APPLE IPHONE 4S
The appears from the fifth-generation Apple iPhone doesn't depart a lot from its predecessors. Besides small cosmetic changes. the iPhone 4S almost appears like an exact replica of the iPhone 4. It sports the signature metallic frame, glass front and back, and the 3.5-inch Retina display. In terms of design, build Quality and finish, the iPhone 4S still ranks very highly in our eyes. One of the few physical changes to the iPhone 4S is
the double antenna strips on the side of the phone. This enables the iPhone 4S to intelligently switch between two antennas for better call quality. The new design also resulted in a change in the position of the silencer switch, which is shifted down slightly.

MOTOROLA RAZR
Sticking to its rich heritage of Ultra-thin phones, the Razr is currently the thinnest smartphone in its class at 7.1mm. Despite its thinness, the Razr is easily the most rugged of the lot with its KEVLAR fiber back cover, and 4.3-inch corning Gorilla Glass screen with splash-guard coating. Looking like a lean and mean machine, we find its 127g frame relatively lightweight and comfortable to hold. The Razr is constructed in a manner such that all four corners are slightly tapered, making it easier to get a firmer grip. The four navigation touch buttons below the display are well-spaced and light up in the dark, although they aren't obvious under bright sunlight.

NOKIA LUMIA 800
Pretty much reusing the previously-launched N9's design, the Windows Phone 7.s-powered Lumia 800 features the same slim polycarbonate unibody chassis. The side profile is noticeably rounded to fit comfortably within our hands. This also makes it easier to hand le the edge-to-edge 3.7-inch AMOLED ClearBiack curved display. Two minor niggles we found with the design of the Lumia 800 are the sharp corners up top (which does affect handling), as well as the plastic cover over the microUSB port, which seems as though it could break easily. The Lumia 800 utilizes three capacitive touch-enabled soft buttons for primary navigation, which is a distinct trait of Windows Phone 7 devices.

SONY ERICSSON XPERIA ARC S
The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S looks no different from its predecessor, the Xperia arc. The unique and slim arched design gives the phone a very fashionable, stylish and classy look. However, the build quality seems to be compromised because of its attention to weight-loss, feeling a little fragile in the hands. A 4.2-inch Reality Display takes up the most of the real estate on the front, with three physical navigation buttons at the bottom. A minor niggle is the power button, which is a little tough to properly press, being flushed with the smartphone's chassis. Overall, the handling experience was mostly positive, despite the plasticky feel.

HTC SENSATION XL
Similar to its Sensation and Sensation XE counterparts, the Sensation XL exudes a solid build quality and feel thanks to its combination plastic and metal chassis. It currently has the largest display of the HTC portfolio at 4.7 inches, though the mammoth screen size may pose a challenge to those with smaller hands in accessing apps at the top or bottom of the screen. We also find ourselves using both hands to use the phone on several occasions, as the phone is too large for one-handed operation. Although the 162.5g Sensation XL is no featherweight on the weighing scale, it does feels comfortable in our hands, while also managing to sit pleasantly in our pockets due to its slim 9.9mm profile.
