Holiday Gift Guide 2014
The best all-around smartphones.
These are the goldilocks phones. They offer the best balance of features, performance, and affordability. With prepaid carriers, the price range for this class of phone falls between about $50 and $200. Keep in mind, that's paying full price for the device. The Everyday Good Phone is a solid performer that has flagship-class features in a more affordable package. These devices work hard and play hard, and will keep you informed and in touch all day long. They don't skimp on quality, but they do dial back on premium features just a bit. These phones are solid picks for Everyman.
