| Bottom line | The LG Optimus Elite packs a couple of interesting extras, but at its core it's no more than an average
Android phone with a less than elite design. | The competitively priced Kyocera Rise is fitting for texting enthusiasts looking for a starter smartphone with
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. | Though you won't get blazing data or processing speeds on the Kyocera Event, as an affordable smartphone it's an excellent choice. | The Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE is a good
Android choice, but for the same price, the LG Viper gives you greater camera power. | The LG Optimus V is a great entry-level
Android smartphone if you want to go the prepaid route. |
