The world of technology took a different turn a few years ago with the introduction of smartphones. These gadgets have not only made it possible to achieve multiple functions on the same device, but have also improved connectivity and socialization. Giant mobile developers have taken up the challenge of developing innovative smartphones as they compete for the limited customer resources.
Here are the top rated trends in smartphone technology for 2014:

5. LG G2
The LG G2 is an attractively built smartphone that is easily recognizable from its attractive slick glossy black finish succeeded by two complementary silver sparkles.

Its square corners make it comfortable in the hands. Unlike most other smartphones, its power and volume buttons are shifted to the back beneath the camera lenses rather than on the sides. The G2 has a high resolution screen hitting 423 pixels per inch, which produces razor sharp graphics. It can deliver videos at 1080p, that can only be described as crystal clear. Using a Snapdragon 800 brain, it is capable of running several memory-demanding applications simultaneously while maintaining a optimum functionality .[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBeFfWUdseI]
