What phones are the best Android phones currently available

So far weve looked at the best Budget Androids and the best Androids with a Qwerty Keyboard, but lets just take a look at the out and out best Androids currently available. These are for those who like to be up-to date and have the money to burn on a handset to make people say wow, so I wouldnt advise reading on if youre on a shoestring. Unlike most "best android" lists were not going to look purely at the 4 most impressive handsets but the handsets that standout for whatever reason, they are the best of their own type, if you will.

LG Optimus 3D
The LG Optimus 3D is a funny one, for most its the only 3D handset currently worth owning (being a better option than the rival HTC EVO 3D) though as a smartphone its not the most impressive. Whilst it comes with Froyo pre-installed you can upgrade it to Gingerbread and whilst it "only" has a 1Ghz dual core processor what it brings to the table is 3D.
The phone is chunky, its heavy, its thick it feels a bit sluggish at times but it brings wonderful 3D effects, a screen that jumps out at you and the ability to not only take 3D pictures and take 3D video but the ability to watch 3D films as they were designed to be watched.
At the moment it seems 3D hasnt really t aken off in the mobile phone world though the LG Optimus seems like its a trend setter and although its not the best phone on the market and in fact it feels like a limited "smart phone" it does bring something very fresh and original to the market.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
When the Play was first rumoured it seemed likely to be the phone that revolutionised games on a mobile phone. At the time it was dogged with a price tag that simply didnt make sense and was frustratingly buggy for the price. Now a few months on from its release and after scathing comments about the price its now come down to a level that seems more realistic.
The phone is a gaming device/phone hybrid that combines what resembles a PSP with a high tech Android phone (running Gingerbread) and for gaming is the top phone by quite a margin thanks to what are effective proper games as opposed to the games that the Android system is known for.
Whilst we are still waiting for s ome really killer games on the phone and its not a match for things like the 3DS its by far the best gaming phone out there. If you want to play games and carry just a single device this is your best bet, if you however want a phone, Id actually say avoid it and look at the Galaxy S2 and Sensation.
