8 best touchscreen phones for 2012

2012 is over and we are exicitedabout what will happen in 2013 but the technology dosent end here......here is the list of top 8 smart phone of 2012 1. Samsung Galaxy S2 The Galaxy brand has restored our faith in Samsung's ability to make phones, and with Android OS and some impressive touchscreen technology, the S2 continues that trend. Housed within a supremely slender form, the 4.27-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen is an ideal surrounding for viewing your 8-megapixel snaps. Running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and packing a 1.2Ghz dual-core Exynos processor ensures there is plenty of zip for your web browsing and with eye- popping colours it's perfect for watching a plethora of video formats on the go. 2. Apple iPhone 4S It wasn't the dramatically re-designed iPhone 5 we had hoped for, but the iPhone 4S still features one of the slickest smartphone displays money can buy. An 8-megapixel camera and 1080p HD video recording aside, a new A5 dual- core processor means even the most graphically demanding iPhone games run more fluidly and lag-free on the gorgeous 3.5-inch Retina display. Like the iPhone 4 the 800:1 contrast ratio and 960x640 resolution makes the 4S a suitable partner for all your multimedia viewing needs. 3. Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Despite the Xperia Play hogging the media limelight, the Arc has captured our imaginations from the latest range of Sony Ericsson handsets much in part to the gorgeous 4.2-inch touchscreen display. With a curved-body design making it one of the most comfortable to grip in your hand, the new Reality Display which uses LED backlighting alongwith the Mobile Bravia Engine, should serve your video playback, browsing and deliver a slick response to touch. 4. Samsung Galaxy Nexus Arriving as the world's first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone,the newest Nexus family member follows in the impressive touchscreen footsteps of its close Galaxy compatriots. Powered by the same 1.2GHz dual-core processor nestled inside the Samsung Galaxy S2, the Galaxy Nexus hosts a vibrant 4.6-inch Super AMOLED HD screen that'll do full justice to your 720p videos, internet browsing and the raft of camera features which includes the excellent single motion panorama mode. 5. Motorola Razrs The iconic Razr brand returns (minus the clamshell design), delivering us one of the most premium Android smartphones on the market. Running on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, the Razr packs a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording capabilities and a stunningly vibrant 4.3-inchSuper AMOLED display which puts it in good company with the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the iPhone 4S in terms of crisp visuals and great clarity. 6. Samsung Galaxy Ss Setting the benchmark for immensely bright displays, the Galaxy S houses a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen that does not disappoint. Its 480x800 WVGA resolution is someway behind the iPhone 4 (640x960), but you can still expect vivid colours, true blacks and outstanding contrast ratio. It's no longer at the top of the pile when it comes to awesome picture quality, having been usurped by its Galaxy S2 brother, but this is still one of the best touchscreen phones to show off in the pub if you want to bedazzle your mates with awe-inspiring picture quality. 7. BlackBerry Bold 9900s Staying true to the design whichmade the 9000 so popular, the Bold 9900 adds the new BlackBerry OS 7 giving the handset a serious multimedia makeover. The big selling point for the Bold 9900 is it packs a 2.8-inch screen withVGA resolution which delivers crystal clear clarity and matches the iPhone 4for sharpness, making it ideal for web browsing and media viewing (albeit not great for movie marathons). OS 7 also sees the addition of a 5- megapixel camera with LED flash,the ability to record 720 HD and a distinctly new look interface, all which is housed in a premium chassis that makes this one of the best BlackBerry phones on the market. 8. HTC Sensation XEs As the first HTC handset to get a Beats Audio makeover, the Sensation XE hosts a sleek unibody design married with stunning screen technology. Sporting the same 4.3-inch HD screen as the original Sensation, the Android Gingerbread vivid and brightness that is well matched with HTC's impressive Sense 3.0 and an 8-megapixel camera with dual flash making it one of the best end smartphone snappers on the market.
