Samsung galaxy S3/Note 2 (all carriers), HTC one X + (AT&T), HTC droid DNA (only phone with a 1080p screen)(Verizon), Motorola Droid Razr HD/Max HD (Verizon), and LG Nexus 4 (unlocked from Google, works with T-Mobile/AT&T, however it doesn't offer LTE like the rest) all came out within 2012 and are excellent phones. Also, CES is next week and many companies will be showing off new phones so if you aren't in dire need of one this minute I'd wait to see what CES has to offer.
If you have any further questions I'd be glad to help
