'polished overall experience'

'It’s easily the most impressive phone available under $300, and it doesn’t force you to make the compromises that are commonly required by cheap phones. '

'Mesmerizing IPS-based display'

'Updated with Motorola’s newest Mobile Computing System, which is comprised out of a natural language processor, contextual computing chip, and a quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC coupled with 2GB of RAM, we’re seriously impressed by the Moto X’s super snappy responsiveness. '

'stunning phone'

'this smartphone doesn’t need flashy casing to prove outstanding.'

'If you've made it this far, you've already discovered that the Moto X compares pretty favorably to premium phones like the One M8 and the Galaxy S5. '

'The G Flex 2 is a refreshing approach to smartphone design, but it doesn't mask a phone that's behind the smartphone curve.'

'One thing is clear though: it's distinct, it's unique, it's something a little different - so why not go for a curved model'.'

'LG made sure the G Flex2 is the sort of phone that turns heads, but the company also seemed content to play it safe with the software.'

'It’s disappointing that Sony hasn’t matched the Z3’s Full HD display, but this is still good for a phone this size, and it matches what the competition currently offers.'

'The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact packs a larger screen than its predecessor in the same size body, it has tonnes of power, it's completely waterproof allowing for underwater photography and it has a good camera.'

'fairly sharp picture'

'In a market full of unwieldy phones, it is refreshingly good to come across a mobile that's actually handy.'

' The Xiaomi Mi 4i packs some fairly impressive hardware, including a 5-inch full-HD display, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a solid compact build while still sticking very close to the lower end of the cost spectrum. '

'Stunning display.'

'Sound quality is the most responsive in the mid-range frequency.'

'With decent hardware and a price tag of around ?300, it is a solid phone. '

'It will feel comfortable to most users and the Xperia M4 Aqua is very thin and light for a mid-range phone at 7.3 mm and 136 g.'

'   ZTE. 's Blade S6 is a desirable mid-range Android Lollipop phone with 4G LTE connectivity and some smart features. '

'It’s a pain the Blade S6 doesn’t have 4G support in the U.S. too, because at $250, it’s an extremely competent phone with a highly competitive price tag. '

'This particular hardware setup is quite good, especially for a sub $300 phone.'

'4G and dual-SIM.'

'YU Yuphoria offers an impressive package at Rs 6,999 and at this price point, the Yuphoria’s design does manage to stand out from competition. '

'fresh new UI'

'Spectacular screen.'

'We have heard worse speakers, and the Galaxy S5 can handle its own top volume without distorting significantly. '

'the display does look brilliant on a number of levels.'

'The mono speaker gets adequately loud and does its job.'
