Bottom line
The Huawei Verge gets points for simplicity, but there are better basic phones in MetroPCS' stable.
While the Alcatel Authority can serve as a first foray into Android, there are better basic smartphone deals to be found on Cricket.
With its slow processor and older software, only desperate Android shoppers should consider ZTE's Anthem 4G.
Its laundry list of features require time and effort to truly master, but the Galaxy S4 is the top choice for anyone looking for a big-screen, do-everything smartphone.
While the ZTE Groove can make calls, pass it over in favor of better Cricket handsets.
