| Bottom line | A slower processor, older
Android OS, and uneven camera keep the Samsung Galaxy Metrix 4G and its very good slide-out keyboard from reaching their highest potential. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | Although U.S. Cellular's ZTE Director is inexpensive under contract, the carrier offers better handsets at the same low price. | If you're looking for a midtier
Android smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Axiom's cheap price is hard to beat. |
