Condensations of the boson fields in the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model of the electroweak interactions are considered. Apart from the well-known phase with the Higgs boson condensation the new phases appear. The electroweak magnetic phase with a very deep energy density minimum of [ital scrE][approx]44.382 GeV[sup 4] for charge density equal approximately to 0.5539 GeV[sup 3] emerges. In this phase the [ital W][sub [mu]][sup [plus minus]] bosons are massless and the photon [ital A][sub [mu]] acquire the nonzero mass. Droplets of this phase could be experimentally observed by their very small ratio [ital Q]/[ital M][sub [ital Q]][le]1/80.13 GeV[sup [minus]1] (where [ital Q] is the electric charge of the droplet with the mass [ital M][sub [ital Q]]). Another phase with [ital Z][sub [mu]] condensation and its stability are also examined. The experimental knowledge of a droplet of this phase with the upper possible mass [ital M][sub [ital I]][sup 3] (where [ital I][sup 3] is the weak isotopic charge of the droplet) could give us the value of the Higgs mass.
