I am looking into possibly getting a new phone soon. I currently have a Galaxy S3, and I am quite fond of it. I am not here for suggests for a new phone, but rather for suggests as to who is the best phone guy(s) on the web. Links to websites would be greatly appreciated, but if it's someone more famous then there is not need for a link.

Phone arena has the best, most in depth reviews...

 

PS: do not get any non-nexus LG phone, they will f**k you over with their horrible UI... Sony seems to be the only large cell phone company who doesn't put a horrible heavy UI on top of android..

GSMArena has pretty good write ups on most new phones.

MKBHD does great reviews but only for a few devices.

 

Honestly, I'd just search YouTube for each phone you're interested in and watch a few different reviews from a few different people
Every reviewer, no matter how honest, is biased in one way or another. The only way to really get a good feel is to watch a few and get a few different views.

They'll usually cover different topics as well.
