5 Best Verizon Phones [December, 2014]

If you’re in the hunt for a brand new Verizon phone, you’re going to be faced with a very difficult decision because the carrier’s current lineup is as solid as it has ever been. In an effort to help those in need this month, we take a look at the devices we think are the five best Verizon phones money can buy in the month of December.

In the past 11 months, we’ve seen smartphone manufacturers, and U.S. carriers, unleash a number of big time smartphones. Early in the year, it was the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8. More recently, its been devices like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, LG G3, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and Moto X that have lured in consumers looking for a brand new device on Big Red’s massive LTE network. Choice is great but only if you know what to do with it and there are plenty of Verizon customers who are lost.

That kind of choice presents problems for anyone but particularly for those that aren’t caught up with the latest devices. Many of Verizon’s flagships share similar hardware and many offer similar software features under different names. Seeking out the best smartphones can be a bit taxing and that’s why we want to help.

We are constantly bombarded with questions about the best Verizon phones money can buy. There are a number of different devices that we could recommend, the carrier’s shelves are full of solid choices, but we want to narrow things down a bit and take a look at what we consider to be the top five best Verizon smartphones available.

These devices represent the devices that we’d recommend to friends and family. And while our list may differ from yours, these are the devices that Gotta Be Mobile editors have selected for recognition this month. We feel like the devices listed here deliver the best, all-around package for this month and this month alone.

With that in mind, here are the five best Verizon phones for December, 2014.
