Time Magazine focus on the fact that the iPhone 5 is "one of the most artfully polished gadgets anyone’s ever built" and also praised its impressive camera, larger touch screen and thinner lighter case.
4G.co.uk also feel that the addition of 4G connectivity to the iPhone 5 helped Apple to land Time Magazine’s Gadget of the Year award for 2012. The magazine also commented that ““there are lots of nifty smartphones out there, including the iPhone’s impressive arch-rival, Samsung’s Galaxy S3”.
The top 10 best gadgets of 2012 also included the “Samsung Galaxy Note 2” at No 8 and would you believe that 4G.co.uk has today posted its “Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE Review” when we concluded “This is a good upgrade on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE.
