| Bottom line | With its dual cameras, strong processor, and attention to camera detail, the Huawei Mercury tops Cricket's charts for a non-Muve Music smartphone, but insatiable Web surfers may still want to shop around. | Cricket's LG Optimus Regard is an excellent choice as an entry-level
Android phone, but look elsewhere if you care about photo quality or don't have adequate 4G coverage. | While the Alcatel Authority can serve as a first foray into
Android, there are better basic smartphone deals to be found on Cricket. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. |
