5 Best Verizon Smartphones [June, 2014]

Picking out a brand new Verizon smartphone during the month of June isn’t going to be easy. That’s where we come in. In an effort to make things easier on those who may not keep up with the latest devices, we take a look at the devices we think are the five best Verizon smartphones for the month of June.

The year got off to an extremely slow start but over time, we’ve started to see carriers like Verizon deliver new, flagship smartphones to their customers. In March, Verizon released the HTC One M8. The release was on par with its rivals, significant because of last year’s debacle with the HTC One M7.

Then, in April, Verizon released the Samsung Galaxy S5, its highly anticipated successor to the Samsung Galaxy S4. Again, the release was notable given the troubles Verizon had releasing the Galaxy S4 last year.

These two powerhouses joined a lineup that was already chock full of big names including the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, LG G2, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, Nokia Lumia Icon, and a whole lot more.

Verizon’s smartphone lineup is massive. Thus, it can be intimidating to those who are in the hunt for a brand new Verizon smartphone. It’s our job to make the search for a smartphone as easy as humanly possible and today, we want to help Verizon customers shorten their shopping lists.

In an effort to help those who might be struggling with a smartphone decision this month, we breakdown the devices we think represent the five best Verizon smartphones for the month of June, 2014.

Our list may differ from yours but 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 at the moment.

iPhone 5s

> 1 / 5

With the WWDC 2014 keynote in the rear view, it's pretty clear that the iPhone 6 release will land some time in the fall. What this means is that the iPhone 5s will remain Apple's top option on Verizon for the month of June and for the foreseeable future. While the price of the iPhone 5s hasn't seen a significant drop since it was released back in September, it's still a device that lives up to its premium price point. Its industrial design, Retina Display, 8MP iSight camera, 64-bit processor, and iOS 7 software should help to put the iPhone 5s near the top of shoppers lists during the month of June and beyond. Apple may not be offering a discount but we're starting to see retailers slash the price of the iPhone 5s including price cuts for the Verizon model. Be on the look out.
