Verdict :-
Year 2013 no doubt Smartphones gained alot in the display size and quality. each brand went one plus against the rivals, but we also seen some great changes in Mega Pixel like Nokia Lumia series leading the camera above all the smartphones that exist to this date so far, while the stability of iPhone 5 with iOS 7 cannot be compared with any other, Quad and Octa are ruling the Mobile Market across the world but still the better speaker quality and mind blowing features are missing which are expected by branded companies in 2014, such as 3D and gaining more in battery timing ( Experiments are being done ) just google up and you will know they are all preparing monsters for the year 2014.
