| Bottom line | With
Android 4.0, solid call quality, and waterproof capabilities, the Kyocera Hydro is a great prepaid device. | Android 4.0 and an affordable price help make Boost Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Rush a decent no-contract option, but lower-end specs are disappointing nevertheless. | Boost's LG Venice has respectable midrange specs including a snappy processor and a vivid screen, but if you want 4G data speeds, look elsewhere. | The Warp Sequent's impressive performance and decent midrange specs are a step up for ZTE, but its sluggish 3G speeds and price don't merit a purchase. | Though you won't get blazing data or processing speeds on the Kyocera Event, as an affordable smartphone it's an excellent choice. |
