| Bottom line | The T-Mobile Concord's midrange specs won't turn any heads, but it's a reliable, stylish, and inexpensive handset that doesn't require a contract. | The reasonable $80 price tag, dual-core processor, and
Android 4.0, make the LG Optimus L9 a reliable midlevel handset for T-Mobile users. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | Nokia's Lumia 521 is one of the best bargain smartphones on any platform, but skip it if LTE is of paramount concern. |
