<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Galaxy S7 delivers in so many categories. It combines looks and performance like no other smartphone currently does. And the big three, the triangle of vital criteria – camera, display and battery – are all of the highest standard.  </div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For the first time in a number of years, we have struggled to find serious faults in a Galaxy S phone and, of all the devices that we have seen come through the office doors, it’s the phone which most of<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> AndroidPIT</em> have the least trouble recommending. No matter what your needs, the S7 will please.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We know it's a little naughty to have two devices occupying the first spot, but they are too similar to divide: how could we recommend one and leave the other off the list? If you want a bigger display and battery, the S7 Edge has the goods. If you want something smaller and wish to save fifty bucks, our recommendation goes to the S7 standard.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is the current standing, however: the Xiaomi Mi 5 and LG G5 have not been released yet. Once we’ve produced full reviews for those, we may need to revisit this list.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When it comes to the price/performance ratio, things get interesting. If you can afford to pay close to a grand for a phone, it's easy to get an incredible device, but what if you have a lower price point in mind? How do you make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You weigh up the benefits and features of a phone against its price and make a judgment call on what gets you the best performance and features for the lowest figure, with the fewest compromises.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We've been blessed with several low-cost devices this year that have been really impressive performers, but none more so than the Honor 7. Despite being in the sub-US400 price range, this thing looks like a US$700 flagship. Huawei, the parent company behind Honor, knows how to put together a nice-looking phone at any price point.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But the Honor 7 is more than just a pretty face. It also delivers solid performance and a bunch of premium features, including a fingerprint scanner, an all-metal build, excellent battery life and a front-facing camera with an LED flash – a rarity on smartphones in any price bracket. Add to this a great 20 MP main camera, and you can see why this phone is such good value.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There have been several new models in the Xperia Z series since the Z3 came out, but it is still our top pick for best battery life. Battery life is the most important consideration for many smartphone buyers and the Xperia Z3 has proven itself against not only other Xperias, but against the whole crop of 2015 flagships.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Where the Xperia Z3+ had too many issues to warrant the upgrade and the Xperia Z5 doesn't do so well in terms of battery life, the Full HD Z3 keeps chugging along with the same great battery optimizations we came to love in the Xperia Z2.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Quick Charge 2.0 also means you get speedy charge cycles and the Z3 has the largest battery capacity out of all recent Xperia phones: Z3 (3,100 mAh), Z3+ (2,930 mAh), Z4v (3,000 mAh) and Z5 (2,900 mAh).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you want to get best battery life from your phone, you could certainly have a worse starting point than the Xperia Z3. But if you apply all those battery saving tips you've learned over the years to a Z3, you'll be sitting pretty while everyone else is scrambling for a charger.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to you, the readers, as well as us here at AndroidPIT, the Xperia Z5 provides the best camera available on any Android device. Lightning fast autofocus, 23 megapixels, rock steady image stabilization and superb definition combine to make it an incomparable phone for photography.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The only downside is that the device is extremely difficult to get a hold of in the US. If you can find one, get it, but otherwise, consider the LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S6 or Moto X Pure Edition, which all pack fantastic cameras. They're just not quite up there with Sony's offering.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The sub-$400 price bracket is hotly contested, and in 2015 it's included more awesome phones than in any other year. As flagships have gotten more expensive, mid-range phones have stepped up in terms of quality and features, but haven't adopted the higher prices that go with them.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The OnePlus 2 represents a flagship experience at half the price of most current flagships. Sure, you will miss out on NFC, fast-charging and wireless charging, but that's about all the OnePlus 2 lacks.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It's one of the most hyped phones of all time, and that naturally comes with a little backlash when the phone is actually released. But the reality is that the OnePlus 2 is a very accomplished phone that hits almost all the targets it set out to hit. The invite system will stop taking new reservations on October 22, so if you're interested in a OnePlus 2 you need to act fast.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If we drop down to the next price bracket – the sub-US$250 range – we still have a very impressive group of phones to choose from. Even at a third of the price of many flagship devices, you can still get a lot of great features and hardware. But it's the Moto G (2015)'s impressive combination of price, features and update speed that gets it to the top of our list.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Asus ZenFone 2 and Huawei P8 Lite are close runners-up in this category, but the near stock Android interface and super fast update speeds of the Moto line gives the third generation Moto G the edge it needs to creep ahead (the P8 Lite is only just getting Lollipop whereas the Moto G is about to get Marshmallow).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Not everyone likes a 5.5-inch phone in their pocket. For some, a sub 5-inch display diagonal is the ideal size. The only problem is that pickings are pretty slim. Most Android phones with a display diagonal of less than five inches are pretty hopeless. Even Samsung and HTC seem to have given up on that particular niche.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; margin-top: 1.4rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Fortunately, Sony offers the Xperia Z5 Compact. The company took a different approach to the small phone concept – where other manufacturers watered down their flagship specs for their mini devices, Sony simply put flagship components into a smaller body. It's proven to be a winning formula and the Z5 Compact is worthy of our 'best small handset' title.</div>

ZTE's Android phone with '3D touch' is cool but far from perfect

<h2 style="background-color: white; clear: left; line-height: 1.27; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">A lot of bang for the buck</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After years of trailing behind the smartphone giants from Korea, Chinese manufacturers these days bring it not only in terms of specs, but also new technologies, their phones being almost too crammed with features.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">ZTE Axon mini is no exception. It has a pressure-sensitive screen, a fingerprint scanner, an eye scanner and a voice scanner, all of which you can use to secure the device. </span></div>
<span class="microcontent" data-description="That's a lot of security features, though the implementation is sometimes lacking" data-fragment="thats-a-lot-of" data-micro="1"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Pure specifications-wise, the phone is solid: It has a 5.2-inch, full HD screen, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage (expandable with microSD cards up to 128GB in size), a 13-megapixel back camera and an 8-megapixel selfie cam, and a 2,800mAh battery.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Also of note is the "audiophile-level" 192kHz/32bit AK4961 audio chip from Asahi Kasei Microdevices, coupled with dual microphones, which — in theory — offers superior sound reproduction and recording quality compared to most smartphones.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple of things drag the Axon mini into midrange territory, mainly the octa-core, 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor — a decent but not top-notch chip — and the use of Android 5.1 Lollipop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On the design front, even though the phone's body is made out of a "Boeing 787 aviation standard high-strength aluminum titanium alloy" with a faux-leather on the back's top and bottom, it just doesn't feel as premium as some of the top smartphones I've held. ZTE boasts a "2.5D" curved screen, but the curvature at the edges is barely noticeable.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It's hard to be objective about a smartphone's design these days — after all, they're all mostly slabs of metal with a big screen on the front — so it's quite possible someone else would have a different impression. To me, the ZTE Axon mini looks good, but not amazing.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; clear: left; line-height: 1.27; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">It's all about the experience</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As I've noted in my Huawei Mate S review — which, being the only other Android with a pressure-sensitive screen right now, will inevitably be compared with the ZTE Axon mini — merely listing the specs of an Android phone nowadays tells you very little. It's the little things that make the difference: Does everything work out of the box, or does it require some fiddling? Is it stable, long-term? How much bloatware is pre-installed?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Thankfully, the Axon mini does not go overboard with pre-installed apps. Its MiFavor UI 3.2 user interface, slapped on top of Android 5.1 Lollipop, is mostly unobtrusive, though users will have to get used to the lack of an app drawer — all apps are scattered across the screen and in folders, just like on iOS. I uninstalled a few apps I definitely did not need, installed the 20-or-so apps that I regularly use, and I was on my way.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Where ZTE Axon mini stumbles somewhat is the execution of its multitude of features. Don't get me wrong: Everything works, but it might take you a little time to get there.</span></div>

</figure><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For example, the fingerprint scanner only read my finger correctly one out of three or so times, even though I went through the setup process twice. I eventually figured out the angle at which I needed to press my finger against it, but in the end, typing in my PIN code to unlock the smartphone was an easier option.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As far as the pressure-sensitive screen goes, it can be used to access additional menus for most of the phone's pre-installed apps, weighing things with a scale app, setting up a 3D password (which registers not only the numbers and letters, but also the force you apply to each symbol) or even catch fish in an animated screensaver.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">However,</span><span class="microcontent" data-description="the pressure sensor did not always correctly catch my intention, even after some calibration" data-fragment="the-pressure-sensor-did" data-micro="1" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the pressure sensor did not always correctly catch my intention, even after some calibration</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. After a while, I adjusted the way I pressed on the screen and things got better, but never perfect. I had other issues with the screen — for example, I often couldn't get the multi-touch zoom on photos to work correctly; it stuttered, and instead of zooming in, the gallery app would sometimes switch to a different photo.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I've tested ZTE's eye-scanning technology at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and while it worked as advertised, I wasn't sure it was the greatest or the fastest way to unlock your device. On the Axon mini, the feature is called Sky eye, and it can only be used to access private spaces or locked apps, but not to unlock the phone. Suffice to say you won't be using this one too much.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally, the occasional misspelling in a system menu or just plain odd behavior were reminders that the Axon mini simply lacks some polish.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; clear: left; line-height: 1.27; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Sights and sounds</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Quick: How excited are you when you hear the words "13-megapixel camera?" I thought so. These days, practically every Android smartphone has one, and most produce decent photos, though in my view, none of them are as good as the iPhone's camera.</span></div>
<div class="see-also" style="background-color: white; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.5px; text-transform: uppercase;">

<div class="inline-ad-seealso" style="margin: 0px 18.75px 0px auto; max-width: 625px;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So instead of fiddling with a Axon mini's zillion camera features, I focused on two things: How fast it is, and how well does it take photos in low-light conditions.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Axon mini fares good but not great on both counts. In sunlight, photos are great and snapping them takes a fraction of a second. In low light, the phone will often warn you not to move it for a second or two, as the photo is still being taken, and even if you oblige that, the photos will sometimes be blurry.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When you do manage to snap a sharp photo in a poorly lit room, the colors will be pretty true to reality, but — as you can see in the comparison below — the level of detail will be far below what you get on an iPhone 6 (the iPhone is on the left, the Axon mini on the right).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Lastly, I had to test Axon mini's audio capabilities. I whipped out my trusty old Creative Labs Aurvana Live headphones — still the best pair I own, despite being the cheapest — and chilled out with John Coltrane's <em>A Love Supreme</em>, Wilco's <em>Yankee Hotel Foxtrot</em>, Fink's <em>Perfect Darkness</em> and Thome Yorke's <em>The Eraser</em>. While all four recordings sounded great (Coltrane and Fink were MP3s, Wilco and Yorke were FLAC), it's hard to tell how great without a direct comparison.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I compared the same music with an iPhone 6 (whose audio capabilities we thoroughlytested) and even a MacBook and, as expected, with the same headphones I simply could not hear the difference. That does not mean it doesn't exist, but unless you're an audiophile with some serious equipment, you probably don't need to worry about the audio chip in your smartphone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">The pressure is on</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The ZTE Axon mini Premium Edition is an odd beast. It has a lot of premium features, but its processor drags it down. With a 5.2-inch screen and a "mini" moniker, it definitely feels like a weaker, smaller version of the ZTE Axon Pro — but then again, it has a pressure-sensitive screen, and the Pro doesn't.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Still, </span><span class="microcontent" data-description="most of ZTE Axon mini Premium Edition's advanced features left me cold" data-fragment="most-of-zte-axon" data-micro="1" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">most of ZTE Axon mini Premium Edition's advanced features left me cold</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. The "3D touch" screen is nice, but I nearly never used it. The fingerprint scanner was shoddy. I never had the need to use Sky eye. So what we're left it is a solid, but not a spectacular midrange phone, with some minor issues and a lot of cool tech you won't really use except to impress your friends.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">That means the price will be by and far the deciding factor here, and the ZTE Axon mini does not disappoint. The phone can be had for about $389 from AliExpress — a well-known Chinese site that ships worldwide. Compare that to the Huawei Mate S, whose cheapest variant with pressure-sensing tech costs about $785, and you got yourself a bargain.</span></div>
