These days, it seems like there's always a smarter, faster Android phone on the horizon.
According to research firm Strategy Analytics, Android captured an impressive 70 percent share of the global smartphone market share in the last quarter of 2012. That's because various manufacturers including HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung, and others offer multiple Android handsets on each carrier.
And that's one of the best things about Android: Choice. At any given time, on Verizon Wireless alone, there are at least 20 different Android handsets to choose from. AT&T sells just as many, and Sprint, T-Mobile, and the regional carriers also offer plenty of choices these days. But how do you decide on the right one?
To come up with our list of top Android phones, we've chosen one or two winners for each of the four major carriers from our highest-rated phones. (And many of our picks are available on multiple major carriers.) And for the contract-phobic, we've thrown in the best unlocked handset.
Since we're continually testing phones, we update this list frequently to reflect the best of what we've seen. If you've settled on Android as your mobile platform, and you're in the market for a new phone right now, these models are your best bets. But the way things are going, we can assure you that there's another great 'Droid right around the corner.
