Smartphone Rankings. High end Android smartphones within striking distance of iPhone 4.

I've long wondered if any Android device would prove the equal of iPhone 4. Or, longer term, if any Android smartphone would be the equal or better of the latest iPhone, whether that be an iPhone 5, an "iPhone 4G" or beyond.

To date, none has equalled iPhone 4. Several are getting close. The G2X, in particular, scores very well.

I now think we will have an Android device that scores higher than the iPhone 4; before the next iPhone is available. But, it will take a handset maker that doesn't foolishly cut corners on either design or power, leaving us with a great looking but non responsive device, or the more common, a powerful device encased in cheap looking black plastic.
