20 best mobile phones ranking set for massive update

Here at TechRadar we're all about helping you pick the best technology for your pocket and our constantly updated 20 best mobile phones in the world today ranking is our easy way to impart that handset-centric knowledge to you.

Mobile World Congress showered the world with a plethora of new handsets, and we've been painstakingly picking through them, fiddling with all the features, snapping them from every angle and bringing you our in-depth reviews on everything from the vacuum-packed HTC Incredible S to the budget Samsung Galaxy Ace.

We've already reviewed 15 handsets to have emerged from the Barcelona event, with plenty more to come in the next few weeks - and now we have to fit them into our definitive guide to the best mobile phones.

Changing of the guard?

The quality of handsets has been stepped up this year - the HTC Desire has held onto top spot in our list for nearly 12 months thanks to a superb hardware and software combination as well as timely price drops - the latter being something the iPhone 4 can't boast.

And at just �15, the Desire still represents huge value for money - but can it still be our number one phone in the face of such strong competition, and will users keep waiting for the HTC Desire Android 2.3 update?

Dual-core phones are the order of the hot tech at the moment, and while we're still waiting to bring you our full Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation reviews, you'd have to think the powerful LG Optimus 2X and Motorola Atrix have a decent shot at the top spot.

And it's not the end of the road for single core devices - the HTC Desire S and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc are both on the market and selling well... and could the expensive Xperia Play quickly become a cult favourite?

Cheap, cheerful and ready to rock

The budget end of the spectrum has had some extraordinary tech welded into it - the Samsung Galaxy Ace, the INQ Cloud Touch and the HTC Wildfire S all are offering more bang for your buck than ever before.

Or could it be a late charge from an old favourite that wins us over? With the Android 2.3 update landing, the Samsung Galaxy S only costs �18 a month and a modern Google experience.

Keep your eyes peeled for our imminent 20 best mobile phones in the world refresh - and get ready to find the new phone that will be powering your summer.
