Best smartphone comparison charts now updated and improved by Kim Komando

Tell me if this sounds familiar. It's time to upgrade your old smartphone, but you have no idea which new model to pick. There are so many choices out there that trying to find the gadget that's right for you can be downright overwhelming. That's why I've created handy comparison charts updated with all of the latest models, so you can easily make your decision.

Should you buy the new iPhone 6 or Samsung Galaxy S5? Maybe there's a model out there you don't even know about yet. Did you know you could get the high-end Moto X for as little as $99?

There are plenty of things you need to factor in to your buying decision, like price, features and service compatibility. Luckily for you, my charts have all of that information and more. I've created charts for High-end, Mid-level and free smartphones.

I also have a chart comparing phablets - the bigger phones that are like a phone/tablet hybrid.
First, let's talk about price. After all, you want to make sure a new phone is in your budget before you fall in love with the features. To help you find a gadget that won't break the bank, you'll find the price of each phone in the last cell on the chart. That's the price you'll pay along with a 2-year contract from a major carrier.

You can also find out everything you need to know about a phone's features. Are you an app collector or a huge music buff? Then, you'll want a phone with lots of storage. My charts highlight each phone's storage capacity, so you know just how much space you'll get for your money.

What about photos? Not all camera phones are created equally. Each one of my charts includes the exact specifications for each smartphone's front and back camera. My charts highlight other important information, too, like battery life, screen size and carrier compatibility.

So, what are you waiting for? Study my comparison charts, so you know which smartphone is right for you when your next upgrade comes around.
