The Samsung Galaxy S III is the successor to the popular Galaxy S II Android smartphone and is upgraded in almost every way from its predecessor. It features a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display, 8-megapixel rear camera, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Description

The Lumia 710 is one of Nokia's first two Windows Phone devices. The 710 is the cheaper of the two, though it shares the same processor and RAM as the nicer Lumia 800. This smartphone also features a 3.7-inch capacitive LCD touchscreen and multiple removable backs that offer customization options.

The DoublePlay from LG features a 3.5-inch primary touchscreen display and a 2-inch secondary display nestled between its split keyboard accessible through a slide mechanism. Running Android 2.3, the DoublePlay also features a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash that can also take 720p HD video.
