answer to this question is subjective based on your needs and desires. But when it comes to the top 5 smartphones on the market today, here are our choices.
5. Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Kicking off our list of the top 5 smartphones is the Galaxy Note 4. With a rich 5.7-inch display and a 2.7GHz processor, the Note 4 is great for streaming video and running programs that require a solid system. 32GB of memory with 3GB of RAM allows this device to tackle nearly anything you ask of it. The included stylus is also a nice bonus for typing or tracing on the screen.
4. Motorola Moto X
For a slightly more affordable price, the Moto X is an excellent option. With a 5.2-inch full HD display, and up to 24 hours usage time, this device is great for streaming video or running apps. The 13MP camera takes photos before and after you snap the shot, which allows you to choose the best possible picture. The Moto X even learns your preferences, such as “safe zones” like your home. Anytime you leave your safe zones, your phone automatically locks to keep your device secure. These are just a few features that bring this device in at number 4 on our list of top 5 smartphones.
