Nokia is the best... My Nokia is even without camera, and I am quite happy with it.

...I decided that while true, it would distort the figures.
I do indeed use a Windows phone: but it is an HP iPAQ 6915 from 2006, running Windows Mobile 5.
It has a touch screen, physical buttons on a QWERTY keyboard, and a three or four week battery life.
And best of all, it doesn't play Flappy Bird.

Long battery life where have you gone My phone is so smart on daily basis, it will turn off if battery is empty 
|

Greater processing power, greater memory, more accessories, higher resolution displays == more power.
Combine that with the "must be smaller, thinner, lighter" fashion, and you get shorter and shorter battery life, despite improvements in battery technology and power reducing electronic designs.
IF you buy a phone that can play flappy birds, and take three hours of video, and has GPS permanently turned on, and (if you're lucky) might be able to make a call as well, then you are going to need to charge very, very often...
BTW: My ancient HP has GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, blah, blah - but it has to be explicitly turned on, and I don't! So the battery lasts a good time!
And it still won't play flappy birds!

But hold on why am thinking this,am not even a mobile developer at all

an iPhone from the firm and a privat non-smartphone.
I have to say, I have changed a bit my oppinion about smartphones... but to be honest, not so much to buy one myself (and less already having one)
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Just recently I had replace my old Samsung S3. Its last encounter with the ground left him in a way that only a second screen replacement would fix.
The decision was made, I also wanted to change carrier so I went to for it.
Second decision to make: Phone, Phablet or Phone + Tablet?
I wanted to buy a tablet but the idea of carrying one more gadget didn't please me.
I was already carrying my Ultrabook everywhere (which I actually use as a full featured dev machine) + the phone... adding a tablet was useless. I needed something I could use to read the news and eMagazines properly but a tablet was overkill.
So at the end and after a long thinking period... I went for a Samsung Note 3.
The good
- Although it's big it sill fit in all my pockets.
- I read a lot, mostly technical stuff, mostly from books or on my Kindle but now I can read on my phone directly not only the books but the news and eMagazines. No zooming and other gymnastics required 
- The stylus works great. After a few practice sessions I actually manage to take my meeting notes directly there.
- It's light. It's big but it's not an heavy device.
- The battery lasts an amazingly amount of time (kind of doubles the S3)
- All the other performance greatness of any edge device.
The bad
It's just not fit for sports... barable for running (in a pocket), ok for biking but impossible (at least for me) for skiing.
I didn't want to give a Phone review here but I still remember thinking:
"why anyone ever buy a phone this big?"
Well... these were my reasons and I don't regret it
Cheers!

I upgraded from a Lumia 920 to the Lumia 1520 (both are Windows Phones) a couple of weeks ago. Like you, I had wondered what the point of such a big phone was, but having used it, I'd hate to go back to a smaller phone.

Would also hate to go back from my Sammy Note 2. Previously I had a Moto Milestone 2 (I think it's called a Droid in the US), but the Note is simply miles ahead in usability - even if it fits only some of my pockets.

... that showed me the way. They don't have any of the electronics junk and nor do I. Ironically that makes them easier to reach, since they are not busy running around like blind and deaf fools.
