| Bottom line | Samsung's middle-of-the-road Galaxy Attain 4G has a nice price and attractive design for MetroPCS customers; but those seeking true LTE speeds should choose a different carrier. | 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. |
