New phone choice - Help?

[Crosley123]

Need help folks... Looking for 2 new Android phones...was waiting for the Moto X but I was underwhelmed...

Samsung Galaxy S4 is the leader in the clubhouse but anything I should wait for? I'm using an older LG Optimus and the wife is still using a DINC. Anything on the near term horizon?

Needs/Wants:
1. SD slot
2. Verizon
3. At least 32GB. No arguments here.
4. Removable battery would be nice. Being able to swap when you travel a lot is a nice feature.
5. Above average camera. Take a lot of on the go pictures.

Help?

HTC Butterfly S (16GB but takes a 64GB SD card), Sony Xperia Z (Also 16GB with up to 64GB SD card). I'd have either of these over 32GB an no card slot every time.

32GB + SD Card is only going to give you Samsung devices, and the older Razr Maxx HD. Not many options on Verizon with SD cards, so it severely limits your choices.

If anything it looks like your options are going to decrease as time goes on since it seems like manufacturers are putting less and less internal memory in their phones. Not only that but the amount of high end phones with SD card slots is decreasing.

S4 seems like it was made for ya.
