The 5 Best AT&T Smartphones [June, 2013]

Those in the hunt for a new smartphone have been treated to a busy past few months with the arrival of two big name smartphones in the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. In particular, those looking at devices on AT&T have been spoiled as the carrier currently holds a couple of major exclusives that are sure to be tempting to consumers.

After a relatively quiet first part of the year, the smartphone scene has exploded with a number of new entries to the playing field. These new smartphones, while fantastic, also are troublesome for those that may be in the market for a new smartphone contract or an upgrade. In particular, those looking at AT&T will likely find themselves having a hard time selecting a device.

AT&T remains a premier destination for those looking for a growing 4G LTE network, those wanting to keep an unlimited data plan or for those that are looking for big smartphone lineup to choose from. AT&T possesses all three. Unfortunately, while having a big smartphone lineup is a good thing for AT&T, it makes things difficult on consumers who are thinking of taking their money to Ma Bell.

In the past few months, AT&T, like Verizon and other U.S. carriers, has adopted several new big name smartphones that have joined its previous high-end devices on shelves. Again, this is exciting, but probably not for those that haven’t been following the smartphone market closely.

For those that haven’t choosing a new smartphone can be a spellbinding process. If not approached carefully, it can quickly turn into a disaster. It’s not fun having to endure a two-year contract with a smartphone that has worn thin.

AT&T, like the other carriers, has devices that are its best of the best, the cream of the crop. Here, we take a look at the smartphones that should be on any smartphone shoppers list, the ones that we feel are the five best AT&T smartphones for the month of June.
