Unfortunately, the number of amount available can be a bit bit overwhelming and here, we want to help narrow things down by telling you about the devices we think are the five best smartphones for the month of May.

Those who are in need of a new smartphone this month are likely going to struggle. First, you’ll need to contend with the rumors that are swirling about. iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, LG G3, and Nexus 6 rumors have already started to emerge, tempting those who are searching for their next device.

Rumors should continue to emerge during the month of May and they will be tugging on the hearts, and wallets of consumers in the United States and around the world.

Consumers looking for a device this month are also going to have to deal with an insanely competitive smartphone market. There are a number of big name devices on sale at this point 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, the Nokia Lumia Icon, and more.
