Carriers and manufacturers are offering big discounts on top-tier smartphones this summer in preparation for new devices launching this fall.
Plus, there are a bunch of relatively new devices that have launched in recent months from just about every big name in the smartphone business.
Here's what you should be looking at.
Note: We update this list approximately once a month. Our rankings are based on a variety of factors including design, software and hardware features, content selection, and price. We only consider phones that are on sale in the US at the time of publication. You can see last month's smartphone rankings here.
#15 BlackBerry Q10
The Q10 is BlackBerry's first device running the company's new BlackBerry 10 operating system with a physical keyboard.
It's a good phone, but you should only consider buying it if having a keyboard is the only feature you really care about. New BlackBerry 10 phones don't have a good app selection, and the Q10's touchscreen is much smaller than other top-tier phones.

Price: $200 on Verizon, $200 on AT&T (pre-order), $100 down plus $20 per month for 24 months on T-Mobile. Available soon on Sprint.
#14 iPhone 4S
Even though the iPhone 4S is approaching its second birthday, it's still a pretty good phone if you're on a budget. Plus you get access to the best ecosystem of apps, games, movies, and music from Apple.
Price: Starts at $99 with a two-year contract on most carriers, $69 down on T-Mobile. (Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T)
#13 Samsung Galaxy S III
Samsung still sells its flagship phone from last year, the Galaxy S III. The phone is nearly identical to the current flagship Galaxy S4, but has a slightly smaller screen, thicker body, and fewer software features.
