Nokia Lumia 920 – Though unreleased at the time of writing, Nokia's new Windows Phone 8 device has made quite and impression in the industry with a sharp design and an abundance of innovative features.

4" Retina Display; 4G LTE Ready; iSight Camera

Doesn′t support NFC; Apple Maps needs work

The response to Apple's huge iPhone 5 launch was more mixed than a Fatboy Slim album. Many applauded Apple on creating what was sure to be the best iPhone yet, complete with larger screen and a new slimline design.

Typically slick Apple design; 4G support (eventually); Bigger, more vibrant screen; Strong performance; Almost the same great camera as 4S; Siri is actually useful now

Eye-wateringly expensive; iOS 6 showing its age; Maps is buggy and limited; Ugly borders around most apps; No memory card slot; Still feels fragile

Apple has done a great job on the hardware overhaul to bring the thinnest, lightest iPhone yet, but there's a lack of any new 'wow' features, and the firm needs to do a quick fix-it job on Apple Maps.

Thin and light design; larger 16:9 high-quality display; 4G support

Google Maps removal; no wow factor

We're not surprised that this is the best iPhone to date. It's thin, light and has a roomy 4-inch Retina screen. But the operating system feels dated and there are some major issues. Plus, Apple has brought nothing major new to the show.

Sleek Apple design; 4G support to come; larger, vibrant display; powerful performance; nearly the same great snapper as on the 4S; Siri proves her worth now

Steep price; OS looks dated; Maps limited and suffer from bugs; Most apps have ugly borders; Lack of memory card slot; Fragile feel

Enhanced, refined and more powerful than ever, but mapping issues keep the iPhone 5 off the top spot

Slickest smartphone out there; Gorgeous 16:9 Retina screen; Disconcertingly thin and light

Old accessories will need an adapter; You'll want to upgrade the Earpods; Apple Maps can get lost

There is no hype in the world of technology or smartphones that comes anywhere near that which surrounds the iPhone. It's the single device that draws more rumour, more speculation, more comment, more analysis than any other.

Will scuff; iOS 6 plays it too safe

I've been a been iphone fan for quite some time now....I moved from Blackberry to Apple and have no regrets! The iphone 5 is a great product from Apple, the features of the iphone 5 are great and perfect for pretty much organising your life as well as providing entertainment value from the App...

A taller screen and a sumptuous redesign for the iconic smartphone, but Apple's latest iPhone falls tantalisingly short of a place on our A-List

The iPhone 5 is more than just Apple's latest high-end smartphone. In a world of huge slabs of phone the iPhone's thin profile makes it different to the Galaxy S4 , Sony Xperia Z , HTC One , BlackBerry Z10 , Nokia Lumia 925 and the rest of the high-end phone lineup.

Updated: The most beautiful and powerful iOS device to date, the iPhone 5 packs a gorgeous 4in screen and dual-core power.
