hey what is up guys I'm Kay PhD here and HD stands for high definition which is short for lots of pixels the more pixels the better so as you can imagine the high definition or high resolution phones out there tend to provide an experience just a step above all the other phones the highest resolution phones that we're seeing right now are at a resolution of 1920 by 1080 so as you can imagine we're going to take a look at the best of them today we're going to count down the top 5 best 1080p smartphones right now five is the Sony spare uz /zl this is one of the best looking phones of the year it's pretty much the hands-down number-one for design so if you're counting down best design phones I would have to give that number one it is a water-resistant phone and it's actually a really fast phone to so it's a really handsome and really speedy device which is why people like it so much when I reviewed it I kind of deemed it a bit of a mixed bag though if you want to watch the full reviews to any of these they will be linked down below the like button but the main flaw with the Sony Xperia Z was the display it didn't have the best contrast in the world and it had subpar viewing angles so we couldn't give that the best score possible or I couldn't give that the best score possible but it's definitely a very good looking phone and it easily takes number five on this list because of the raw speed and the handsomeness number four is the HTC butterfly this is also known in the United States as the Droid DNA it's a red and black version and it's the first 1080p phone with LTE now we would also expect to have a 1080p phone with LTE have a huge battery but it didn't it had a 2020 milliamp hour battery so that was probably his biggest weakness in battery life but overall it was again a very well-built HTC phone it had a polycarbonate back very nice basically unibody construction it felt great in the hand and of course had an awesome 1080p display so that was the pretty much the primer for getting 1080p phones going in the United States it was basically first in the US and that's why it was so popular immediately on Verizon and the butterfly is really popular now worldwide so the HTC butterfly is a great looking phone as well it came with sense for plus not sense 5 so it's not the newest version of sense but we'll get to that later but yeah it's a pretty solid phone it takes a spot over the Sony Xperia Z because that is a much better 1080p panel number three is the Oppo find 5 now this is actually technically the first 1920 by 1080 display I first did a video about this before the idea was even out there and 1080p displays on phones were sort of unheard of a bit unrealistic but this was first and it brought itself first to China and the Apple fine 5 is a dream on the spec sheet they Hardware lineup that they put into this phone is absurd it's insane it's made out of completely steel it's a unibody construction again has a 13 megapixel camera the Snapdragon s4 pro had the this version of Android when it came out just an all-around awesome beast of a device it's still catching up on the hardware and sorry the software front because well it doesn't have sense or TouchWiz or anything doesn't have years of experience with software to grow on so they're just now getting back into it with project Firefly getting back on the road for increasing in terms of value with software so I don't have the years of experience that you see your Samsung might have with building on software but the Apple flying 5 is a damn good phone on the hardware front and that's why it takes all around number 3 so number 2 is the Samsung Galaxy s4 this is one of the most anticipated phones of the year 2013 you could argue that the galaxy s3 was the phone of the year for 2012 so the galaxy s4 follows up with a really really powerful smartphone first of all it is an 8 core CPU in the international version the I 9500 is a boss on paper has a 2500 milliamp hour battery has a 13 megapixel camera you could argue that this is the perfect phone - some very very small complaints that have been called odd about it number one is it's still an AMOLED display so it's not the brightest display outdoors you can take the galaxy s3 and another IPS phone outside and you'll see that the galaxy s3 whether it's AMOLED display is not nearly as bright as something like the Oppo fine 5 which has a much brighter IPS display so the one big complaint about it was the dimness of the AMOLED displays and the other big complaint about it was the build quality and it's still made of that same Samsung plastic now the galaxy s3 had a sort of hyper glazed finish on the back so it was definitely slippery and you could tell and feel that it was plastic it was thin it was flexible it was cheap the galaxy s4 has a slightly different finish but it's still plastic so it's hard to tell that if it's a major improvement or not outside of that those are the only two main complaints about the galaxy s4 outside of yet it's a really impressive phone on the hardware front that's why it takes number two that means number one is the HTC One every single review of this phone has been glowingly positive because this thing is off the charts good on the hardware front and on the software front if you see one is so good that the biggest complaint about it is tends to be the fact that it's sealed in so you can't replace the battery and the fact that the camera is only four megapixels I've done a separate video on why the cameras only four megapixels so if you want to check that out there's a reason there but that's the biggest complaint about the HTC One it is an awesome all-around phone on the hardware side because it has a large battery and all aluminum build it has a really really rock-solid processor just this knife rack in six hundred kills benchmarks if you haven't already seen so is an awesome phone coming to the United States and on software side of things HTC Sense 5 is brand new it runs on the latest version of Android 4 it's really good and it's it's probably a big reason why the HTC One is going to be the flagship for HTC all year so the overall package of completing awesome hardware that's just compelling and good and feels good in the hand and just rock solid plus the software side of things where people actually want to pick up the phone and play with it because the software is awesome make the HTC One pretty much the best 1080p phone out there right now plus it's a 4.7 inch display all the other phones on this list are 5 inch displays they're 5-inch 1080p phones this one is a 4.7 inch 1920 by 1080 p panel which gives it the highest pixel density of any of the ones here so if you want to talk about HD that is a seriously high definition phone right there so there you go guys those are the top 5 1080p phones out right now you may have noticed something about this list every single phone on this list that I just mentioned is an Android phone there were no iPhones on this list there were no windows phones on this list there were no blackberries on this list and that's because there are no 1080p blackberries there are no 1080p iPhones and there are no 1080p windows phones and that's just the nature of pushing the pace when you have manufacturers developing on an open platform I hope we'll see 1080p Windows Phone soon I think we'll probably see a 1080p iPhone somewhere in the next two years don't know if we'll see a 1080p blackberry but definitely keep an eye out the horizon I'll say is open we don't exactly know what all these manufacturers have up their sleeves or if we're going to see even higher resolution phones down the line also a common question or common comment I get I just want to say are people saying do we really need 1080p phones do we actually need a phone with such a high pixel city no you don't need a phone with such high pixel density but it's damn good-looking and you better believe that it looks better than a 720p phone that's for sure so that's it that's the end of the video if you agree with this list definitely let me know below or if you don't let me know why what was your number one maybe it was different definitely leave a comment down below that like button but I'll be checking them out you can see me replying down below thanks for watching guys and I will talk to you guys in the next video you
