Bottom line	With its slow processor and older software, only desperate Android shoppers should consider ZTE's Anthem 4G.	While the Alcatel Authority can serve as a first foray into Android, there are better basic smartphone deals to be found on Cricket.	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.	Despite its ho-hum call quality, the LG Spirit 4G is an affordable smartphone that performs reliably and runs Android 4.0.
