Who designs the best looking smartphones?

Look, it is hard to judge design as it is sometimes so subjective, but there seem to be some general agreement on what’s good and what’s not…

126. Johnnokia posted on 19 Feb 2013, 22:32 6 3
Now, Nokia passes 50%.
I'm really surprized !!. How 48 % of the readers don't think that Nokia does not have the best design?!.

Just have a look Samsung, >> , and read this.
If Nokia had adopted Android, no one would have cared or listened to something called Galaxy or Note.
You really was so so lucky.

Go to WMPowerUser and see they make all WP owners to vote for the Lumia, that's why they won the "Smartphone of 2012" and probably going to win this..

Since the company is undergoing a huge change under Google and hasn't really released anything new recently, we've not included it. Feel free to mention it in the comments, though. We'd also appreciate you mentioning a device you like or what you like about its designs the most.
89. gmracer1 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 16:09 4 0
Yeah but the poll is "Who designs the best looking smartphones?," and not "Which company makes the best-looking recent phones?"
Just sayin ;-P
Razr Maxx for the win! Kevlar/Titanium color/metal body/masculine curves. Omg I think I've developed a heart murmur...
11. tusshharish posted on 19 Feb 2013, 11:52 34 17

44. Johnnokia posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:45 26 7
I have Galaxy S3 , but Nokia has the best ever designs
48. Johnnokia posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:53 9 4
HTC One is just released.
The design of Lumia came from N9 which is 3 years old now.
Wait till the next week and let's see what Nokia will release.
Titanium FX

Wow, they sure are quick.
176. nogetch posted on 23 Feb 2013, 13:01 1 0
HTC was working on the design of the ONE for more than two years !!
Its the first Full Metal phone !!!
And the design was actually a coincidence !!
98. shadez10 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 17:05 9 10
Really?.. One looks ugly compared to lumia...
120. Omar-BHR95 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 21:02 2 5

Lets just hope we won't be disappointed from design perspective.
41. htc_prep posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:34 12 7
not being sarcastic or biased; outside of internals and screen have you ever seen a Samsung device that has made you drool over it strictly from a design point of view?
62. ReaperChief posted on 19 Feb 2013, 13:27 5 6
Honestly yeah.. the Black S3 and the Gray Note 2.. Actually bought a Note 2.. love it.. Btw.. the most practical design is also the best design(plastic=resistance and easyness to replace, removable battery cover)
67. sayedejaz posted on 19 Feb 2013, 13:50 1 0
I do love material .. i have no problem with that..
but that back panel know .. ?
that is very scrachable !!
68. sayedejaz posted on 19 Feb 2013, 13:50 2 1
Anyway thank god better than Iphone 5 panel !
74. maccess posted on 19 Feb 2013, 14:32 0 1
and thank GOD you can just buy and change the back cover with the new one.. i bought one just to keep it so when i need to re sell my s3 , i just change the back with the new one and bang!! it looks new & shiny!!
121. Omar-BHR95 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 21:06 3 2

BRACE YOURSELF! Another over-priced plastic is coming :p
200. thiyagi posted on 12 Mar 2013, 10:45 0 0
If the body design of Samsung IV was not premium enough and in case it is " again the same plastic s**t " then i am going to rant on it all over the internet..
83. gmracer1 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 15:47 2 3
They knew Moto would have been the easiest choice, so they left them off the list so others could contend xD
132. BattleBrat posted on 20 Feb 2013, 02:49 1 2
When I first got my RAZR I was floored, so sleek, so sexy.
5. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 19 Feb 2013, 11:49 11 1
i think the 10 year licence agreement has made HTC and Apple co-operate
13. RiseAgainst94 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 11:54 16 3
Just HTC. The One X was the best looking phone of last year and the One may be of this year (though a step down). Apple has good feeling parts, but their design is seriously lacking. They have gone nowhere in the past 3-4 years and the back of the iPhone 5 has no design unity. Nokia's phone's are unfortunately bulky and Samsung's are unfortunately plastic.
6. Taters posted on 19 Feb 2013, 11:49 13 16
Sony for sure. I bought the Xperia S strictly based on looks and the Xperia Z is the nicest looking phone. The LG Optimus G looks like a well tailored suit as well.
HTC and Nokia just look too rice ticket Honda civic or scion to me.
Apple is just overrated and Samsung is nice but Sony is just better.
23. Mittal posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:03 10 5
I agree Sony designs are great.. I count the Arc as one of the best designs ever!!
But Xperia S and other NXT designs i found particularly ugly! Like slabs of brick
52. pwnarena posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:58 3 3
yeah arc is the best though a little girly. too sexy it's become quite girly.
htc one is like a ripoff of blackberry and iphone but has superior innards and features.
177. nogetch posted on 23 Feb 2013, 13:06 0 0
Actually the design similarity was a coincidence !!!
HTC was working on the design for more than 2 years !!
Its the first Mull Metal phone in the planet !
9. Berzerk000 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 11:51 13 9
Why isn't Motorola on the list? They make some pretty great designs themselves. I still think HTC is superior in design, but you have to give Motorola some credit with their Kevlar/metal designs that bring water resistance.
My list in order for best design:
HTC
Motorola
Apple
Sony
Nokia
LG
Samsung
Blackberry
That was based on just looks, not durability.
37. rusticguy posted on 19 Feb 2013, 12:26 21 4
I would put Sony & Nokia above Apple ... because Apple never really deisgned the phone after first model .. they just stretched the size a bit here and there. Sony on other had has worked harder than Apple for sure :)
60. KingKurogiii posted on 19 Feb 2013, 13:24 2 2
yeah, i agree with you on that list mostly. i might would switch Nokia and Sony but that's it. c:
71. Berzerk000 posted on 19 Feb 2013, 14:11 0 0
I like Sony's curved and ergonomic designs rather than Nokia's industrial and blocky approach, that's just my own preference though.
