2012 is undoubtedly the year of Android phones. The Google-owned operating system is now used by the vast majority of leading smartphone manufacturers and as a result, Android is now the dominant force in terms of market share, surpassing the once all-conquering Apple iPhone.

However, if you want a truly great phone, you should probably choose a phone from the following list of the top 10 Android phones released in 2012:
