For: Big Bright Screen, Nice HD-IPS Display, Wonderful Camera, Spacious Keyboard for Typing
Against: Bit Clunky to use, Still runs on Gingerbread, Stylus Integration, Stylus can’t be showed
The LG Optimus Vu is a halfway between a phone and a tablet, as like Samsung’s Galaxy Note phablet got some unexpected popularity in the markets. The device is priced at $866 (unlocked). It should go without saying: this 5-inch not a smartphone, not yet a tablet.

It’s a bigger version with large screens, some of whom struggled to see playing on smaller screen in handhelds or grip the handheld for longer period while playing; the 3DS XL is attractive to lot of audience.

For: Light weight, Solid build, comfortable to hold one-handed, excellent screen for reading and touch functions, easy to access public library, Internet, and Google books content, Multimedia features, pinch to zoom touchscreen.

For: Good Design, Clear Screen, Solid Camera, and Great Performance while surfing.
Against: Shorter battery life.
Finally the Samsung Galaxy S II is on our hands, it’s fast, thin, light, and the screen is enormous and it never failed to impress us. We can call it as a “One of the best Android smartphone yet.” Samsung clearly wanted to concentrate somewhere else and the only thing that would make a company divert its attention from its most successful smartphone ever, would be its successor. It runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, its equipped with an 8 MP camera, and can record videos in 1080p Full HD, another 2 MP camera in the front for video calls and self-portraits.

For: Call quality, Bright display, Solid build, Verizon LTE 4G
Against: Specs of the device - processor and RAM could be better, Battery life, Bulky, Camera is average
The LG brings the new LG Revolution to the battle field; it’s released on Verizon’s LTE network. This is only the third LTE phone, there is even less phones on LTE and 4G battle field. Some more LTE devices are HTC Thunderbolt and the Samsung Droid Charge, they all close together in dimensions and features, it is natural to compare all of them.
