| Bottom line | If style is what you're after, the Huawei M735 could fit your aesthetic, but the throwback stylus and resistive touch screen aren't as user-friendly as a capacitive touch screen. | MetroPCS' LG Motion 4G is worth it for price-conscious customers who want a contract-free 4G LTE-enabled device,
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and a swift processor. | If you can live with the phone's basic features, the M750 is a decent starter touch-screen handset for MetroPCS. | While it certainly isn't our top pick, the Huawei M835 is one of MetroPCS' least expensive
Android phones. | Thanks to great call quality and its sturdy keyboard, the Samsung Freeform III is a solid messaging phone at a reasonable price, despite a couple of drawbacks. |
