Both.

No matter what you say, Note 3 is better than s4. I know because I've used both.

When was s4 released? When was note3 and nexus 5 released?

The lg G2 should be third, iphone 5s should be like 6th, htc one should second.

Note 3 is a phablet, shouldn't be there.

Both the copy-and-paster and the person who wrote this article clearly haven't seen a Galaxy S4.
Here is a Samsung Galaxy S4: http://bestmobs.com/samsung-i9505-galaxy-s4-specifications-and-features/

Btw, the Note 3 is a smartphone, that they call it phablet means the screen size is between 5.3 inches to 5.9 inches.

A picture of the Samsung Galaxy S4:

Xperia z1, here i come.

If nokia lumia 1020 was an android phone it would have topped the list

emekaeneh: Nokia and blackberry all the way nothing concern me concern the rest

wake up now...

bhaliz44: why hating on tecno androids oh!! I get it cos they've come to rescue use from htc,samsung,lg e.t.c outrageous price...keep hating all i know is htc,samsung e.t.c dem wont give u a dime for hating tecno..hmm if d matter too pain u goan die..who cares?? #teamtp5

Ogbeni, calm down. Looking before leaping here means you should read the list before commenting as there is already a tecno in the list. No one is hating Tecno here.

mr.drizzy:
Crap!!..phonearena says htc one is the best in Q1-Q3.and i agree with that!! Dis is jst a wierd list,btw hw in the world s4 become betta or ranked higher dan note 3.the writer is jst biased!!

Whytdot: No matter what you say, Note 3 is better than s4. I know because I've used both.

Its not all about specs, that would be partial and imbalance.

If the nexus 5, note 3 were produced in june it wouldn't be as good as it is.

From june to november, better gpu, cpu, camera and so on were released that made the new ones better.

This Nokia Lumia 520 camera na die!

all i knw is dat x2-00 stil rule

Dannylux: .

I think those are the smartphones that rocked 'Nigeria' in 2013, and not the world.

If you're actually talking about the world, the iphone 5s should actually be at the top and tecno whatever, out of that list.

Here in India, there are no tecno products, neither are they in the US or Europe.

I believe the apple iphone 5s should be No. 1.

Well, I stand to be corrected though.

s4 rocks
