A major factor in best sellers, especially for Verizon Wireless and Amazon is the pricing. Buyers are looking for the best deals in the United States. Amazon only offers deals on Verizon and Sprint plans and discounts the intial price for the smartphone. For example Verizon Wireless is still showing the price for the GS 4 as $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate.
Online retailer Wirefly does not sort by best selling device, but does sort by carrier. Another best sellers is the Nexus 4 from the Google Play Store, because that is the only smartphone model that Google sells directly.
