Top Ice scream Sandwich Android Smartphones

1. Samsung Galaxy S III (Verizon), July 13, 2012

       Having stormed American shores and securing a spot in the lineups of five major U.S. carriers, the device is poised to be this summer's runaway smartphone hit. The phone boasts an even bigger screen (4.8 inches) than the one on the Evo 4G LTE, and it's got an AMOLED display as well (1,280x720 pixels). Also, not only does the Galaxy S III have Android ICS, but the smartphone's software is driven by the latest dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor.


2. HTC Evo 4G LTE (Sprint), May 9, 2012

       Many said that no phone on earth could outdo the legendary Evo 4G, let alone a sequel. The new HTC Evo 4G LTE proves that the doubters were wrong, at least mostly. With killer good looks, a massive 4.7-inch screen, fast dual-core power, and Android ICS paired to HTC's revamped Sense 4 UI, this Evo has almost everything.


3. HTC One X (AT&T), May 1, 2012

       The HTC One X for Ma Bell is essentially the inspiration for Sprint's new Evo 4G LTE and a dual-core clone of the international HTC One X (quad-core Tegra 3). But don't let its lower core-count fool you, the U.S. One X is plenty fast, also comes with a lovely 4.7-inch screen, plus links to AT&T's smoking 4G LTE network.


4.  HTC One S (T-Mobile), April 18, 2012

       Superslim and carved from a single block of anodized aluminum, the HTC One S for T-Mobile is a true smartphone vision. Also easy on the eyes is its gorgeous 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen (960x540 pixels) that paints movies and pictures in stunningly vibrant colors and dark blacks. Of course Android ICS is onboard, along with HTC's Sense 4 interface plus a connection to T-Mobile's quick 4G HSPA+ data network. Also, like all the other phones in HTC's One line, the One S has a fast and feature-packed 8-megapixel camera.


5. Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, January 26, 2012

       Finally, the unstoppable Motorola Droid Razr Maxx now flaunts Android 4.0 ICS to match its amazingly long battery life and Verizon 4G LTE data connection. Verizon and Motorola pushed the recent software update to eager Razr Maxx owners and I can vouch personally that it makes this phone even better.


6. Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon), December 14, 2011

       It's hard to talk Ice Cream Sandwich without mentioning the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. This phone is by no means new but it was the flagship Android ICS device and offers a mostly pure taste of Google's second-best OS. Also, although the Sprint version supports the Google Wallet mobile payment system, the Verizon model is 4G LTE capable now. Sprint's GNex sadly is still waiting for the carrier's promise of LTE in the future.
