What's the best mobile phone? Our verdict on the best smartphone / best phones - constantly updated

We've all got at least one mobile phone each, right? We've probably got about three or four nowadays, and that counts giving your old Nokia 3310 to your Mum a few years ago.

But while you used to be able to just bank on the new Nokia or always get the next Sony Ericsson because it had a half-decent camera, there are now so many great options out there from loads of manufacturers.

The trouble is, how do you decide which is the best one for you?

Well, this is where we make it easy. Because here we have our continually updated comparison of the top 20 best smartphones currently adorning phone emporiums up and down the UK.

The last update saw the HTC One maintain its place at the top of the charts, holding off multiple challenges from Nokia, Samsung, LG and Sony (namely the Galaxy S4) - showing the smartphone market still has a fair few players.

But the HTC One is nearly 6 months old. That's an age in smartphone terms, and now Apple has doubled down, bringing out a phone at the same price (the iPhone 5C) and pulling no punches with the supercharged iPhone 5S, so where will both land in our top 20?

But it's by no means a 'can Apple topple HTC' kind of race - as HTC has created a cheaper version of the One (the HTC One Mini, of course), LG's gone all out with the aptly named LG G2, and even Sony is continually pushing the smartphone envelope with the Sony Xperia Z1 - so who knows who will be number one these days?

The budget brigade are now making more of a play for the top spot than ever before, so see what we think about the low, low priced Moto G, Nexus 5 and Nokia Lumia 520.
