While 2014 got off to an extremely slow start, things have picked up considerably in the last few weeks thanks to a pair of big name smartphones that arrived within just a few days of each other. The Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 are now on shelves, tempting those who are in the market for a new device but those are just a few of the smartphone options that shoppers will need to contend with during the month of May.

As we head deeper into the year, rumors are starting to swirl. iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, LG G3, and Nexus 6 rumors have already started to pick up and those looking for a new smartphone on AT&T or another carrier in the United States are going to have to decide if those are worth waiting for.

To make matters worse, there are a number of top flight smartphone options on shelves right now, beckoning those who are thinking about buying a smartphone this month. AT&T, in particular, is loaded with solid smartphone options including Apple’s iPhone 5s, Motorola’s Moto X, Samsung’s Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, the LG G2, the Nexus 5, and more. That just scratches the surface.

Selecting a new smartphone is not an easy task and the addition of new smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 doesn’t make things any easier.

iPhone 5s

> 1 / 5

The iPhone 5s remains one of the best smartphones in AT&T's lineup and will likely remain one of the best AT&T smartphone options until the iPhone 6 arrives on shelves. iPhone 6 rumors point to an arrival in the fall which means that Apple's current iPhone probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Apple's flagship delivers a fantastic all-around package. From its industrial design, to its Retina Display, to the 8MP iSight camera, 64-bit processor, and iOS 7 software, the iPhone 5s is a solid device from top to bottom and should be near the top of shoppers lists during the month of May and beyond. Those who aren't keen on its expensive price tag would be wise to be on the look out for deals. We're starting to see iPhone 5s deals emerge on a more frequent basis as we push deeper into the year.
