| Bottom line | The Huawei Verge gets points for simplicity, but there are better basic phones in MetroPCS' stable. | 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. | Although the price and features are right, MetroPCS sells a better
Android phone. Skip the Huawei Premia 4G in favor of LG's Motion 4G. |
