Phone reception

Simple question. Which current or soon to be released Verizon phone has the best radio reception? My S4 really struggles in my apartment. I know another phone won't fix all the issues but it may have a bit better signal.

Motorola phones(devices) are usually known for their great reception, but obviously experiences will vary :)
 
... I agree.

In my area the best coverage is (strangely) US Cellular. There are some places where Verizon reception is terrible or non existent and US Cellular is fine. The reason is that US Cellular has the least towers in the area and rents the most tower space on competitor's towers.

I only use Motorola devices (currently Droid Maxx). The call voice sound quality and consistency is unbeatable.

HTC also has good radios. When I got my DNA I compared it to the S3 and the RAZR and the DNA was way better that the S3 and actually slightly better than the Motorola. I just got the M8 and it is about the same as the DNA.
 
my home is in a bermuda triangle for cell signal for all three major carriers. With that said Moto has always had the best reception in my area. Moto has been making cell phones since the 70's and were the first company to make one. They stick around that long for no reason. I've always had better luck with their radio tech.
