Motorola Moto X (2014):
Best OverallThe best smartphone you can buy is also priced $100 less than other flagships. Say pleased to meet you to the second-generation Motorola Moto X. For $99, you get a sleek-looking phone with a highly customizable design and a gorgeous 5.2-inch 1080p display. Beneath the sleek exterior lies a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 that offers buttery smooth performance. Based on our testing, the Moto X is faster in everyday use than the Galaxy S5 and other Android phones that use a skin on top of Android.
The new Moto X’s 13-MP camera is also improved, offering faster performance though not the best color accuracy. Compelling features like Moto Voice (think Siri, but completely hands-free) and Moto Display (think smartwatch convenience, without the watch) make this handset the best Android phone of the year and our top pick overall.
iPhone 6 plus:
Best Smartphone Camera PhoneThere are two flavors of iPhone 6 available now, but the iPhone 6 Plus is especially worthy of your (large) pocket. On top of its vivid 5.5-inch, 1080p display and blazing A8 processor, the iPhone 6 Plus is the only new iPhone to sport optical image stabilization for extra-crisp low-light photos. You also get Focus Pixel tech for faster autofocus, exposure control, a new slow-motion video mode at 240 fps and the ability to capture time-lapse video. Unlike the regular iPhone 6, the Plus has a dual-pane landscape mode for various apps, making you more productive.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4:
Best PhabletThe Galaxy Note 4 is so much more advanced than your typical big screen phone that it's practically in a class by itself. The quad HD screen is truly dazzling, and the 16-MP with optical image stabilization can go toe to toe with any other handset. This also happens to be the first smartphone with Qualcomm's blazing Snapdragon 805 CPU. But Samsung truly ups the ante with its improved S Pen functionality (it feels like pen and paper) and enhanced multitasking features that Apple can't touch. Although the battery life isn't best-in-class, the Note 4 packs a lot of goodness in its sexy new metal frame.
Oneplus One:
Best No-Contract PhoneYou won't find a better deal anywhere off-contract. For hundreds less than the full-price cost of the iPhone 5s and Galaxy S5, the OnePlus One is a beast in the best sense of the word. Beneath its 5.5-inch, full HD display you'll find a fast Snapdragon 801 processor running Cyanogen Mod software, which enhances Android with more customization and security options. We especially love the epic 13-plus hours of battery life. While the camera could be better in low light, overall the One is a steal.
Samsung Galaxy S5 Active:
Best Waterproof SmartphoneYou don't have to be an andrenaline junky to appreciate the Galaxy S5 Active's durability. This AT&T-exclusive Android phone can withstand multiple drops from 4 feet and taking a swim in 3 feet of water for 30 minutes. The handset can also shrug off dust, sand and other sorts of grime. Just rinse it off. The S5 Active doesn't skimp on features or performance, either. You get the same vibrant 5.1-inch display, fast Snapdragon 801 processor and long battery life as the regular S5--for the same price.
