Video: Sony Xperia tipo

A compact and presumably inexpensive smartphone, the Sony Xperia tipo runs Android 4.0 out of the box, which few other low-end Android devices can offer.

It might not be the flashiest smartphone around, but the LG Optimus L7 is inexpensive, looks good, is reasonably powerful and has Android 4.0 out-of-the box.

ARM has a near monopoly over the CPUs in mobile phones, although because ARM licences the core to other manufacturers then there is plenty of competition between different ARM CPU vendors. The Orange San Diego is different, it comes with an Intel core instead. It looks quite promising, and it's good for consumers to have more competition as ultimately that leads to better products.

Another waterproof Sony phone, the Sony Xperia S is pretty powerful under the hood too. It's hardly a big step to make these things waterproof, because the Japanese have been doing this for years..

Waterproof, compact, but not necessarily all that rugged when it comes to bumps, the Sony Xperia go should at least survive the odd trip to the pub..

Video: Sony Xperia GX and SX

The "Sony" brand has been back for nearly half a year, but it's a surprise to see that Sony haven't yet launched a smartphone in their home market. Well, that's about to change with the Sony Xperia GX and SX..

Samsung Galaxy S III

For a long time the Samsung Galaxy S range has been the sort-of-default choice if you want a high-end smartphone and don't want an iPhone. This has meant that the Galaxy S II launched last year has been a big, big seller.. and now Samsung have managed to top it with the Samsung Galaxy S III.

This is a quad-core beasties with a 4.8" 720 x 1280 pixel HD display, an 8 megapixel primary camera and more sensors than a Star Trek tricorder. It looks pretty good too, with come curved edges and a brushed metal effect.

The good news is that the Galaxy S III will be available at the end of this month. The bad news is that it will probably be eye-wateringly expensive. Oh well.
