Apple
iPhone 6: While designing iPhone 6, Apple has carried forward the
design of iPad Air, which is characterized by curves on the sides, edges
as well as corners.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha: The smartphone has a metal frame on the sides, which makes it feel much more premium than Galaxy S5. However, the back is still made of plastic and the look is largely the same as that of Galaxy S5.
HTC One (M8): This has brushed metal finish on the back panel and features speakers in the front. It has rounded corners and chamfered edges, and does not have any hardware buttons below the screen. On the back is a noticeable secondary camera, located just above the primary camera.
Sony Xperia Z3: The new Sony smartphone has a similar design as that of its predecessors Xperia Z2, Z1 and Z, but is much smaller in size, thus making it easily pocketable. The metal frame on the sides is much less pronounced as well, even though the glass back looks just the same.
Nokia Lumia 930: Microsoft’s top-end smartphone also has a metal rim on the sides, and feels just as good in the hand as its rivals. The back is made of plastic, and buyers get four colour options to choose from (white, black, orange and green).
