If the flagship smartphones of 2014 haven't caught your imagination – Apple's iPhone 6, Samsung's Galaxy S5 or HTC's One M8 – then allow us to introduce the Lumigon T2 HD.
The Copenhagen-based design and development firm has big ambitions with this high-end handset, which goes on worldwide sale from May – starting from €730 (£605).

On the outside, the T2 HD smartphone has a "minimalist Scandinavian design, water resistance and solid stainless steel", while innovative features can be found under the cover.
They include audio technology from Bang & Olufsen – a subsidiary of B&O that develops and makes Class D audio amplifiers – for "superior sound quality".
