Ever since nano-SIM cards made their market debut alongside the Apple iPhone 5 (the first device to make use of such a module) in late 2012, more and more manufacturers have put their faith into this SIM standard. Being noticeably more compact than the way more common micro-SIM modules, nano-SIM cards are mostly used in devices that have absolutely no spare space in tow, allowing manufacturers to pack their hardware insides like sardines.
If you've been using the Apple iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus, then you surely have a nano-SIM card around. Yet, what happens if you decide to desert Apple's camp and embrace Google's Android? As the larger number of Android champs work in concert with micro-SIMs, you'd probably have to visit your carrier and opt for a SIM card change, but this might not be the case at all, provided that you opt for a nano-SIM device. Moreover, imagine that you're totally fed up
We made a brief round-up of the more notable nano-SIM devices from 2014 that money can get you right now.
Best nano-SIM phones
1. Google Nexus 6
The Motorola-made Google Nexus 6 is grandiose in almost each aspect - it's larger than most of its direct rivals and flaunts a respectable specs list. A nano-SIM card slot is also present
2. BlackBerry Passport
It can be safely regarded as one of the more odd devices that arrived in 2014 - the square-ish display of the BlackBerry Passport is one of its highlights, but we shouldn't forget that it's sporting a nano-SIM slo
3. Apple iPhone 6
Arguably the most
popular device on the list that comes with a nano-SIM slot, the newest
iPhone will be Apple's standard-bearer... until September 2015, most
probably.
4. Apple iPhone 6 Plus
The larger new
iPhone, the iPhone 6 Plus is a phone that has all the potential to
appeal to fans of large devices - you'd surely know that this nano-SIM
behemoth is on you when you go out for, say, a walk.
5. HTC One (M8)
Although it is
gradually getting a little long in the tooth already, HTC's flagship
phone for 2014 belongs to the more-polished and better-designed Android
flagships that we saw in 2014.
6. HTC Desire EYE
The HTC Desire EYE is
one of the more "extreme" selfie-centric smartphones that arrived in
2014. Its prowess in this department surely got noticed, as it aced our
latest front-facing camera comparison.
7. Nokia Lumia Icon
If you're an avid fan
of Windows Phone and all smartphones that run on it, then you've
probably been awed by the Nokia Lumia Icon (also known as the Lumia 930
in certain regions), which is still Microsoft's flagship.
8. Samsung Galaxy Alpha
The Galaxy Alpha is
the first Samsung phone to come with a nano-SIM card on board. It's not
the only one now, though - the Galaxy A5 has also adopted this SIM
standard.
9. Oppo N3
The motorized camera
of the Oppo N3 might be its biggest highlight, but we should also
mention that the phone has two SIM slots - nano- and micro-SIM ones.
10. Motorola DROID Turbo
The DROID Turbo is
one of our most favorite smartphones of 2014 - packed with top-end
hardware, the device is way more compact than some of its
similarly-spec'd rivals. Guess what, it also comes with a nano-SIM slot!
11. Sony Xperia Z3
Should you be looking
for a smartphone with awesome battery life, Sony's latest flagship
might be your best bet. It outlasts many a device, including the iPhone
6/6 Plus - if you want to dump one of the latter for the Xperia Z3, you
can easily do so thanks to the nano-SIM slot aboard.
12. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
If you, however, dig
compact phones with a nano-SIM on board, then the Xperia Z3 Compact
champ should stand high on your list - it's not only pocket-friendly,
it's also among the longest-lasting smartphones at the moment.
