Price: $345

While the Samsung Galaxy S Advance doesn’t
do much to stake a claim as the best mid-range handset you can buy, it’s still
a suitably capable effort, which will suit newcomers to the smartphone market.
With that said, though, there are many better options that you can find at this
price, so you might want to shop around and see what its rivals have to offer,
before choosing this as your main handset.

Sony
Xperia Go
When we’ve tested semi-rugged phones
before, they’ve often put function firmly over form. But Sony’s Xperia Go
blends style and resilience to create a tough device that’s also great to look
at. Its waterproof, dust-resistant design keeps it protected against the
elements and it’s a fast and pleasingly usable device. And while the old
Android 2.3 05 is a disappointment, this is still a good phone for busy outdoor
use. OS Android 2.3 Gingerbread

A minor update of the Xperia S released
earlier in the year, the Xperia T remains an elite Android device. With its
excellent build quality, gorgeous screen, great camera and a powerful processor
it should be a market leader - but for that price. Sony is still reestablishing
itself as a smartphone company and can’t command premium pricing - It falls
short of its Samsung and HTC rivals, watch for a price drop.
