we're already into the second half of 2015 and we've seen some great smartphones to the market so far this year I'm hi out of Houston with pocket now and these are some of the best smartphones of early 2015 the first phone on our list is the LG g4 LG put together a pretty amazing phone here with an industry-leading camera and a gorgeous qhd display it's one of the only flagship devices to still include a removable battery and microSD expansion making it an easy choice for power users the software experience wasn't our favorite but it still offers a compelling feature list with multitasking and customization in mine and the optional leather backing sets it apart from the competition next on our list is the iphone 6 plus it's Apple's first venture into the phablet space with a 5.5 inch display on an aluminum casing we chose the 6 plus over the smaller iPhone 6 mostly because of its better battery life giving users up to two days at a time but the 6 plus is also the only one of the two that has 0 is in the camera this is the phone to buy if you want a powerful that's simple experience and a huge ecosystem of apps and accessories is enough alone to make it worth looking into 2015 hasn't just been about top-tier devices though and in fact one of the biggest pushes this year has been in improving the budget selection alcatel onetouch surprised us with its excellent idol 3 a two hundred fifty dollar smartphone with a beautiful screen and outstanding front firing speakers the camera is far from great but the battery life sound quality and performance turn the idol three into one of my favorite phones of the year regardless of price stepping more into the mid-range the asustas M phone to boasts a killer spec sheet that on paper beats out even some of the highest and handsets it's configurable for up to 4 gigabytes of RAM and it's one of the fastest android phones we've tested the speaker leaves a lot to be desired and the display is pretty dim in most conditions but the camera is better than almost anything else you'll find at its price point and the heavily theme abul interface would keep you from getting bored of your phone anytime soon finally our top smartphone pick for early 2015 is the galaxy s6 from Samsung this phone combines a gorgeous industrial design with one of the best smartphone cameras to date and an updated version of Samsung's TouchWiz interface that's surprisingly good the fingerprint sensors are integrated into the home button is very accurate and double tapping that button to launch the camera feels impossibly fast we do wish the battery life were a little better but save for that and a few performance gripes we have no hesitation in calling the galaxy s6 the smartphone to be for the first half of 2015 that's just our list but if you see things differently than let us know in the comments down below and subscribe to pocket now on youtube if you haven't already this has been hired to houston pocket now until next time thanks for watching
