As the holiday season gets closer, it's right about that time for a smartphone upgrade. Years ago this was rather easy as there were only a few players doing things right every year. 2015 is a different animal though, with most OEMs doing an amazing job at raising the bar in design quality and overall user experience. We have flagship devices at mid-range prices, and even new categories like the "Premium mid-range" for those that want elegance on a budget. If you're still on the ropes trying to decide which smartphone is right for you, this guide will hopefully help you choose. At a time when deals are everywhere, cheap is not necessarily the best choice when it comes to value.
