| Bottom line | 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. | 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 HTC One SV’s sleek design and fast processor are impressive, but not its call quality or the pictures it takes. | While the Alcatel Authority can serve as a first foray into
Android, there are better basic smartphone deals to be found on Cricket. |
