The interest in Android phones has grown at a record pace, challenging Apple Inc.'s dominance in the mobile industry.

Homegrown Android phones such as Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One Mini and LG G3 are three of the most talked about smartphones of today.

Three different handsets from three different global leaders in smartphone technology – who wins this three way face off? We take a look at a Samsung Galaxy S5 vs HTC One Mini vs LG G3 comparison.

HTC One Mini is the obligatory scale-down version of the brand's premier smartphone.

Released in August of 2013, this smartphone features 4.3-inch display with 1280 x 720 resolution and 342 pixels per inch density, 16GB with 1GB RAM, 4MP rear facing camera, 1.6MP front-facing camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with dual-core 1.4GHz.

The Verge gave HTC One Mini a good review, but loathes the battery.

"HTC managed to chop the One's processing credentials in half without introducing any tangible performance shortcomings."

Samsung's flagship phone hit the shelves April of 2014, and received mixed reviews.

Samsung Galaxy S5 sports 5.1-inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution and 442 pixels per inch density, 16GB/32GB with 2GB RAM, 16MP rear facing camera, 2MP front-facing camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset with quad-core 2.5GHz

Tech blog site Mashable called it "the upgrade you can skip" because of the lack of innovation and something that is genuinely new.

Perhaps of the three, LG G3 receives the best amount of great reviews.

Forbes warns Apple's iPhone 6 of an early competition in LG G3.

LG G3 is smart and simple rolled into one handset that carries the following specs: 5.1-inch display with 1440 x 2560 resolution and 534 pixels per inch density, 16GB/32GB with 3GB RAM, 13MP rear facing camera, 2.1MP front-facing camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset with quad-core 2.5GH

If you have the money and you want sheer power and sharp imaging features, or you are a long-time iPhone user looking for a worthy Android phone replacement, go with LG G3.

If you are searching for care and warranty in case of screen cracks, HTC One Mini embraces the HTC Advantage Program.

If you are brand conscious and into outdoor activities, the dust and water resistant Galaxy S5 is a fair choice.
