2014 is ending and like every year is a time to take stock. We begin our summary of this year with a compilation of the best smartphones to 5.4 inches. The 5.5-inch onwards you have them in a different classification dedicated to phablets. For once, try to get the best devices of each platform (iOS, Android, Windows) leaving out of consideration or price range. We seek the best of the best.

 Before starting, say that this is subjective compilations that try to justify in the best way possible and that bears no specific order. This does not mean that do not fit other possibilities and let us out very good terminals (the list could be very long) the best smartphones of 2014. We will be happy to read your choices in the comments if you consider that one was worthy to be here.

IPhone 6

 The latest smartphone from Apple remains one of the most popular months after its release. A terminal that is poised to break records … again. The iPhone 6 gives finally jump size that many users have been clamoring to sign Cupertino, and can say that its 4.7-inch screen is one of the great successes. Performance is assured with the second generation of 64-bit processor Apple, the A8, an improvement that adds to a long list that includes the camera, TouchID behavior, etc. In terms of design, there are not many that can be compared to the metal body of 6.9 mm thickness iPhone 6. A common and one that could not miss in this list .

 Sony Xperia Z3

 We turn to Android and we do that is for many the best terminal of less than 5.5 inch platform. Sony’s strategy of launching two flagships in one year has helped them earn some criticism, but also to perfect a complete smartphone, with an enviable design with classic rear glass and a power that only the best dare challenge (Snapdragon 801, 3GB of RAM). Moreover, its 20.7 megapixel camera is the best that can be found on the market and if we add the great multimedia experience offered is well deserved his presence. If 5.2 inches are still many for you, you can resort to the Compact version, which remains virtually all other features.

 HTC One M8

 This device is here for two reasons. The first is that it is one of the most beautiful designs platforms Google. It is undisputed that the rounded line with metallic finish gives it a very attractive elegant look. Good screen, large memory section, same processor that all high end of the first half of 2014 (Snapdragon 801), good battery and a camera with ultrapixel technology but has not finished work very well, was risky and innovative.

 The second reason is strain the HTC One M8 in this classification is because there is a Windows version, submitted a posteriori of Android. This version is one of the outstanding examples of the Microsoft platform this year, except for the Lumia 930 (should be chosen if a more extensive list option) has not made big news, remain concerning some models of Nokia 2013.

 Samsung Galaxy Alpha

 Quite disappointed with Samsung Galaxy S5 in February but has managed to regroup throughout the year with Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 4. Although the latter does not fall within the parameters of this collection, the first of which itself deserves a place . It is a terminal that has completely changed the direction of the South Korean company, including the metal edge that will have its impact in the long term, something that makes it noteworthy. But also, have achieved a device that besides being very pretty and have pretty successful dimensions, works great. And that, without mounting hardware as pointer . It has been one of the pleasant surprises of 2014 and why we think it should be.

 Xiaomi Mi4

 The last part of this compilation has been the most difficult to choose. There are as we have said, many good candidates as the Motorola Moto X (2014) with its advanced voice recognition system or Honor 6, Huawei brand in Europe that has been released this year, or self-Galaxy S5. Finally we have opted for the Xiaomi Mi4, because the Chinese company is doing very well for some time and has been placed as the fourth largest producer of smartphones in the world and this deserves a mention. For though we said that we would consider the price, its value is the very best that can be found and because its specifications (Snapdragon 801, 3GB of RAM, 5 inches Full HD screen, 13 megapixel camera) so placed in the leading group of the best smartphones of 2014.

Compilation of the best smartphones of 2014

With Christmas just around the corner, plenty of you are currently on the lookout for a lovely Android tablet thatll bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. This year has seen plenty of brilliant new models released, including the Tesco Hudl 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, meaning that purchasing a good tablet is now cheaper and easier than ever. The power on offer in the top-end models has gone through the roof, while budget devices have improved massively. Unfortunately, this means that picking one has now become a very difficult task.


If you know that the iPad Air 2 or a device running Windows isn’t for you, then this is the place to be. Check out all of our top picks from the list below.

If, however, youd like a little more guidance on what to look for when buying a new tablet, you should read our tablet buyers guide, which explains the strengths and weaknesses of each type of tablet and anything else you may need to consider, technical or otherwise.

One of the golden rules you need to remember when looking at Android tablets is that you should steer clear of cheap, no-name models. There are a countless number of them available from various vendors and theyre almost never worth purchasing, mainly because they dont tend to last very long.

As for the best Android tablet, there isnt really one at the moment. What we do have is a number of great Android tablets that perform some tasks better than others, whether thats gaming, work or general entertainment. Whats best for you may be very different from what the person next to you might need.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5

Best 10-inch Android tablet

Key features:
   

• 10.5-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 Super AMOLED screen
• Exynos 5 Octa 5420 CPU
• Over 14 hours video playback

This has one of the finest screens of any tablet of any type. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5s display is stunning, and a marvel for watching video. Its also among the slimmest and lightest tablets of its size and packs in a few extras like expandable storage and a fingerprint reader, though the latter isnt all that good.

Performance is also excellent, while battery life is fantastic, at over 14 hours. Elsewhere youve got all the usual extras such as front and rear cameras and stereo speakers, while a somewhat clunky but still useful case system seals the detail. Its simply the best 10-inch Android tablet around.

Price: £344 (£399 at time of review) / $374.99

Nexus 9

Best 8-inch or 9-inch Android tablet

Key features:

• 8.9-inch, 2,048 x 1,536 IPS LCD screen
• Powerful GPU
• Good battery life
• Android 5.0 Lollipop

The Nexus 9 looks starkly different to Google’s previous tablets. It is far broader and the 8.9-inch display, with an aspect ratio of 4:3, isn’t as good for viewing widescreen movies as previous Nexuses, but games and apps feel much nicer. Colours are excellent, viewing angles are good and the 281ppi screen is nice and clear. At 425g and 7.9mm thick, it’s also comfortable enough to hold for extended periods of time.

One of the standout features is that, unlike any of its rivals who will have to wait for the software, it ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop. The battery life, combined with the powerful GPU, allow for an excellent gaming experience. The 8- and 1.6-megapixel rear- and front-facing cameras arent the best youll ever come across, but its a terrific piece of kit nonetheless.

Price: £299.99 (£319 at time of review) / $349.99

Asus MeMO Pad 7 ME572C

Best 7-inch Android tablet

Key features:

• Excellent screen
• Good battery life
• Attractive design

The Asus-manufactured Nexus 7 (2013) made the 7-inch Android tablet market its own, with its combination of solid specs, excellent performance and tiny price tag. However, it’s not as young as it used to be, and Asus has taken aim at it with the MeMO Pad 7 ME572C. It’s a unique-looking slate, with curved sides and sharp corners, but lacks a soft-touch plastic rear. At 8.3mm thick and 269g, it’s also thinner and lighter than the Nexus, without holding back on battery life and performance.

If you’re after something that’ll keep the family entertained, you might be best off looking elsewhere. The speakers offer solid but unremarkable sound quality and are easy to block with your fingers. While the 1,920 x 1,200 pixel resolution screen delivers excellent viewing angles and good contrast and colours, our review sample suffered from backlight bleed. Its not perfect by any means, and while it’s not as cheap as the Nexus, it’s definitely a better all-round device.

Price: £179 / $326

Asus Memo Pad 7

Best sub-£100 Android tablet

Key features:

• 7-inch 1,280 x 800 IPS screen
• Intel Atom Z2560 CPU
• Android 4.4

When we reviewed the Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176CX, it was selling for almost £150. But with all the competition from tablets like the Hudl 2, it has now been price-dropped to £99.99 by many retailers, making it a bonafide bargain.

Screen resolution is decidedly sub-Retina grade and the design isn’t too flashy, but in most other respects this is a top-notch tablet. The Intel Atom Z2560 provides loads of power, you get a very generous (at the price) 16GB of storage, and while the screen doesn’t offer oodles of pixels, its quality level is otherwise pretty solid. If you can afford to push the boat out a little further, we think the Hudl 2 is better. But if £100 is your strict cut-off point, the Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176CX should be at the top of your list.

Price: £99.99 (£119.99 at time of review) / $124.99

Tesco Hudl 2

Best sub-£200 tablet
 
Key features:

• 8.3-inch 1,920 x 1,200 IPS screen
• Intel Atom Z3735D CPU
• Android 4.4

Tesco is hardly well-known as a top tablet manufacturer, but its hit the ball out of the park with the Hudl 2. At £129 this is probably the best-value Android tablet ever made, potentially even trumping the Nexus 7. It gets you a great 8.3-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 display, giving you a bit more screen space than the long-standing Nexus model. This size of screen is great for watching movies on, without being so large that it’s a pain to carry around with you.

The quad-core Intel Atom CPU gets you plenty of power for high-end 3D games too, meaning there are few roadblocks despite the low price. There is, predictably, a bit of Tesco app bloat to deal with and general performance isn’t quite at Nexus 7 level. But for pure hardware value, youll struggle to beat the Hudl 2.

Price: £129

Asus Transformer Pad TF701T

Best Android tablet for work

Key features:

• Great 10.1-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 pixel IGZO IPS screen
• Keyboard dock adds extra five hours of battery life
• 32/64GB versions available - expandable

The Transformer series convinced us that an Android tablet can work as a replacement for an ultra-portable laptop. Asus’ Transformer Pad TF701T has been around for a while now, but it’s still the best choice if Android is what you’re after and youre willing to spend enough cash for a real top-quality experience.

The 10.1-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 pixel resolution IGZO IPS screen produces super-sharp visuals and great viewing angles. It has an Nvidia Tegra 4 quad-core processor and apart from some minor jaggedy moments, its a slick operator. One of the most impressive features of the Transformer is the battery life: the TF701T gives you a combined 17 hours, or around 12 hours with just the tablet alone. Now available for under £350 with the keyboard base, it’s a great pick.

Price: £328.99 (£430 at time of review)

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (2014)

Best Android tablet for entertainment

Key features:

• Brilliant speakers
• Excellent 8.9-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 resolution screen
• Attractive, lightweight design

If you’re in the market for an Android tablet built for entertainment, you won’t find anything better than Amazons Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (2014) right now. It boasts the same excellent design qualities as its predecessor, the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, and at 374g, the Wi-Fi only model is significantly lighter than even the iPad Air 2 (437g).

The 8.9-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 pixel resolution display, with a sharpness level of 339ppi, is brilliant, delivering excellent colour accuracy and a higher level of brightness than the previous HDX model. It’s also great for reading, but can struggle with glare outdoors. The speakers are the best you’ll find on any tablet. With support for Dolby Atmos, they deliver a better, more immersive sense of directional sound than anything else on the market right now. The 2.5GHz Snapdragon 805 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 430 GPU make it excellent for both everyday use and gaming. Fire OS is still divisive, however.

Price: £329 / $379

Amazon Fire HD 6

Best Android tablet for kids
 
Key features:

• 6-inch, 1,280 x 800 pixel IPS screen
• Mediatek CPU
• 8/16GB storage
• Fire OS

The Amazon Fire HD 6 is one of the first sub-7-inch tablets we’ve seen. It uses a 6-inch screen, giving it proportions that kids are more likely to get on with. Just as important, it’s also cheap. At £80 for the 8GB version, you’re not going to have to cancel your kids pocket money for a whole year if they accidentally drop it.

With tablets of this price, you generally have to deal with a great many hardware cuts, but there are remarkably few here. The Fire HD 6 has a good-quality IPS screen, a surprisingly powerful processor and very good battery life. It’s not as slim as we’d like and it uses Amazon’s more restrictive Fire OS rather than normal Android, but it’s still a corker for children or budget buyers.

Price: £79.99 / $99

Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

Best tablet for drawing
 
Key features:

• 12.2-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 LCD screen
• Exynos 5 Octa 5420 CPU
• S Pen digitiser stylus

Artists out there who want to get creative with a tablet need to make sure they get something with an active digitiser stylus. This technology has been around for years, since before modern tablets existed, but only a few of todays best slates actually use the tech.

The Note series of Samsung tablets is where to head to first, and the biggest of the lot at present is the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. You don’t get the AMOLED screen of Samsung’s latest top-end tablets, but the large display makes a great virtual canvas when you team it up with the S Pen stylus and something like Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, which comes preinstalled.

With a 12.2-inch screen and 750g body, it’s not the smallest or lightest tablet around, but the extra scribble space is worth it for art enthusiasts. If you want something a bit smaller, check out the Note 10.1.

Price: £349 (£649 at time of review) / $599

Nvidia Shield Tablet

Best Android tablet for gaming

Key features:

• Brilliant gaming experience
• Impressive build quality
• Excellent display

For consumers who are seriously into gaming, look no further than the Nvidia Shield Tablet. It’s far and away the best tablet for gamers on the market right now, having been built to deliver the best experience possible. Under the hood, the custom-built Nvidia Tegra K1 processor clocked at 2.2GHz combined with a 192-core Kepler GPU and 2GB of RAM ensure smooth performance, even while simultaneously running high-end Android games and multiple apps.

In terms of design, it looks slightly like an enlarged HTC One M8, which is no bad thing. The front-facing speakers above and below the screen, along with a pair of speakers on the top and bottom edges, deliver sound that can easily fill a room. At 9.2mm thick, it isn’t the sleekest number we’ve ever seen, but the tapered edges make it comfortable to hold in one hand. The 8-inch, 1,920 x 1,200 display delivers rich colours but isn’t quite bright enough. Premium, Tegra-optimised games and the £49.99 Shield Controller cost extra, but they’re worth it if youre willing to splash the cash.

Price: £240 / $299
