Or even a detail with yourself.
At the moment, one of the star terminals is the Samsung Galaxy S3. This mobile has already sold more than 30 million units since it went on sale at the end of May.

But if the person you are thinking of giving the smartphone to as a gift falls for mobile phones with a large format screen, the decision must orbit around the Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The Galaxy Note family is defined by having screens above five inches. The latest edition, which has sold more than three million units in just a couple of months, has a high-definition panel that stands at 5.5 inches.
Today it is the phone with the most powerful processor on the market. In design and performance it is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3, although in this case a smart pen is incorporated with which to expand the functions, both in terms of productivity and in its most creative side. It has come out directly with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and can be obtained for prices starting at 550 euros.
Still within the Android ecosystem, you may be interested in considering the possibility of giving away the jewel of the Japanese Sony catalog and James Bond's bedside mobile. This is the Sony Xperia T. This mobile combines design, functionality and comfort in a phone with a 4.5-inch screen and resolution, again, of high definition.
It is a little less powerful than the two terminals we have described, but installs a high megapixel camera thirteen, which is controlled by one of the software most remarkable of all smart phone sector. It has one of the best and most complete connection profiles on the market and a good configuration. The memory that it carries is 16 GB, expandable with microSD cards of up to 32 GB.

And since we are talking about mobile phones with a 4.5-inch screen, let's take advantage of that measure to make the leap from Android to Windows Phone. Microsoft's system launches a new version on the Nokia Lumia 920, a mobile that boasts the best definition on the panel for that measure, with a density of 332 dots per inch. This phone, which is about to reach Spanish stores, works with Windows Phone 8, a platform with which Microsoft wants to beat Apple and its iOS.
So much so that various prospective studies anticipate that in 2015 it will be the second operating system in world share, only surpassed by Android. But let's focus on the Nokia Lumia 920. This mobile has a very careful appearance, offers great resistance and integrates the surprising PureView technology in its 8.7 megapixel camera, which has a stabilization system that will greatly improve the results in photo and video capture compared to other phones on the market. In addition, with the help of an official accessory, it can be charged without the need for cables, using an induction-based system. On the other hand,you have free GPS thanks to the Nokia Drive application, as well as a series of exclusive Nokia applications and functions that no other Windows Phone has. Of course, its price is also at the height of its benefits: about 700 euros.
Before the Nokia Lumia 920 was presented, the Nokia Lumia 900 was the high-end of the Finnish house. A terminal to consider if you want to give a powerful Windows Phone at a more bearable price, even if it does not carry the latest of the latest.
And this phone will not be updated to Windows Phone 8, although it will update to Windows Phone 7.8, a version that adapts all the functions of Microsoft's most current platform for smartphones , although ignoring the support for some features that, on the other hand On the other hand, they are also not available in this terminal "" as the recognition of memory cards or proximity communication technology "", so in practice it is as if it had the latest from Redmond. The Lumia 900 has a 4.3-inch screen, an eight-megapixel camera and looks very similar to the top-of-the-line that happens to it. In this case, this equipment could be obtained for a price of around 500 euros.
And, of course, when we talk about the most outstanding smart phones on the market, we cannot leave out the iPhone 5. It is the most modern Apple phone, and the first to abandon the standard 3.5-inch screen to bet on four inches. It preserves the Retina resolution that was released in the iPhone 4 ”” defined by a density of 326 dots per inch ”” and improves processor power. It maintains the same camera that we saw in the iPhone 4S, although with a new "" sapphire glass lens that could be responsible for a purple flash that is reflected in some images.
If the person to whom you plan to give the iPhone 5 has already used other previous phones of the firm, you should know that the accessories that it has previously do not work with this model, since the latest Apple mobile has a new connection port physics, called Lightning, which requires a special adapter that, on the other hand, is not one hundred percent compatible with all the add-ons that have been released so far for previous generation devices. It has free GPS with its own Maps application, although the operation it offers is erratic "" to such an extent that it has cost the position of its head inApple. Yes, it has an excellent design and integrates wonderfully with other utilities in the house, so if that person you think give it is a fan of the company, it may be worth spending the extra between 670 and 870 euros that this phone costs, depending on the memory you want the iPhone 5 to incorporate .
Obviously, there are more models on the market that stand out for performance, design, price and solvency. However, the smartphones that we have presented are, in the opinion of tuexperto.com, the most interesting on the market at the moment.
