While the past few months of 2013 have been rather quiet in terms of big name smartphone releases in the United States, April is about to change all of that as two big name devices are poised to touch down in the United States. Those devices are the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, devices that will challenge the iPhone for supremacy in the smartphone world.

And as luck would have it, both device’s will be heading to Sprint, the last remaining U.S. carrier that offers pure unlimited data to new customers.

Sprint remains relegated to the third biggest 4G LTE service provider, behind the likes of AT&T and Verizon. That doesn’t mean that the network isn’t attractive though. Besides the pure unlimited data, Sprint also offers an expanding 4G LTE network to go along with a wide selection of smartphones, a selection that soon will see the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One.

This wide selection, while fantastic, can often be troublesome for those looking for a new smartphone or those looking to buy a smartphone for the first time. Choice is good, but it can be confusing. That said, like most carriers, Sprint has some devices that are far and away better than the rest of the pack and deserve a spot the lists of smartphone shoppers.

At Sprint, there are more than a few of these devices but we want to help narrow it down a bit. Here, we take a look at what we consider to be the five best Sprint smartphones for the month of April, 2013.
