Galaxy Note 5
The newest from Samsung brings a premium feeling to its design with the use of metal and glass.
The curved screen is not present but what’s curved is the rear. A phablet of this size is harder to
hold but the curved back made the grip a bit more natural, especially when you are attempting to
write notes on this device. The façade is almost the same throughout the years but they still seem
to surprise the consumers with new things.
HTC One
HTC undoubtedly made the best looking phones during the Android transition especially when
the HTC One came out. This one had the best build and at the same time the only phone to sport
two front facing speakers. This translates to better audio output when watching a video using
loudspeakers and the sound is directed toward you. I forgot to mention that these are stereo
speakers. No one else attempted to do this even until now.
HTC Hero
This phone had a “chin” which is its angular bottom. Apart from this unique design, the phone
uses premium matte plastic that is almost rubbery to give it extra grip. The chin allows the screen
to avoid getting scratched when placed on a surface.
HTC Sensation XE
I like the color accents: the earpiece, the trim of the camera lens nest and the red-backlit
capacitive controls. The finish of the rear is another point in favor. While the original Sensation
did look patched up from different pieces, the XE has a single color soft rubbery finish and a
piece of aluminum. It's by no means a compact handset but fortunately designed to provide a
good grip. The rubbery finish and curved shape of the battery cover are of much help.
Nokia X7-00
During the last few runs of Symbian, Nokia still made the best looking phones for almost 2
decades. Most were gimmicky but they still did their purpose. X7-00 looked stealthy and
futuristic. It is rectangular with beveled corners showing grills. Despite the alienating look, It is
very comfortable to hold. It bested other manufacturers in terms of design during its release.
Nokia 3250
The alpha-numeric keypad of Nokia 3250 is definitely phone's most attractive element. Besides a
standard keypad its rotary segment also features a 2 megapixel camera and four control keys for
the phone's built-in music player. The bottom part of the device turns one way to an angle of 90°
and the other way up to 180°. It moves in four-rev cycles. Stopping is precise, and is
accompanied by a pleasant dimmed clap. Apart from fulfilling certain functions rotating is also
quite entertaining and reminds me of Rubik's famous cube. I can assure you that if not on Nokia
3250's color your friends' looks will certainly lay down on phone's rotary keypad.
Nokia N93
The N93 resembles a camcorder. The upper part of the handset's body is taken by the
zoom lens. Unlike Nokia N90, the lens cannot be rotated. There is a plastic protective
cap, which you might lose soon if you don't use the supplied string. The swivel joint for
the upper part of the clamshell is positioned on the right side of the lens tube.
Motorola RAZR V series
No doubt, People years ago loved this phone. It is a clamshell phone yet it was slimmer than a lot
of phones. This was made possible by making it wider. It was so slim that people are very careful
with their RAZRs. It was widely loved by consumers due to its premium design. It slips in the
pocket easily that sometimes you feel that it is not there at all. It was also able to put a second
screen on the outside for time and notifications.
Oppo N1
The device has an aluminum alloy frame going around its sides and the back is treated to an
impressively sleek soft finish, which is great to the touch and virtually impervious to
fingerprints, while offering excellent grip. Above the screen, the earpiece and sensors are on one
side of the rotating bit, the 13MP camera and two LED flashes on the other. There are two
flashes - one is a bright LED for regular shots (when the camera is pointed back), but when you
turn the camera beyond a certain angle, the phone uses automatically the diffused one so your
selfies turn out with a more pleasing skin tone.
Sony Xperia Z1
OmniBalance permeates the Sony Xperia line, making high-end phones stand out and more
affordable phones look premium. The Xperia Z1 is as high as it gets in the smartphone food
chain and Sony has spared no expense building it. The aluminum chassis is carved out of a solid
block of aluminum and it really is just a frame - most of the material is removed, leaving only a
light but tough frame. The two scratch-resistant glass panels on the front and back, the big
battery and the water-resistant seals are surely to blame for making the Xperia Z1 heavier than
the competition.
