A stunning near-bezel-less 5in HD screen, a 13MP camera with optical image stabilisation for detailed low light shots and a battery that refuses to die all make the quad-core G2 a do-it-all smartphone that'll have your back no matter what you throw at it.

The Lumia 1020 is the best cameraphone ever made, thanks to its incredible 41MP sensor with clever superpixel tech. Throw in a zoom that won't make your photos look like they were taken with a Vaseline-covered lens, and you can finally ditch your compact for good.

Will Findlater, global online editor of Stuff, said the award showed how previously “struggling” LG had turned their fortunes around

“This year's awards proves how quickly things change in consumer technology,” he said.

“LG has previously struggled to make an impact on the smartphone market, but the LG G2 is as good as smartphones get in 2013, and shows the established names how it should be done."
