Introduction We compared the top 6 phones of each manufacturer

available at Verizon Wireless®: Apple® - Iphone® 5s 16GB Motorola - Droid MAXX HTC - One® LG - G2 Samsung - Galaxy Note® 3

Introduction Continued We evaluated these phones based on the

specifications of the following criteria: Price Camera Memory Battery Processing Speed RAM

score Memory- The phones with more memory get the higher score Battery- The phone with the most usage time get the higher

score Processing Speed- The phone with the most processing speed

Introduction Continued Through all of the criteria we can recommend two different phones. If price is not much of a factor to the consumer we recommend the

Samsung Galaxy Note® 3: All around the Galaxy Note 3® was the best in all factors with the best

processor, RAM, camera and a close second to battery life. Its only downside was the large price tag.

If price is a factor to the consumer we recommend the LG G2: The LG G2 was close to having the specifications the Galaxy Note 3 had and

even had the same processor power inside of it. One of its biggest downsides was the lack of expandable storage. Overall the LG G2 is the best phone for the price.
