| Bottom line | Despite its ho-hum call quality, the LG Spirit 4G is an affordable smartphone that performs reliably and runs
Android 4.0. | 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. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | Though the Avid features Ice Cream Sandwich and operates on MetroPCS 4G network, the carrier has other LTE devices that are faster, smoother, and sometimes, even cheaper. |
