| 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. | Its laundry list of features require time and effort to truly master, but the
Galaxy S4 is the top choice for anyone looking for a big-screen, do-everything smartphone. |
