Bottom line
The Samsung Intercept is one of the most advanced and priciest phones for Virgin Mobile, but it's an excellent addition to the carrier's lineup.
The LG Optimus V is a great entry-level Android smartphone if you want to go the prepaid route.
Demanding Android fans won't like the HTC One V's slow performance but its premium design and low, no-contract price makes it a steal on Virgin Mobile.
The Samsung Intercept is a suitable Android alternative for Sprint customers on a budget.
