Best Latest Cell Phones

Updated on July 20, 2014

What do you think is the best cell phone these days. There are just so many of them. Most of them though are high end phones. People who appreciate the latest technology enjoy them the most.


Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom

Are you a photography fanatic? Or are you someone who is bad with shooting pictures but really want to shoot pictures anyway? If you are someone who can't stop taking pictures and you need a really good camera for it, then Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is probably the right camera for you. Aside from its superb camera features, you also have a cell phone for telecommunication and data communication (i.e., call, text, and surfing the internet). How's that for your latest cell phone?

The camera of Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom has 25 smart mode feature to help cater to the needs of every user, whether beginner or professional. It has 10x optical zoom which lets you shoot pictures even from far away, a feature that is available only in digital cameras and not in camera phones. You can capture pictures even in poor lighting conditions, again, it is a feature that is only available in good digital cameras. The image remains clear even if the image you are shooting is moving.

Although its 4.3 inch screen is smaller than other Samsung Galaxy S4 models, the 16 megapixels camera feature is the highest camera resolution in the Samsung Galaxy S4 line. And because it is a cross between a smartphone and a camera, you can experience the best of both worlds.

There are extra features you can get with its camera, you can shoot animated photos and take photos with sounds. So, wouldn't you want your next cell phone to be a camera? Or wouldn't you like your next camera to be a cell phone?

Apple iPhone 5s

The beauty of owning an Apple iPhone is that this company does not produce a lot of models in any given year. So, if you're a big Apple iPhone fan, you do not have a lot of models to choose from. For the most part, it is an advantage because, as an end user, you won't have second thoughts buying the latest model and have the fear that in just a few weeks, the latest model you have in your hands is not the latest anymore and worse, the newer model has a better feature than the one you have bought so expensively just a few weeks ago.

I guess I can safely say that if you do own an Apple iPhone, it will remain the latest model for quite a long period of time. Being an Apple iPhone fan will actually save you a lot of heartaches, that is, if you can afford the price.
