| Bottom line | Though the Avid features Ice Cream Sandwich and operates on MetroPCS 4G network, the carrier has other LTE devices that are faster, smoother, and sometimes, even cheaper. | 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. | 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. | With its slow processor and older software, only desperate
Android shoppers should consider ZTE's Anthem 4G. |
