Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a hard to beat device. It is still on the top position but now the competitors are really close.

That means that in the following months it is possible the number one spot will be given to another device. For now it remains the best Android smartphone with 70.6 points followed by Samsung Galaxy S5 with 70.5 points and LG G Pro 2 with 70.4 points. So these three phones are really close. Let’s say they are all winners.

In the fourth spot you can find Sony Xperia Z1s and then Samsung Galaxy S4 which remains a strong device. Another Samsung device comes next (Samsung Galaxy Round) and then we have Google Nexus 5, Huawei Ascend P6 and Sony Xperia Z1 Compact which is the first 4.3 inches device on the top 10 after a long long time. The software rich LG G2 is on the 10th position.
