The rankings of course are based on factual examinations and tests conducted with German thoroughness (see this page -- one of seven - about the top-ranked Samsung Gaxay SIII). Detailed specifications and test results are available for every one of these mobile phones at FOCUS online pages.
FOCUS published the mobile phone rankings as of June 23, 2012, and it is easy to see why Apple has been suing Samsung and HTC in the USA to keep the better phones of those competitors off American retail shelves and out of consumers' hands so that buyers are forced to settle for lower-ranked Apple products, thinking they have no better alternatives -- which are in fact available elsewhere throughout the world:
