The Best Smartphone Of The Year Has Been Revealed

With smartphone technology progressing exponentially every year, it's no surprise that things in the industry fluctuate quickly. A tech company is only as good as its last model, and this year saw Apple, Samsung, Sony, HTC or Huawei battle it out to be the pick of the bunch. This year saw major improvements in each manufacturer's new devices, but the winner as chosen by siliconrepublic is... Apple iPhone 6s. The site explains: "There are a bunch of things that populate consumers’ top criteria when getting a smartphone. "Battery, apps, camera, memory and screen size would each play primary concern to the majority of buyers." "The 6 range has taken the iPhone up a serious notch, with the first item on that list, battery life, improved markedly. It was true of the 6, and now it is true of the 6s, too." Other smartphones that received honourary mentions from the site were Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge "bringing in a design that is quite comfortably the best of the bunch" and the HTC One M9.
