Best full HD smartphones
- — 07 March, 2013 15:25
2013 is quickly shaping up to become the year of the full HD smartphone. Whereas most of last years flagship devices paraded screens with a 720p resolution, the top line models in 2013 are all likely to feature a full HD, 1080p display.
The resolution of these screens is 1920x1080, which in most cases results in a pixel density of well over 400ppi. The end result should mean screens that make it impossible to distinguish individual pixels on the display without using a magnifying glass.
We round-up the best smartphones with full HD screens, including the flagship Sony Xperia Z and the hotly-anticipated HTC One. The list also includes the Oppo Find 5, the HTC Butterfly and the ASUS Padfone Infinity.

Boasting a 5in, full HD 1080p display, excellent performance, good battery life and water and dust-resistance, the glass-clad Xperia Z is easily the best smartphone Sony has ever produced. It's only let down by a poor quality loudspeaker and a screen that has lacklusture viewing angles.
