| Bottom line | MetroPCS' LG Motion 4G is worth it for price-conscious customers who want a contract-free 4G LTE-enabled device,
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and a swift processor. | Despite its ho-hum call quality, the LG Spirit 4G is an affordable smartphone that performs reliably and runs
Android 4.0. | Specs-wise, the LG Esteem is MetroPCS' fastest and most advanced phone, but its dismal battery life is a terrible disservice. | 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. |
