    In the year of 2014, we have seen a lot of smartphones. Many came and went leaving very little trace. But some of them stayed and left a mark in this smartphone era. These phones dominated today’s smartphone world. I have listed out a few of these smartphones that are ruling the smartphone world.

1. iPhone 6 Plus

Top 7 Smartphones of 2014


    iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are the latest versions of iPhones released by Apple. The iPhone 6 Plus is really big with a 5.5 inches screen, as big as a tablet. Well we could say that it is more of a phablet than a phone. The screen is not only big but also bright and high contrast. The screen is also shatter proof. And the battery too is bigger in size meaning more battery life. It supports 3g and 4g networks. And it also has the TouchID feature as seen on the iPhone 5S which enables you to unlock the iPhone 6 Plus with the touch of your finger. It comes with 1GB RAM and in 16/32/64 GB variations.  It also has an 8 MP rear camera and 1.2 MP front cameras which lets you take high quality pictures and videos.   It runs on a dual core 1.4 GHz processor which makes it one of the best smartphones in the world. It also supports the latest iPhone OS, iOS 8.

    The release of G3 by LG has put the company back on top. It has an amazing design and it comfortably fits in your hands, regardless of the size. The LG G3 has a metallic back instead of shiny plastic as seen on LG G2. The power and volume buttons are found at the back. Unlike the previous version the G3 has a removable battery as well as a Micro SD card slot. It also supports high LTE data speeds which make surfing the internet a breeze. It runs on a Quad-core 2.5 GHz processor and the smartphone comes in two variants- a 16GB internal memory along with 2 GB RAM version and a 32GB internal memory with 3GB Ram version.

4. iPhone 6

    iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus was released together by Apple this year. The iPhone 6 has more features packed than its predecessor. But there is no improvement in the battery life though. The battery has poor life like the iPhone 5s but has more memory capabilities, better wireless connectivity, better camera and the best OS there is. It sports a 4.7 inch screen but they could have made it bigger considering the space lest in the body casing. It comes in three variants- a 16 GB, a 64GB and 128 GB version and all three versions have 1 GB RAM and runs on a 1.4 dual-core processor. The camera on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are similar- 8 MP camera at the front and a 1.2 MP camera at the back.  Yes there are Android smartphones with better performance, less costly, better memory capabilities and better battery lives but this is the best iPhone that has ever been released and along with the new iOS 8, anyone who takes a look at it wants to buy it.      

5. HTC One M8
