If you want to walk out the door right this secord and pick up a
brand new phone then you'll want to know which smartphones have just
made it onto market.
Below are our latest in-depth mobile phone reviews, with all these handsets only recently becoming available to buy.
Sony Xperia J
The
Sony Xperia J is the smaller and cheaper brother to James Bond's Xperia
T, but don't expect to find this handset mingling with scantily clad
women - the Xperia J is far more reserved, less flamboyant, happier to
stay out of the limelight and just get on with life without frenzied car
chases through the French Riviera.
It may not be a wizard on the inside, but overall it offers a respectable smartphone experience at an attractive price point.

Nokia Lumia 820
The
Nokia Lumia 820 carries plenty of unique features and costs less than
the Lumia 920, making it a tempting offer for anyone considering making
the move to Microsoft's OS.
Nokia is building a solid line-up of
smooth, competent Windows handsets that started with the original Lumia
line-up last year and continues through to the Windows Phone 8 era. We
feel the Lumia 820 is a building block for that line-up rather than its
superstar focus.

Nokia Lumia 920
The
big-boned Lumia 920 is the most feature-packed of the initial Windows
Phone 8 line up, as Nokia looks to regain its dominance in the WP market
and ride the new OS wave to success.
It isn't a groundbreaking, game-changing device, it's a refreshed Lumia 900 with a newer operating system and some additional power.
That's
not to say it's a bad phone, what Nokia has produced is a solid,
well-built device which does the job you'd expect of a smartphone,
without any of the lag we sometimes see from the convoluted Android
system.

Google Nexus 4
Some
handsets we look forward to with much anticipation – only to feel
deflated when we actually use them. Others, we wait for with little
expectation – and they absolutely blow our socks off.
A stealth surprise. We'll lay our proverbial cards on the table here from the outset. The Nexus 4 is one of those rare devices.
The
Nexus 4 cames SO close to racking up a 5 star review, it's unreal. This
phone has some of the best specs around but it's not just great value,
it's fantastic value. Almost too good to be true. Why did it miss out on
the top mark? Find out in our review.

HTC 8X
A
splash of colour, Microsoft's latest mobile platform and a sleek new
body are combined with more powerful hardware - is the 8X the phone to
bring Windows Phone 8 to the masses?
The
HTC 8X should have been the comeback Windows phone – it has it all on
paper: a brand new updated OS, great looks and top connectivity options
(minus 4G).
Plus, it came to market before the attention-seeking Nokia Lumia 920
and yet, despite us being really, really excited to get our mitts on
it, we couldn't help feel a little bit 'meh' about the whole experience
once we did.

HTC One X+
The HTC One X+ isn't exactly a new handset as such, as it shares many similarities with its brother the HTC One X, but there are a few key upgrades in play here.
The
One X+ is here to put the issues we experienced with the One X, such as
battery life and limited storage, to bed and possibly snatch top spot
away from the immensely popular Galaxy S3.
The HTC One X+ had the potential to be the first five star smartphone since the Samsung Galaxy S2, but unfortunately it quite literally run out of juice before the final hurdle.
