Yes, the GS4 is clearly the best phone on Verizon right now, but if you want to wait, there will be a lot of new phones coming out later this year.

The GS4 and HTC One are both rumored to get an incremental update from the Snapdragon 600 to the 800 chip.
Also, a Verizon-branded version of the HTC One will be coming in late Summer or early fall.
There's also the Moto X and the rumored Nexus 5 that will be coming out in the Fall, so theres a lot to look forward to.

edit: Also the Note III is rumored to come out sometime this year as well, if you're into phablets

Take a look at the Note 2. It's not as advanced as s4, but you can hardly find someone who isn't happy with the note 2 and there are tons of companies about s4. I'm also looking forward to upgrade but note 2 won't let me go for s4. It also has better life than s4. Afterwords, I'm not trying to say that s4 is a bad smartphone though.

My brother is eager to buy my Rezound off me, and I'm mulling over what to get to replace it. Ultimately I think I'm waiting it out until the One is out on Verizon and has a decent secondhand market; I've had nothing but good experiences with HTCs, so I see no reason to jump to Samsungs.

Droid Life supposedly has a release notice from a Verizon internal memo, August 1 release date for the HTC One.

If that isn't an option, I'll be honest, the Samsung GS4 is an amazing phone, I don't think you would regret it later.

Is the HTC One suppose to be better than the S4? And the one coming to Verizon, do ya'll know if it will be the 600 or the 800 chip? Is there a huge difference in the two chips? I played with the S4 for a few minutes in Best Buy today. It's so smooth and during quadrant gets consistent 60 fps in almost all the tests but the last one. I know quadrant doesn't mean much, just an example. I couldn't imagine it being much faster. lol. I like the Note, but its pretty big. Is there a lot of bad with the S4 vs One?

Its all speculation at this point, but yea the 800 chip does offer slightly better performance. Some people have speculated that the VZ version of the HTC Once will have the 800 chip but we can't know for sure.

I upgraded to S4, it is better than the Rezound in every way except for the screen, I personally hate that blue tint on Super AMOLED screen, but I definitely think S4 is superior phone.

I personally can't stand the screen or the cheap plastic of the Galaxy S phones. The One is coming to VZW sooner than later if you want to stay with them. Given the delay VZW put on getting the One, I'll probably jump ship once the One+ with the Snapdragon 800 or the One Max phablet hits the other carriers this fall.
